Vehicle Description
You have a three-step fantasy: first, leave the house with your
bags already packed. Next, walk into our showroom and point out an
iconic car. Then, drive away and never look back. This 1966 Ford
Mustang convertible is that kind of solid classic that can bring
you the open road that quickly.
This is one of the best icons going - a red first-generation
Mustang. And while this will always be an in-demand car, there's
also extra pride in owing one that was born this way. The Candy
Apple Red looks particularly nice because someone made a strong
investment of updating the color. The result is a strong luster
every time the daylight touches the super-straight body - which is
exactly what you want on a sunshine-friendly droptop. Plus, all the
iconic brightwork elements are in place, such as the correct grille
with the running pony emblem, '289' badges on the fenders,
three-element taillights, and the mirror-like bumpers. And this one
even has a finishing touch of sophistication with the luggage rack
and factory wire wheel coves with spinners.
Beneath the white folding roof is crisp black interior. So you get
to decide which color you want to complement the exterior red
simply by having the roof up or down. We love an all-black
interior, because it represents classic cars so nicely. Plus, this
one is far from a sea of darkness. You have plenty of bright trim
and even some wood accenting to give added character to the
atmosphere. It's best seen where the two elements come together on
the steering wheel. In fact that wheel is a great reminder that
while you know family and friends will want to join you in this
icon, this Mustang is really all about the driver. Front bucket
seats, a sporty gauge arrangement, and a power top that you don't
even have to leave the driver's seat to operate - this classic car
is all about you.
Under the hood is the famous 289 cubic-inch motor. It looks great
with the bright valve covers and blue block boldly standing out
from within the dark engine bay. It has the kind of good power that
helped make the Mustang a legend. This one has a nice exhaust that
has just the right note to remind you there's a V8 under the hood
without waking the neighbors every time you take this out on a warm
summer night. And when you look at the undercarriage photos, you
see more evidence of a clean and solid car with the right
investments in correct components. Plus, the three-speed automatic
transmission and power steering further this easy-driving
attitude.
This is the turn-key ready classic that can hit the open road right
now. But the only way to fulfill that fantasy tomorrow is if you
call today!
