Mustang Story: The car is a 1966 Mustang GT
coupe, Sauterne gold, originally owned and purchased by Richard and Anne
Vanderhoff from Bill Pierre Ford Seattle Washington, May 1966.
Richard and Anne were members and officers for the Southgate Mustang
Club, Seattle Washington for several years as they participated in
autocross and rally events from Bellingham WA to Stockton, CA. Their two
children, Brian and Linda, just hung on seat belted in the back of the
colt while mom burned rubber through the late 60’s and early 70’s. The
colt was a show and go car then. Today, it’s more show and less driving
after completing the frame off restoration in 2012. Back then the car
was highly modified; tons of chrome, roll bar, Shelby stripes, hood
scoop and lock pins. The C code engine got the full treatment; B&B, 30
overbore, heads, cam, intake Hooker headers and 750 dbl pump Holley
carb. Behind that was the 3-speed manual and Detroit locker with the
factory stereo-sonic 8-track sound system playing the greatest hits of
the 60’s.
The colt was always garaged and never damaged. The car sat mostly idle
through the 80’s and 90’s in its modified 60’s make up when it was
decided to restore it all back. Richard and Anne after 38 years together
departed for mustang heaven before the restoration could be completed.
Today the car is shown with a complete photographic history of Richard
and Anne’s 60’s era mustang club activity, the colt’s transformation,
original dealer factory invoice and license plates. Stop by the car when
you see it for a nostalgic trip back in time.was hooked as a child at 7 years old. I bought my first
an Aqua metallic with black vinyl top, 68 after High School. This was followed by a white/blue 82
T-top, while I was in the Army. A red 94 V6 came next after I earned my B.S. degree. I currently
have two Mustangs, #4 and #5, shown below. Mustangs get under your skin, deep into your soul, My
wife even has become hooked on them..
