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 Luxury White Pony bucket seats interior and was built with
the C4 automatic transmission and a 2.80:1 axle. This particular
example has obviously been well preserved and maintained and the
car drives very well with no known mechanical issues. It should 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 rare 1966 Ford Mustang 289 V8
Convertible 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!
