WTB 1966 Jack, and spare tire hold down assembly in good condition

You can get a nice original jack here and I see them on ebay quite often. The hold down kits for the spare are available at any Mustang parts vendor. I just got one for my son's car so his spare would stay put when he goes over the speed bumps to his school parking lot.

I didn't buy an OE jack for his car yet, may still get one. I got a small "trolley" floor jack that came in a plastic case. That'll do for now if he happened to have a flat and I'm not available as Dad-to-the-Rescue.

Just be warned the original jack threads tend to wear and strip after 50 plus years. I went to test mine once and it failed immediately. Bought an aftermarket for piece of mind.

Ok I can look there, but wanted to approach fellow members as I feel more comfortable getting a good piece here

This WILL NOT be used, just to have for the car as it didn't come with one. The number of these we threw out, along with other items, when I worked at the Mustang restoration shop when i was young...

Well shoot. I threw mine out. Probably quite a few on ebay.

Chris, are you still looking for one? PM me your cell # and I'll send you pictures of what I have. Nice original jack out of a 1966 Mustang convertible I used to own.
