For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang in Lithia Springs, Georgia

This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a true icon of the open road. After all, to have a red first-gen V8 pony car in the rarer and more desirable drop-top version is the kind of vintage cruiser that will always be in demand.

We all know how a Mustang should look, so you really want to make sure you find a complete example like this one. It need the wraparound chrome bumpers, full trim, and of course, the running pony leading the way. And because this is such an all-American, we love these convertibles in red. This one even has some nice sporty vintage details like the styled steel wheels and the GT-style dual exhaust that's mounted through the rear valance. Plus, everything from the whitewall tires to the newer black convertible top give this the right kind of feeling for a great classic cruiser.

With the flip of a switch, the roof power folds to reveal a full black interior. So you get the timeless red with black color combo no matter if the top is up or down. This full black package inside has received the right attention to continue looing nice. You get a grippy three-spoke sports steering wheel with Mustang center cap, and beyond that is the full round gauge package that became standard in 1966. It gives this a nice driver-oriented feeling, especially with the bucket seats up front with a center console in-between. There's even upgraded driving music with the AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input to plug in your phone.

Under the hood is the famous 289 cubic-inch motor. It has a well-done overall appearance with good details, like the bold blue block, shining valve covers, and matching air topper. More than just look good, this is a well-maintained package that fires up easily and runs strong. The three-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the power steering is quite handy. Plus, the exhaust that has just the right note to remind you there's a V8 under the hood without waking the neighbors every time you take this out on a warm summer night.

This is a well-done timeless icon that we've all dreamed of owning. So it's time to fulfill that promise, call today!
