Vehicle Description
It's hard not to love an early Mustang. Ford's fun-loving Pony Car
was a blast to drive and made it easy to make friends anywhere it
went. But, if there was one small complaint about the Mustang's
beginnings, it was that it wasn't quite the beefiest muscle car on
the block until some years later. However, this particular 1966
Ford Mustang Fastback has remedied those issues and created the
ultimate early Pony Car.
Cloaked in a beautiful Nightmist Blue paint, this Mustang did away
with the respectable 289 V-8 and replaced it with a big-boy 351
cubic-inch Windsor small-block Ford topped with a four-barrel
Holley carb, Edelbrock aluminum intake, MSD ignition, and trick
valve covers with "351" emblazoned on them to let the world know
this is no ordinary '66 'Stang. That motor's power is funneled
through a modern Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission, which
allows for better acceleration as well as improved fuel economy at
highway speeds versus the original car's three-speed auto or
four-speed manual.
Riding high on its independent front and leaf spring rear
suspension, power disc brakes at all four corners hide behind
14-inch wheels shod in Galaxy Radial G/T rubber measuring
205/70R-14 all working in unison to keep this powerful stallion
glued to the road.
Inside, the jet-black interior is highlighted by a wood-rimmed GT
steering wheel and Hurst shifter. The big speedometer sits front
and center of the driver, flanked by two gauges on either side to
keep tabs on all pertinent info the Mustang has to offer. The
odometer reads just 42,727 miles, and while we don't have official
confirmation of this number, the condition of this beautiful car
seems to point to a very light-duty life to this point.

The Ford Mustang has been bringing smiles to people's faces for the
better part of six decades, and this 1966 Fastback is an amazing
example of where it all started. More importantly, this particular
Mustang embodies a hybrid ideology of the best aspects of the
fun-loving early years, while adding in some of the beefed-up
no-nonsense power and performance of its later years. So, if you
want the best of both worlds come check out this thoroughbred
before its too late.
