Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang is a distinct GT tribute with a serious
fuel-injected power, a comfy A/C interior, overdrive transmission,
and a detail-oriented look that makes it a unique and awesome
speedy machine.
There has been a ton invested in this coupe over the last few years
- about $45,000 in total. The standout presentation on this coupe
starts with the upgrade to Sahara Beige paint. We see plenty of
nice Mustangs in more common colors, so we like that there was an
investment in this 1966-only color. It has the kind of modern
luster to look great against all the bright trim and styled steel
wheels. Plus, this one has been custom crafted to offer hints at
the sporty upgrades underneath the skin. It has great GT-style
upgrades, like the fog lights in the grille, gas cap, and dual
trumpet exhaust pipes coming through the rear valence. And not only
do you have the rocker stripes done in a handsome brown, but also
you have a Shelby-like dual racing stripes so fully painted on this
one that it's even extends below the bumpers.
Inside is a nice mix of vintage and new. We all love the look of a
premium "Pony" package on an early Mustang, and this one is
particularly fresh thanks to a $3,500 investment here. There are
plenty of upgrades for comfort, like the cup holder center console,
retro-style AM/FM digital tuner w/aux input, Duramat insulation,
and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. There are some nice
performance-style upgrades, like the wood-rimmed three-spoke
steering wheel and an upgraded Classic Instruments full gauge
package, including speedo and tach. And the exterior's racing
stripes return on the dash for a nice touch. You'll even love
showing off the trunk. Not only are there practical pieces like the
CD changer, subwoofer, and the Optima red top battery (for better
weight distribution,) but also you'll love stylish elements like
the LED lighting and custom carpeting that continues the exterior's
racing stripes. It all reinforces how thoughtful the restoration
was on this coupe.
While there have been some nice investments inside and out, your
performance heart is going to love the engine bay the best. It's a
374 cubic-inch stroker V8. It starts with a Dart block and has been
enhanced and fortified with Dart Race aluminum heads and an Eagle
balanced rotating assembly. Plus, this is topped with an Edelbrock
aluminum intake and FiTech fuel injection. There's over $12k
invested in the motor alone, and this was more than just about pure
power. You have the right supporting components, too, like the
serpentine belts, MSD ignition, and an aluminum radiator w/electric
fan. The transmission is a versatile four-speed unit that is
fortified to handle big power, and also shifts smooth for easy
overdrive cruising. This feeds a limited slip rear end. The
suspension was refreshed during the restoration, and now it even
includes QA1 shocks. It has a confident feeling on the road, and
that's furthered by power steering and a new power brake system
with discs up front.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and build receipts
documenting the thousands $$$$$ invested in the restoration in just
the last few years. So if you love a solid, cool, and speedy
Mustang, call today!
