Vehicle Description
Not only does this 1966 Ford Mustang convertible have an
electric-level blue paint, but it also has electric-level
performance, too. That means a dyno-tested 475+ hp V8, an upgraded
five-speed transmission to control it all, four-wheel disc brakes.
It all makes for one impressive pony that took years to get
right.
This car was a labor of love. The consignor had the vehicle for
over a decade, and he says this full build took four years to
complete. So while it keeps the classic first-gen Mustang lines, it
also wants to make sure no one mistakes it for a stock car. So the
blue paint has the obvious look of a modern color with a more
recent and quality application. Nice body panels, complete badging,
the correct grille, and bright chrome bumpers take care of the
classic fundamentals. But what also catches your eye is more added
sporty style. The exhaust tips are so big and bright that they
almost look like part of the bumper. There's a nice set of
competition-style Torq Thrust wheels, and the extra meaty rear
tires really show off where the power meets the pavement. And if
you look closely, the special motor badge on the front hints at
some serious added power within (more on that in a moment.)
The clean black roof has a smart look against the bright blue
exterior paint, and so when you take it down, it's nice to see a
full black interior. The dash, seats, and carpeting all have an
excellent presentation for a solid investment. And the upgraded
AM/FM digital tuner w/cassette means upgraded driving music. While
that's great for everyone, there are a ton of great upgrades just
for the driver. The factory gauge panel now has crisp AutoMeter
Phantom readouts, they added a large AutoMeter Sport-Comp tach, and
you'll love the grip of the Hurst T-handle shifter. Plus, the roll
bar adds strength to the chassis, and its exterior-matching blue is
another stylish way this one announces it's something special.
The big shine coming from the engine bay signals a solid investment
in the powerhouse. Remember the callouts on the fender? This is a
302 cubic-inch V8 stroked to 347ci total. It's a full performance
build done by Pro-Formance Unlimited, and so the motor is enhanced
and fortified with Edelbrock E-Street heads, an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock air gap aluminum intake, and
Dougs headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust with Flowmaster
mufflers. You'll also spot the right supporting pieces, such as an
MSD ignition and an aluminum radiator with electric fan. It's a
terrific powerhouse and we have the dyno sheet showing it makes 479
horsepower! You take full control over this powerful pony with the
upgraded five-speed manual transmission. This feeds a strong Currie
9-inch rear. And as you look underneath, you'll spot worthwhile
investments like added frame bracing, newer bushings, and
four-wheel power disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with the build receipts, dyno sheet, and
restoration photos. This is the speedy custom Mustang that's built
for those who really want to drive. Since that's most of us, you
need to hurry to grab this all-around terrific pony. Call
