Vehicle Description
When you have a 1966 Ford Mustang GT that has race-ready V8 power,
a slick all-black presentation, and a level of restoration the goes
down to details like factory hang tags - well then, you know this
is the kind of K-code machine that we've all been look for... but
only one of us will be lucky enough to take home.
The Mustang found mass-market appeal from day one, but it's a
machine like this that makes it an enduring icon. In fact, there
were less than 5,550 K-code cars built this year, and it might be
difficult to find a better example anywhere. This received a full
restoration only about 120 miles ago, and so this coupe is even
fresher that it looks in the pictures. It was stripped down to bare
metal, the panels were massaged to a standard above the San Jose
factory, and then a new coat of glossy black was applied to upgrade
this dark horse's personality. And this kind of investment means
the brightwork is so polished, you'll probably catch ladies
checking their red lipstick in the bumpers. But it's a different
kind of red streak that will really have you excited. They paid
attention during the restoration, and so you have terrific details
like the reproduction double-redline tires that look terrific
against the GT's triple rocker stripe. And of course, this one gets
all the other GT details correct, too, like the fog lights in the
grille, full badging, and the trumpeted dual exhaust mounted
through the rear valance. The total pacakge makes for one of the
most striking classics around, and that's before you even look
inside.
A loaded GT means equal parts luxury and performance. That's why
you have a bucket seat interior with premium "Pony" package
embossed in the seats. And because they spared no expense in the
restoration, this feels fresh from the factory. Of course, all
those reproduction factory tags also make it feel like visiting our
showroom is just like visiting the Ford dealer in '66. Once again,
they paid attention to detail with wood and chrome on the center
console coordinating so nicely with the dash and steering wheel.
The atmosphere is so authentic, right down to the trunk mat and the
AM 8-track radio that's still on display. But your favorite parts
of this interior are what make this a terrific GT. The stick shift
is just begging for your right hand, and this even has the
ultra-desirable Rally Pac tach/clock combo mounted on the steering
column.
As much as you'll love the interior and exterior, it's the rare
K-code HiPo 289 cubic-inch V8 under the hood that will truly
impress. After all, it's the motor that took home the trophies
around the globe, and the presentation today will amaze even the
most fickle Mustang enthusiast. Besides being so tidy that you
could serve a meal off of it, this engine bay has the correct tags,
factory decals, and all the right details to bring this icon back
to day one. With the turn of the key, the dual exhaust gives a high
power V8 symphony, and the smooth shifting four-speed makes you the
conductor. The Ford 9-inch limited-slip rear end has versatile 3.50
gears to give it plenty of punch around town but still cruises
reasonably at highway speeds. The aforementioned double redline
tires and front disc brakes means both a classic appearance and
good road holding.
The sale comes with a full restoration photo file and a
reproduction window sticker. So even the paperwork reflects the
level of detail that has gone into this rare and speedy classic.
This is the restored Mustang we've all wanted, and for one lucky
enthusiast, a dream is about to be a reality. If you want that to
be you, hurry up and call today!
