Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang convertible is exactly what you want in an
early pony car. It's a true A-code drop-top that's also believed to
be a true GT. That gives it a real distinction, and when combined
with the four-speed manual transmission, it makes for a great car
that mixes an iconic open-top style with a true performance
experience.
Red Mustangs always instantly attract an audience, and this one
does it one better with a hint of sinister sports car attitude
courtesy of the GT package elements. After all, the white triple
stripe on the rocker panels that sit between the 14-inch styled
steel wheels gives this one a profile that's more aggressive look
than most. And we especially love how the stripe coordinates with
the top to give you a reason to enjoy this convertible even when
the roof is in place. We all know there are some GT-specific
elements you need to get the look right. That's why you have fog
lights in the grille, all the correct badging, GT gas cap, and dual
trumpet exhaust pipes coming through the rear valence. They paid
attention to details during the cars later restoration, and you see
in in places like the shine of the bumpers, door handles, and trim.
This even has the rear luggage rack - a stylish but seldom-seen
feature.
As much as we like the look of this one with the roof in place, a
convertible was made to be open to the world. And this dark black
interior really seems to bring out the sporty side of this GT. Nice
carpeting, taut door panels, and a clean dash make this an inviting
interior. And the upgraded AM/FM digital tune w/cassette and
updated speakers do a great job of delivering upgraded driving
music. That's all ideal, because this one really was made to hit
the open road. It's a driver's environment with bucket seats, a
center console, a grippy three-spoke steering wheel, and a Hurst
shifter right where you want your right hand to rest.
Under the hood is a tidy setup that makes it easy to show off this
289 cubic-inch motor. It includes attractive polished pieces, like
the air topper w/callout, alternator, and Mickey Thompson valve
covers. As a true A-code car it's good to see a four-barrel
carburetor on this V8, especially an upgraded Holley one. The motor
fires up easily, and it exhales with a true presence through a
stainless dual exhaust with Flowmasters. And you have full control
over this V8 and its rumbling soundtrack thanks to the four-speed
manual transmission. Plus, front disc brakes and wide BF Goodrich
T/As means this is a car that confidently keeps you in touch with
the road.
When a real-deal A-code Mustang drop-top is built for driving, then
you know it's a classic that will be back out on the streets soon.
