For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe has a distinct look and upgraded V8 power, so the value goes well beyond finding an affordable and complete example of this pony car icon.

This coupe is a little different then many of the other first-gen cars out there. It carries plenty of the right upgrades, and so it like to announce it with the first impression. The blue paint is different than anything the factory offered in '66. It's an upgrade later in life to a more electric kind of hue. So while the classic trim is complete, and the chrome bumpers shine brightly, you also know this is something more than just vintage. And the addition of the Magnum 500 wheels furthers the car's traditional but upgraded appearance.

The same exterior blue returns inside on the side panels and lower dash. But what you're really going to notice are the comfy fabric bucket seats. There's a Mustang logo on the seat backs finished in the car's blue, and so this feels like a cool/modern take on the classic "Pony" interior package. And with the cloth matching on the rear seats and headliner, this upgrade feels quite thoughtful. There are nice factory features like the grippy three-spoke steering wheel and 1966's round gauge package. This is joined by nice upgrades, like an auxiliary readout trio and an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for the best in modern driving music.

Under the hood, the long air topper and matching valve covers have the look of performance. Mustang fans would have to wait a few more years for Ford's larger 302 cubic-inch V8 from the factory, but this pony car really wants to gallop. So not only does it have the larger motor, but also it has been upgraded with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. The upgraded V8 fires up with a nice tune out of the dual exhaust, and it give this coupe plenty of pep around town. Also aiding in your driving experience is the three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.

This Mustang is not only value-priced, but also it already has the upgrades you really want. So don't let this deal slip away, call today!
