HOW AUTO AC'S CAME INTO BEING....

[cobram at juno.com]

I had a '66 with AC, IIRC the original sticker price for AC was around
$300, and an extra $30 for tinted windows.  I don't think you could get
one without the other.  AC was definitely the most expensive option, even
more than the GT package.  

My current 66 has the "mighty" single barrel 200 six.  I should have kept
the running gear from my first one, that one rusted out from underneath
me, this po student at the time couldn't afford the pop rivets and sheet
metal to keep her together, I junked the stang and bought a Maverick for
$25.  No AC in the Maverick, but a nice 8 track.   ;-)

We come into the world naked, screaming and covered in blood. Why should
the fun end there?
