Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang fastback is a true vintage machine that
highlights what you love about the first-gen pony car while also
upgrading you with plenty of GT style, added V8 power, and an A/C
interior.
The Dark Green Metallic keeps this coupe distinctive, and the trim
tag tells us it's the factory-correct color. It was given a respray
later in life so the deep green retains a glossy finish. Having a
Mustang in a darker color not only looks stylish, but it also
allows the brightwork to stand out nicely. The quality shine of the
form-hugging chrome bumpers, fender vent trim, window trim, and
galloping pony grille all are quite noticeable. While you'll like
the quality in the fundamentals, what you'll really love is how it
has been comprehensively upgraded to a GT. It includes the fog
lights in the grille, proper GT badging (including the gas cap,)
the dual exhaust mounted through the rear valance, and the triple
rocker stripe that contrasts the green in a similarly attractive
way as the brightwork. There's even a hood scoop for a GT350 level
of flair. And the styled steel wheels do a great job of adding both
shine and a sporty style to this already desirable fastback.
The fresh look of a big investment continues inside. It starts with
the factory-correct black interior. A color that complements the
exterior dark green to give you a great look inside and out. You
can really see and feel the quality in the door panels, carpeting,
dash, headliner, and all the other fundamentals. You get all the
best in classic Mustang features like the thin/grippy three-spoke
sports steering wheel, a center console, and a fold-down rear seat.
And because a GT tribute is a driver's car, you'll love spotting
the Rally-Pac which houses a clock and tach. Being ready for the
road is also about staying comfortable. So the correct-style air
conditioning is running on modern R134a (may need a recharge.) And
the radio is now an AM/FM/CD stereo for the best in driving
music.
V8 Mustangs are always in style, so it's great to see a correct and
tidy presentation in this 289ci C-code coupe. The Monte Carlo Bar
adds bracing and some more Shelby-like style. It also kicks off an
upgraded polished package that includes the shock tower bracing,
alternator, compressor cover, Ford Racing valve covers, and
more.
Because this has plenty of GT style, they also decided to give it a
GT level of power. That means inhaling deeper with a Holley
four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer intake. The motor
fires up eagerly, and upgrades like the new distributor and an
aluminum radiator w/electric fan help keep it running strong. And
to be a good all-around drive, this has features for easy anytime
enjoyment like a three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, power brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.
This is the GT tribute with a terrific style and plenty of
substance. So when you want a head-turning fastback, it's time to
pony up to this pony car. Call now!
