Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang is an eye-catching summer cruiser and was a
beneficiary of an extensive rotisserie restoration. Originally
debuting in the middle of 1964, the Mustang was targeted at the
youth-oriented market because they are sporty and fun to drive, and
have a great appearance while remaining affordable for younger
potentially first time buyers. And it worked! The Mustang became an
instant hit across the United States, launched an entirely new
sub-genre of muscle car, the Pony Car, and today remains one of the
most iconic Fords ever produced. After the initial success in 1964
and 1965, the Ford Motor Company did not want to change what was
working on the Mustang and thus the company made only minor
stylistic revisions to the 1966 edition. In fact, Ford was
advertising the 1966 Mustang with the tag line "Relax Mustang
lovers. Your favorite car hasn't changed much in 1966." From the
outside, likely the biggest change occurred to the grille, shifting
away from the '65 honeycomb style grilles to a horizontal bar,
floating Mustang look. The interior were also modestly updated with
the introduction of a 5 pot instrument cluster treatment which gave
the new Mustang more of a race car look and feel. With over 1.25
million Mustangs on the roads by the end of 1966, the Mustang
remained a massive sales success for Ford. This particular 1966
Mustang 2 door hardtop comes to us with Arizona history and was
clearly the beneficiary of an extensive rotisserie restoration.
Powering this '66 Mustang C-Code is a 289 Cubic Inch V8 engine
paired with a single 2 barrel carburetor that was rated at 200
horsepower back in 1966. The 289 V8 is backed by an Automatic
