My car: 1966 fastback

 

Before I start telling about my car (yes that will take a while) I will introduce myself to you ! My name is Geoffrey, I am 48 and I live in Erpe-Mere, Belgium. I have organised a rally, called Flanders Mustang Event, for 20 years, organise a yearly weekend with the Mustangdrivers and several drives a year, and of course I am also the webmaster of mustangdrivers.be

Together with my wife Daisy we enjoy and drive my fastback a lot. Meetings, drives, holidays, you name it, we do it !

My car was built in Metuchen USA as an export model. It was sold new in Belgium in early 1966 (built end of 1965) in a Ford garage in Zottegem. As a Belgian car it drives in kilometers rather then miles and it has some equipment not found standard on USA cars. For instance: an export brace in the engine bay (like Shelby's), white parking light lenses instead of amber ones, a thicker front sway bar and a european spec Blaupunkt radio with a special chrome bezel. Most Belgian cars came equipped with "packages" so a console and a rally pac are included as well.

My Mustang is not original, nor concours correct, it had an engine swap, color swap and has bigger wheels and tires and many other changes. What it is, is a driver, a car that is enjoyed a lot on the road. Not just around town, but meetings abroad and many roadtrips through Europe. It has been in 15 European countries, has conquered the Alps, has been in front of many warbirds (old planes), served as our wedding car, was parked in a WOII submarine pen, did a few laps on the vélodrome de Roubaix, drove on several tracks in Europe and UK, aka years and years of fun and good memories. That is what it's all about.
