For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

It's time to put a pony car in your garage. This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe has a distinctly bright look and a strong-running 289 V8 so it makes for a great way to own America's favorite weekend getaway classic.

This car started out life as a blue coupe, but the vibrant color you see here is a more modern upgrade that loves to turn heads. It has a nice gloss and shine that brings extra attention to the strangeness of the body panels. And because the paint has upgraded the luster, they also invested in the brightwork, too, to bring the whole car up a level. Everywhere from the form-fitting chrome bumpers to the taillight bezels have a mirror-like look of quality. Those styled steel wheels are the ideal intersection of classic Mustang looks and this car's bright attitude.

While black interiors look great, blue with white accenting offers a true standout distinction on this example. These two colors are expertly intertwined for a nice total look. In fact, this is an ideal color combo. After all, the white bucket seats are always distinctive, so you'll happily park this one with all the windows down so everyone can get a good look. But the blue carpeting is a darker color that holds dirt better, so that means you don't have to worry about hopping into this Mustang on a whim and going for a road trip. And that's exactly what these '66 Mustang coupes are great a doing. They are usable and comfortable enough to drive for hours and still arrive in style. In fact, you'll probably never get tired of gazing through the cool blue factory wheel at the full five-dial gauge cluster that became standard in 1966.

The engine bay is extra tidy. It's worthy showing off with the some nice added brightwork on the air cleaner and valve covers. Plus, Mustang fans will love pointing out all the correct decals. More than just look nice, Ford's stout 289 cubic-inch V8 is a great motor to have. It inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and exhales with a sweet sound out of the updated glasspack-style dual exhaust. Having a driving classic also means having the right nice driving features, like the three-speed automatic transmission and Goodyear Eagle GT II tires.

The first-generation Ford Mustang is a true classic car for those who like driving. They are fun, stout, and easy to maintain. Now's your opportunity to pick up a turn-key American icon that also has a great distinctive look. Call now!
