Vehicle Description
MCA Concours Gold Awarded Candy Apple Red '66 GT Coupe! TRUE
FACTORY BUILT MUSTANG GT!!! Fitted generously with AC, PS,
Automatic and Pony interior! Date coded everything and numbers
matching! This car needs nothing but a new owner! By early March of
1966, Ford had already sold 1,000,000 Mustangs. The seemingly
endless array of possibilities meant that anyone from young teenage
boys to grandmas could spec their Mustang out in various flavors
from mild to wild. There were still three body styles, four engines
and a plethora of interior and exterior colors and trim packages.
All said and done, another 607,000 Mustangs found homes in 1966! We
are very excited to offer this 1966 Ford Mustang GT Coupe! The car
is finished as it was from the factory in Candy Apple Red with
White vinyl roof and Red Pony interior. This car is fitted with its
original A-Code Challenger Special 289ci V8 making 225 horsepower!
Furthermore, the car is fitted with its original C4 Dual-Range
Automatic transmission. Options on the car include air
conditioning, power steering, AM Radio, bucket seats with full
length console, Rally-Pac clock/tachometer, GT equipment group (HD
suspension, 16:1 steering, front disc brakes, 4-inch fog lamps,
five-dial instrument cluster, GT badging, hood accent molding and
triple stripe on lower body), deluxe seatbelts front & rear (front
retractors), visibility group (two-speed wipers, day/nite rear-view
mirror, remote side-view mirror) and styled steel wheels wrapped in
6.95-14 Goodyear Power Cushion white line tires. The car started
life in the sunny Los Angeles DSO and ultimately made its way into
the collection of a Mustang Club of America judge in Arkansas in
1997. The cars potential was realized and it was decided that the
car was to be restored. Seeing as the car still wears all of its
date-code correct sheet metal, it must have been a great foundation
to start with! The car was brought back to a very high level and
upon finishing, was entered into a judged event in 2003, scoring
680 of 701 possible points earning the car Concours Gold Awards.
The car was sold to another Arkansan before making its way to the
greater St. Louis metropolitan area in July of 2007. The new owner,
MCA judging sheets in hand, vowed to correct the issues that kept
the car from scoring every point possible. A frayed wiring harness,
a misaligned taillight and speaker grilles are receipts we have to
verify that this owner meant business! While the car has not been
judged since 2003, we have every reason to believe that the car
would score even higher today than it would have 15 years ago! The
car survives today with an older restoration that would fool many
eyes into thinking it was fresh. The paint and chrome are still at
show level. All mechanicals, lights, radio, gauges, buttons,
switches and even the clock work. Every component of the car that
would have been date stamped when new is and it is all correct. The
fender stamp is clearly visible and body panel gaps are excellent.
This is one of those cars that could make an enthusiast smile just
opening and closing the doors or hood. More so than a lot of other
Mustangs we have had our hands on, simply stepping in this car will
make you feel like you are in 1966 and taking delivery of your
brand new, shiny red Mustang. We have driven the car at modern
interstate speed for a prolonged distance with the A/C on and feel
that this car is as sound as they come mechanically. This car
presents a magnificent opportunity to own not only a turn-key car
that needs not a single thing but also a very stylish way to get
into a V8 MCA gold car. The car comes with many recent receipts as
well as the original Warranty Identification Card! We would invite
any and all questions and would be more than happy to show you this
beautiful Mustang in person! Thanks for looking! Warranty Number:
