Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang convertible has a terrific factory-correct
color combo, an A/C interior, and the original V8 under the hood.
So if you're a collector who also enjoys the drive, you already
know how desirable this distinct icon is.
This Mustang looks spectacular on the outside in its
factory-correct shade of Emberglo - a color that's perfectly bold
like red, but much more unique. And because this is a
sunshine-friendly convertible, it has been refreshed later in life
to have a nice clearcoat shine in the sunlight. And even when the
weather is gray, with the flip of a power switch, the white
convertible top continues this car's distinction. The long hood and
short deck are ideal sports car elements, and the scalloped sides
with faux chrome air ducts even feels a bit European. Of course,
this was a true American that included just the right amount of
chrome on the bumpers, window surrounds, and the iconic grille with
a horse that runs in against the crowd. All of the brightwork is
looking good on this convertible, right down to factory styled
steel wheels. So you already know it's a terrific cruiser even
before you slip behind the wheel.
The interior retains part of its original Emberglo and Parchment
setup, but we can tell there has been a lot of care and investment
to keep it looking this good today. It even includes an upgrade to
desirable premium "pony" seat package. Owning a classic Mustang is
all about the driving experience, and that's why you still get the
vintage steering wheel supported by the full round gauge package
that was standard for '66. And the Rally Pac tach and clock mounted
on the steering column is a rare treat we all love to see. There
has been a true effort to keep the interior feeling period-correct.
That's why you have everything from the correct trunk mat to the AM
radio that's still cranking out tunes. But while the air
conditioning looks like the correct unit that upper-class Mustangs
received, it now has provisions for modern R134a.
One look under the hood and you'll be impressed. This is a C-code
car, and it looks terrific with the bold blue block, matching air
topper, and all those correct decals. More than just look right,
you'll be able to wow everyone when you tell them this is the
original 289 cubic-inch V8, stated by the consignor! Not only did
they make solid investment into making this Mustang look amazing,
but it also was given all the right driving investment, too. It
includes $2,000 spent on new front steering and suspension
components in 2014, as well as a three-speed automatic transmission
that's freshly rebuilt.
This is the distinct first-gen Mustang droptop that has been given
all the right investments to mix great originality and terrific
driver's upgrades. So if you like to take your classics out on the
road, and look memorable doing it, call today!
