For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang in Ft Worth, Texas

An awesome color combo, V8 power, and the everlasting appeal of a fastback make this 1966 Ford Mustang 2+2 instantly attractive. And when you see upgrades like the five-speed transmission and Bluetooth radio, you know this is an awesome cruiser's classic.


The 2+2 Fastback has an everlasting appeal. After all, it's the most popular with fans but it has the lowest production numbers of the pony car's body style by far. Another nice piece of distinction is the Emberglo paint. The trim tag tells us it's factory-correct, and since it was only offered for the first two years, it's a terrific hallmark of an early Mustang. This example was even given a high-quality respray where the metallic element really brings out the copper-like glow every time the sunshine finds those fastback curves. And the chrome bumpers and the rest of the brightwork all have a shining attitude for a radiant total package. This also has plenty of added sporty style with the fresh white rocker stripes and upgraded American Racing alloys that look like classic Mag 500 wheels. So it has plenty of driver's car appeal that makes it fun to hit the street.


We love the style of the interior. The distinct Emberglo continues, and now it's joined by parchment inserts that show off the deluxe door panels and premium "pony" package inserts in the seats. And you have terrific classic details everywhere from the working courtesy lights in the doors to the fold-flat rear seat. But this one has also been given the right more modern upgrades. For example, the AM radio is still on display, but your real driving music comes from the AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth that's hidden in the glovebox. And it's an upgraded driving experience with better contoured front bucket seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, large tach, and Hurst shifter.


Under the hood is Ford's hardy 289 cubic-inch V8. It has some added flair with the finned valve covers and matching air grabber. There are also useful updates, like the newer aluminum radiator. This is a strong runner that makes a terrific tune out of the glasspack dual exhaust. Plus, the upgraded five-speed manual transmission gives you good ratios to explore the V8's torque, and at the same time, it puts you fully in control of the rumbling soundtrack. This is a car that likes you to feel the road, but key details like newer front shocks and rear air shocks make for a pleasant driver.


We like this Mustang because it's a terrific cruiser from day one. Plus, we bet you already have plans for upgrades. After all, with such a big aftermarket, you can do anything from adding a four-barrel carb under the big air grabber, to fully resto-modding the suspension. After all, it feels like anything is possible when you have one of the most desirable bodies of the 1960s looking so distinct. So don't miss this fastback, call today!
