The Camaro and Mustang are two of the most iconic muscle cars in America. In a couple ways both cars are very similar. However, both cars are less alike than they are similar.

The engine is replaced with the a new one, the radio and speedometer are fixed, it receives a new paint job and none of the old parts remain. The 1966 mustang now contains no original parts but all new ones. After the job of restoring our mustang is done, an even older mustang comes in and the shop takes the parts from our mustang and puts them in the older one. The job is done and my dad goes to drive the car home with me again following in the truck.
