Throughout history only a few iconic vehicle have been able to stay
in continuous production to this date. A little more than a dozen
cars from the 60's are still available for sale with the same
design philosophies. The Ford Mustang is among the list of those
vehicles. Produced in Dearborn, Michigan from 1965-1973 the first
generation mustang was subject to record breaking sales. This
propelled Ford with a winning formula and a recognizable
classic.
This 1966 Mustang Fastback was originally built at the San Jose,
California, Ford plant and originally powered by an A-code 289ci V8
with a four-barrel carburetor. A replacement trim tag has been
fitted to the car, and the tag shown above decodes as follows: Body
63B - Two-door fastback, Color 4 - Silver Frost exterior finish,
Trim 65 - Red interior, Date 11J - September 11 build date, DSO 71

standard differential, Trans 5 - Four-speed manual
transmission.
Today, this Mustang Fastback is equipped with a replacement crate

heads, stainless-steel valves, a Schneider Racing Camsroller
camshaft, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, ribbed aluminum valve
covers, a Mallory distributor, and a stainless-steel dual exhaust
system. Additional chassis supports have been added to compensate
for the larger motor. All said and done, this is a superb concours
quality restoration and sympathetic resto-mod of an original
Fastback. Not too much, not too little, but just enough to enjoy
around town, on back roads and for highway cruising.
The Ford Mustang has stood the test of time and will continue to do
so. This is an opportunity to purchase an iconic vehicle
accompanied by full service and restoration records and well as
ownership history. This Fastback is turn key and ready for
