invoices � We absolutely love the first generation Mustangs here at
Motoexotica and this one is classic and correct to it's very red
core! MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1966 Ford
Mustang Convertible that we are selling for a close friend who has
owned this sweet Mustang for the past 16 years. Built on March 12,
1966 at Ford's Dearborn, Michigan assembly plant, this classic pony
droptop is finished in Candyapple Red (code T) with a white,
power-folding top and red tonneau cover. It was originally shipped
to the Richmond, Virginia area. The paint is overall excellent
condition while the glass panels are intact and in very good
condition. The car's lights are in one piece and haze-free and look
great. All of the car's body panels are in great shape, solid and
straight, including the white roof, which is in good condition and
has no tears or rips. The engine bay is quite tidy and the battery
appears new. This pony rolls on Firestone Affinity whitewall
radials surrounding factory wheel covers. Beneath that red hood is
a 289 CID Windsor V-8 (code C) mated to a Cruise-O-Matic FX
three-speed automatic transmission (code 7) and 3.00:1 rear end
(code 1). Power convenience features include power steering and
power top. Please note that the power top functions but needs some
assistance by hand while operating. Inside, the red interior is
eye-catching. The front bucket and rear vinyl seats are in very
good overall condition, as is the matching carpet. The black,
padded instrument panel presents some contrast to the red and is
also in very good overall shape and crack-free. The original,
three-spoke steering wheel is present and looks great. The inner
door panels are still red though there is some sun fade evident on
the rear side panels, a sure sign this car has been enjoyed with
the top down on more than one occasion! The rear and sideview
mirrors are all in very good order while the shift lever looks
good. Completing the interior is a factory AM/FM radio with
eight-track player. The 1966 Mustang debuted with moderate trim
changes including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers
and gas cap. A large number of new paint and interior color
options, an�AM/eight-track�sound system, and one of the first
AM/FM�mono�automobile radios were also offered. It also removed the
Falcon instrument cluster; the previously optional features,
including the round gauges and padded sun visors, became standard
equipment. The Mustang would be the best-selling convertible in
1966, with 72,119 sold, beating the number two Chevrolet�Impala�by
almost two to one. Total Mustang sales accounted for seven percent
of all American car sales in 1966 and it was the third best-selling
nameplate in America; quite a feat for moniker just three model
years old at that point. This was the first year of federally
mandated safety standards. All 1966 Fords had front and rear seat
belts, a padded instrument panel, emergency flashers, electric
windshield wipers and windshield washers as standard equipment. The
1965 and 1966 Mustangs are differentiated by variations in the
exterior, despite similar design. These variations include the
emblem on the quarter-panels behind the doors. From August 1964
production, the emblem was a single vertical piece of chrome, while
for 1966 models the emblem was smaller in height and had three
horizontal bars extending from the design, resembling an "E." The
front intake grilles and ornaments were also different. The 1965
front grille used a "honeycomb" pattern, while the 1966 version was
a "slotted" style. While both model years used the "Horse and
Corral" emblem on the grille, the 1965 had four bars extending from
each side of the corral, while on the 1966, these bars were
removed. Competition to this Mustang in 1966 included Chevrolet's
Corvair Monza and Chevy II convertibles, Dodge's Dart 270
Convertible and Ford's own Falcon Convertible. Documentation
includes original owner's manual other, assorted receipts and
invoices. This car is currently located at our facility in St.
Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 80,394
miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage
