For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang in Mesa, Arizona

The early first-gen Mustangs really hit a feeling of the American dream on wheels, and this 1966 coupe has a great American story. It has spent its entire life thus far with one family (father and daughter.) So while you'll like the V8 power and nice updates, we know you'll love the history this one wears with pride.


This coupe was purchased in Tucson, Arizona in October 1966...Want to know how we know that? It's in the original bill of sale that's part of this car's exceptional paperwork file. You keep the little things when you want to keep a car for over 55 years. It has only been with a father and his daughter since new, and so this will be the first time this car has even been sold outside of its original family. The car has the right presentation to represent this story well. The factory-correct Springtime Yellow was resprayed later in life, but it's up to you to tell that secret because it has the matured look of originality and enjoyment. And mature should be a buzzword for this car. The trim is complete, right down to the factory wheel covers, and so the overall impression was that it was treated with care from day one.


The highly original parchment interior continues the creamy look of this coupe. It's built to be a good cruiser with front bucket seats, sporty round gauges, and black carpeting that can help hide what dusty shoes leave behind. And there are nice details, like the working under-dash lights, and you even have provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) Time has worn in some of the original components. The value price on this coupe could allow you to budget for plenty of fresh updates and upgrades. But we just like how this one gives you the opportunity to choose how much you want this one to remain original as you want. The sale even comes with the factory radio if you don't like the retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo that upgrades the driving music.


Under the hood of this C-code Mustang is a 289 cubic-inch V8. As a one-family car, it's hard not to believe the claim that this is the original engine. And originally still means the right investments for this powerhouse. We even have receipts documenting a rebuild of both the V8 and the three-speed automatic transmission in the late 1990s. It makes for a strong-running pony car that loves to give you the classic car feel for the road.


The sale comes complete with an impressive paperwork file. It includes the original bill of sale, original warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records. So it's time to get your hands on a Western pony car with a story to tell. Call today!!!
