Mustang of the Month

Gary & Denise Porter
1966 Burgundy Mustang Convertible

Over a year ago I began searching for a mid 60’s mustang. I started to give up because most were out of state or out of my price range. Four days after attending your Mustang Club meeting my luck changed. I found a 1966 convertible about 40 miles away. The next day Denise and I drove to Mercer Island and met a very nice lady that had kept her Mustang under a carport for 25 years. She said she just didn’t drive her anymore. Based on the puddles under the car, we knew it needed work. We bought our Mustang that day and had the car trucked home June of 2025.

After three weeks in the shop, five new tires and a little buffing, our Mustang, we call “Betty”, was ready for the road. She’s not perfect but we enjoy the drive when the sun is out. “Betty” has been to 3 car shows in 2025 and we're ready for more this summer.

Joining PCMC has been a great experience and visiting with the people at the shows is fun too. Thank you for the opportunity to share our Mustang story. See you at a club meeting or car show!
