Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang is exactly what you want in an early pony
car. It's a true A-code coupe that shows the right signs to be a
true GT. And that's not even the rarest part! Plus, this has an
era-correct V8, four-on-the-floor, and other great details to give
this some speedy moves on the streets.
The trim tag really gets us excited about this car. It indicates
this was born a Sauterne Gold coupe. It has a cool style that falls
in-between a mint and emerald that gives it an attractive
distinction. Ford only offered the color for two years, which is
always great for rarity, and this was updated later in life to make
sure it keeps a uniform appearance. This has the right sporty
GT-specific elements, like the fog lights in the grille, all the
correct badging, and the triple rocker stipe. This even has the
right GT details, like the reinforced frame rails for the dual
exhaust. Bright bumpers, styled steel wheels, and complete trim all
make for a well-done package on a coupe made to stand out a little
more.
A sharp-looking black interior is always ideal in a sports car. The
smooth dash, clean instrument panel, and excellent door panels, all
make this a nice place to spend some time. Plus, there are some
worthwhile upgrades, like the AM/FM digital tuner with aux input.
And this has a driver-friendly package with the wood-rimmed
three-spoke sports steering wheel and a Hurst floor shifter. But
there is one feature that will really have true enthusiasts
excited. Mustang people instantly recognize that bench seat with
folding center armrest. It makes this a rare classic with only
around 3.5% of total '66 production had this feature in the
coupes!
Under the hood, the 289 cubic-inch V8 looks good with the bold blue
block, matching valve covers, and shining air cleaner. This is an
era correct block with a correct four-barrel carburetor (but now
with a one-inch spacer.) So it gives the right feeling for a
performance-style A-code car like this. The motor runs strong, and
it exhales with a true presence through the dual exhaust. And you
have full control over this V8 and its rumbling soundtrack thanks
to the four-speed manual transmission. Plus, the front disc brakes
and wide BF Goodrich T/As make this a power pony that drives with
confidence.
Seldom do you find an iconic classic that has rarity and
desirability, and yet is still quite obtainable. It's an unbeatable
combination that can be yours if you're quick enough to grab it.
