MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer this bright red 1966
Ford Mustang Coupe that was sold new at Moore Ford in Richardson
Texas. This example was made in Ford's Dearborn, Michigan factory
(VIN code F). According to the previous owner, this car underwent a
restoration with more than $25,000 invested in it. He indicated
that the Mustang had a fresh engine rebuild, new clutch, new
brakes/lines, new seals, new front end bushings, new shocks, new
balljoints/tie rods, complete new interior, seat covers, cushions,
tracks, springs, carpet, headliner, visor covers, in dash am-fm
stereo, new exhaust, new tires and new bumper guards.
Finished in red, the car's paint and trim are in overall excellent
condition, including the full black vinyl roof. The car's bodywork
is straight. The car's engine bay is tidy, the battery is in good
order, and the new chrome bumpers look great. The radio antenna is
bent at the top.
This pony wears new Prime Well PS850 radials, size 205/70R14 at all
four corners. Each tire surrounds a Magnum Pony-style wheel cover.
The tires are in very good order while the wheels are in excellent
shape.
Under the hood is a 200 CID Thriftpower straight six-cylinder
engine. Backing the engine is a three-speed manual transmission.
New parts include a clutch, brakes lines, new front end, bushings,
shocks, ball joints, tie rods, etc.
Inside, the car has an all-new black interior with seat covers,
cushions, tracks, springs, carpet, headliner, sun visors and
stereo. The instrument panel, with a full set of gauges, plus a Sun
tachometer lashed to the steering column, and the inner door liners
are in excellent condition, as is the Hurst shifter. Completing the
interior is an AM/FM radio.
The 1966 Mustang debuted with moderate trim changes including a new
grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers and gas cap. A large
number of new paint and interior color options, an AM/eight-track
sound system, and one of the first AM/FM mono automobile radios
were also offered. It also removed the Falcon instrument cluster;
the previously optional features, including the round gauges and
padded sun visors, became standard equipment.
The 1965 and 1966 Mustangs are differentiated by variations in the
exterior, despite similar design. These variations include the
emblem on the quarter-panels behind the doors. From August 1964
production, the emblem was a single vertical piece of chrome, while
for 1966 models the emblem was smaller in height and had three
horizontal bars extending from the design, resembling an "E." The
front intake grilles and ornaments were also different. The 1965
front grille used a "honeycomb" pattern, while the 1966 version was
a "slotted" style. While both model years used the "Horse and
Corral" emblem on the grille, the 1965 had four bars extending from
each side of the corral, while on the 1966, these bars were
removed.
Competition to this car in 1966 included Chevrolet's Corvair and
Chevy II, Dodge's Dart, Ford's own Falcon, and Plymouth's
Barracuda.
