Red is a distinctive color on a classic Mustang and it's a red that gets you noticed. So be prepared to be known as the "Mustang Guy" or "Mustang Gal" at your local coffee shop. Of course, this kind of distinction is also because you and everyone else really loves this total package. It includes the wraparound chrome bumpers, iconic Mustang corral grille, and crisp body lines. Plus, the addition of the 15-inch Mag-style wheels enhances both the sportiness and shine of this coupe.

Another part of this car's distinction is the red interior. After all, it coordinates with the exterior to deliver a memorable total appearance. Plus, with the seats, dash pad, door panels, and headliner looking good from a more recent investment, this is a nice place to spend some time. In fact, this one even has the right upgrades for this classic to be enjoyed like a modern machine. It includes an armrest center console with cup holder, AM/FM/cassette stereo, and air conditioning blowing cold with modern R134a. The three-spoke steering wheel gives you a clear view to the crisp round gauge package. And the floor shifter with factory-style center console is a nice place to rest your right hand while cruising.

When you open the hood, the callout on the shiny air topper says it all. This was upgraded to a 302 cubic-inch V8. Not only is this a larger than anything you got in '66, but the consignor states this was borrowed from a much younger blue oval coupe. While an upgrade in displacement is fine for some people, this one goes much further. You have an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, fabricated valve covers, and headers feeding the stainless dual exhaust. And the upgrades don't stop with the motor. The four-speed automatic transmission gives you better radios for the enhanced V8 as well as overdrive comfort. Plus, you have a new front sway bar, new springs, front disc brakes, upgraded electronic power steering and a newer set of wide BF Goodrich T/As.

This Mustang really check all the right boxes for a classic coupe that has the added power, correct features, and solid feeling you want in a driver's classic. So if you're ready to fully enjoy an American icon, call today!
