Vehicle Description
1966 Ford Mustang Coupe
Advertisements became popular reminders of the Mustang's youthful
spirit, such as one featuring two mature adults sitting in a new
Mustang with the words, "Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime
to waste it on children." It was the car to have it you were
seeking the fountain of youth. The 1966 Ford Mustang was the car to
have if you were looking to win over your neighbor or hit the road
for fun and adventure. It was also a must-have for enthusiastic
drivers and car enthusiasts who simply liked to drive.
A consigner noted "drivers' car" a couple of phases of restoration
have made this car and interesting combination, as well as a
reliable 1966 car. And did I mention a good looker?
Exterior
Candy Apple Red replaces original white. Also 2 new rear quarter
panels, and floor panels were completely replaced. GT fog lights
were added at this time and have their own separate switch.
Remaining metal is mostly straight, and chrome and badging appear
very fine. Spoked wheels on all fours. Rear trunk gaps are good,
and exterior lighting is all functional.
Interior
Original buckets with horizontal tufting in the center and smooth
bolsters show in good shape, as does the rear bench in the same
pattern. Red carpet slightly faded but in nice condition covers the
floors. The dash is original Mustang configuration for 1966 Model
year, is black fields with a red surround. Red metal below and
padded red vinyl on top for safety. A new wood steering wheel and
upgraded retro audio AM/FM Cassette and kick panel speakers,,,Rock
On! All instruments work, and the heater has a new heating element.
Also different from original a manual choke is seen, for much
easier starting.
Drivetrain
Replacing the original engine, a 289ci V8 sits comfortably in a
clean engine bay. Attached to the back is a Borg Warner 4-speed
manual transmission.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust can be seen, but this is typical of a "driver
car". Power brakes are installed, and a rebuilt front end with
rocker arms and bushings.
Not every car can be a numbers matching garage queen that is rarely
enjoyed. If you are seeking a concours restored car that you want
as a "queen" this is not your car. If you are an early Mustang
aficionado one to drive your classic car. A wonderful V8 with
updated transmission, then this is your pony...uhhh, Mustang!
