Training Cars for the May 2017 Competition Ready Detailing Class here at Autogeek in Stuart, Florida

Low mileage 1966 Mustang
Local car guy just bought this classic Mustang. He was told it had the original paint but I tested it and the paint appears to be a basecoat/clearcoat paint system. It has lots of swirls and contamination. The interior is also very grimy.

I had a car like that, briefly. It had been repainted to a puke green color by Earl Scheib, with some crappy body work. So I did some slightly better crappy body work to it, and my friend and I repainted it to the original factory gold color...which didn't look anything like the color in your pictures.

Although, I guess it looked like this: Sauterne Gold Green 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop - MustangAttitude.com Photo Detail which is maybe why Earl Scheib painted it green.

Do you think they matched that BC/CC to a different factory color? Although it seems unlikely they would have two gold colors in the same year.

Great question about the correct gold color for a classic Mustang but I don't know the answer. The owner just purchased this car. I'll ask him when he drops it off this week for the class.

You always find such cool vehicles for your 3 day detailing classes. I can't wait to see the 1969 GTO, 1932 Deuce Coupe and the 1948 Buick Super Roadmaster Convertible once they've been detailed.
