and Trunk with Mat Jack and Spare with covers.Ford's biggest
success of the sixties and the originator of the 'Pony car' concept
was essentially a sporty compact car but with a now legendary long
hood and short deck proportions, built on Falcon and Fairlane
chassis and drive-train components, the Ford Mustang was introduced
in April 1964 as '65 models and within a year became the fastest
selling car of all time; with these early production cars now
carrying special favor! The upgraded V8 from the Falcon six
cylinder engine was the 260 c.i. V8 produced on the same assembly
line with other 1964 Fords, the early models were titled as 1965
models although they were actually from the 1964 production era.
After September 1964 the 260 V8 was dropped in favor of the larger
289 V8 like this particular car.This particular example boasts its
original 'Candyapple Red' (T code) color paint with a 'Parchment
amp; Rosette Crinkle Vinyl with Palomino' (D9 trim code) standard
interior and was built with the C4 automatic transmission and a
2.80:1 axle. This particular example has obviously been very well
preserved and maintained and the car drives beautifully with no
known mechanical issues whatsoever. It must be seen and driven to
be fully appreciated - a very striking example which turns heads
wherever she goes! The engine is extremely strong and responsive
and the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the
engine temperature always remains cool. In summary this is one very
fine and striking super rare 1966 Ford Mustang 289 V8 Convertible
for the Mustang enthusiast and a great daily driver for any
American classic car lover. A beautiful example of this
increasingly collectible and one of the most desirable classic
Mustangs ever in turn-key ready daily driving, daily head-turning,
and daily appreciating condition!
