Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a great daily driving and
striking example of this 1966 Ford Mustang 'C' code 289 V8
Convertible with original 3 speed manual transmission in original
'Wimbledon White' factory color paint with a very striking
reupholstered original 'Dark Red with Red trim' vinyl trim interior
and a new 'White' power soft top and with the desirable 289 V8
engine.Ford's biggest success of the sixties and the originator of
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 'Wimbledon White' factory color paint
and 'Dark Red' interior and was built with the 3 speed manual
transmission and a 2.80:1 axle. The car drives very well with no
known mechanical issues. It has a new clutch, all new seals, amp;
battery. The engine is extremely strong and responsive and the 3
speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the
engine temperature always remains cool. In summary this is one very
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!
