Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang GT fastback is an exceptionally restored
coupe with everything you could want, including four-on-the-floor
and an A/C interior. So take extra time digging into the details of
this true award-winner that's stunning, accurate, and a true blast
to drive.
The trim tag tells us this is a code 63B luxury fastback. Mustang
fans know truly how rare it is with less than 8,000 produced in
1966, and that represented less than 1.3% of total Mustang
production for that year. Oh yeah, it's the kind of rarity that
will have you reaching for our phone number before you even check
out the high quality restoration that has gone into this extremely
desirable pony car. It all starts with the paint. The Springtime
Yellow is an attractive way to stand out against the more common
red or black 2+2 Mustangs. It really draws you in with the quality
of its hard shine. That makes for an already alluring coupe before
you add all the GT package elements. The black triple stripe on the
rocker panels sits in-between the 14-inch factory styled steel
wheels to nicely contrast the light paint with sporty style. Plus,
we all know there are more GT-specific elements you need to get
right, and this one has the fog lights in the grille and dual
trumpet exhaust pipes coming through the rear valence. The chrome
is bright, the stainless has been polished, and all the little trim
pieces are in place, right down to the proper GT badges on the
fenders and gas cap. This is all part of a comprehensive
restoration that took place in 2004, and it seems this only coupe's
job was to rack up awards since then. It even received the Blue
Grille Medallion from the Mustang Club of America in 2010. Those
who know these pony cars understand that this only goes to the
thoroughbreds.
The fresh look of a big investment continues inside. It starts with
the factory-correct black interior. It's a color that really gives
a timeless contrast to the exterior yellow (just like rocker
stripes.) Plus, everyone loves to see the premium "Pony" package
interior on this luxury fastback. You can really see and feel the
quality in the door panels, carpeting, dash, headliner, and all the
other fundamentals. This gets all the best in classic Mustang
features like the working AM radio, center console, and fold-down
rear seat. The correct-style air conditioning is even blowing nice
and cold. And because a GT is a driver's car, you'll love spotting
the Rally-Pac with clock and tach.
This is an A-code car, and so it's great to see a performance 289
cubic-inch V8 under the hood. The consignor also states this is the
original motor to the car. This engine bay received just as much
meticulous attention during the restoration as the rest of the
coupe. And all the details are present, including the decals,
Ford-stamped hoses, correct washer bag, and even the air
conditioner has the correct tag. As you look at the undercarriage,
they even remembered to get the red oxide right! But beyond just
the attention-grabbing components that impress at car shows, this
motor has real performance substance. As an A-code car, and so it
should be no surprise that there is a four-barrel carburetor on
this V8. It exhales with a commanding presence through the H-pipe
dual exhaust. The four-speed manual transmission is also believed
to be original, and it gives you full control over the V8. Plus,
the front disc brakes and fresh suspension components give you
confidence on the road.
The sale comes complete with a reproduction buildsheet, owner's
manual, a restoration photo book, and a list of the awards already
won. This is an exceptional restoration, and it deserves it because
this also looks to be one of the rarest and most desirable Mustangs
around. Don't let this fleeting opportunity to buy the best slip
away. Call today!!!
