I would have started this in the Classic forum, but that doesn't get as much traffic as this folder, and the quicker this question is answered, the better.
There's a '66 HiPo coupe for sale near where I live (was originally the A-code, a K-code was put in 28k ago, total mileage is 128k), and it's a pretty rare one, having an automatic and a front bench seat. Anyways, how would I go about insuring this thing if I get it? I know there's classic insurance and all, but I really don't want a mileage limit on this thing. Any help would be appreciated, since this car won't last probably.

I know that insurance on classics is dirt cheap even if the car is a daily driver.
When I was 17 I tried to buy a '68 Chevelle. The insurance was $2200 a year. This sounds high but a 5.0 Mustang would have cost my $5000 a year at the time.
Basically the car needs to be appraised and that will affect the insurance rate. Most online quote systems don't go father back than 1980 so your best bet is to call your insurance company, tell them the value of the car, and quote it as a daily driver.

Actually, nevermind, I won't need financing, as the guy has agreed to a payment plan of some kind! That '66 is MINE!

It'll take a couple of weeks to a month to get together what he'd want for a down payment, but trust me, I'll post pictures when I get it.
It's white with what's technically called an aqua interior, but it's more of a light blue. There are some tiny rust spots behind the rear wheels and a pair of small (like, ball bearing sized) dings on the driver's side door, but otherwise a little wash and wax will make it look like a winner from the outside. The interior isn't show quality, but still VERY good.
Can anyone give me an idea of how much it'll cost to upgrade to disc brakes, at least in the front?

Go to one of the classic Mustang suppliers like the Paddock or Stainless steel brakes inc. From what I can tell, complete kits with everything are between $800 and $1000. that is w/o installation.
