Vehicle Description
Early Mustangs like this 1966 Ford Mustang GT convertible are
rock-solid places to park some money. Their values have been on the
rise for years and while that's going on, you have one of the most
beloved cars of all time in your garage. This convertible features
all the important stuff, ranging from an A-code 289, 4-speed manual
transmission, and an awesome color combination, making it a
terrific summer cruiser that will make you smile every time you
drive it.
If you're going to have a Mustang convertible, it may as well be a
high-visibility GT, right? This one is a real-deal GT and has all
the proper hardware to back it up. Painted in 2013, the spectacular
black finish is holding up superbly. Sure, it shows a few extremely
minor signs of use because nobody can resist the siren song of a V8
pony car in the garage, but this is the kind of car that makes men
and women, young and old look appreciatively as it drives by.
You'll park it in parking lots and walk away backwards to admire it
as you go. Fit and finish are excellent with doors that don't sag
and decent gaps all around that closely approximate how the factory
did it. It shines up nicely so you'll enjoy waxing it almost as
much as driving it, and with red GT stripes running along the
rockers, everyone will know this isn't a garden-variety pony. It
has also been recently treated to a Sapphire ceramic coating, so it
should look this good for years to come. Other GT features include
the twin fog lamps in the grille area, shiny chrome exhaust
trumpets poking through the rear valence, and, of course, the GT
gas cap, all of which give it a slightly more aggressive look than
your standard Mustang.
The red Pony interior was obviously restored not too long ago and
you'll find it's easy to get comfortable behind the wheel, like
seeing an old friend. The handsome color combination is a nice
complement to the shiny black paint, an elegant two-tone look that
makes the Mustang feel more expensive than it is. It's fitted with
desirable options like a center console and Rally-Pac
clock/tachometer on the steering column, plus the interior d�cor
group that includes a wood-rimmed steering wheel and dash panels.
The only noteworthy upgrade is an AM/FM stereo in the dash that
expands your entertainment options beyond the original AM setup.
The original gauges show very good faces and clear lenses, and they
all seem to be working the way they should. Overhead, there's a
recent white power convertible top that uses a red boot to give the
car a trim look, top up or top down. In addition, the trunk wears
correct plaid mats and a spare tire with its own cover.
This is a real A-code car and carries what we believe is the
original 289 cubic inch V8. It's still wearing proper Ford Blue
paint, a chrome air cleaner with decal, and a set of finned valve
covers, all of which are period pieces that still look great. This
A-code V8 offers a 4-barrel carburetor and 225 horsepower, making
this a sweet-running pony that can still slice through traffic with
the best of them. It also includes a big aluminum radiator, a Monte
Carlo bar, as well as front disc brakes that were part of the GT
package. The "Toploader" 4-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly
and powers an 8-inch rear with 3.00 gears inside, making this a
nice car to drive around town or on the highway. There's also a
recent gas tank and a great-sounding dual exhaust system with
proper trumpets out back. Classic styled steel wheels with
195/75/14 redline radials complete the classic Mustang look.
A wonderful vintage ragtop that is still as in-demand today as it
was 50 years ago and if you're paying attention, this is the
Mustang to own. Call now!
