Vehicle Description
INCREDIBLE condition and very original 1966 T5 Mustang 2DR Hardtop
Coupe finished in Vintage Burgundy Metallic over Black Vinyl Bucket
Seat interior and equipped with the original 200 CID 3.3L Straight
6 engine and 3spd manual transmission with floor shift. This car is
in absolute show quality fully restored condition inside, outside,
and underneath and is an extremely original example that presents
like a very true to original showroom condition collector quality
classic pony car. The body and underbody look to be very original
and do NOT look like a car that was remade from an old rust bucket
or something filled with body filler. The car was represented to us
as original mileage and only a mildly restored original rust free
body and drive train. Obviously there is no real way to verify the
mileage is original, but the car definitely looks the part. The
engine looks to be original and correct as well, however in a 1966
Mustang there is no such thing as a "numbers matching" engine as
the cars did not have the VIN stamped on the engine. The car runs
and drives absolutely incredible with surprisingly good power from
the "Thriftpower" 200 Cubic Inch 3.3L straight six. The car starts
right up and idles perfectly, even in cold temperatures with no
issues to be disclosed and is whisper quiet, making a nice muscle
car growl under full acceleration like you would not expect from a
6cyl car. The paint is in show quality condition with only very few
minor miniscule imperfections to be found. The Black Vinyl Bucket
interior is in amazing restored condition and very true to original
as well with only a few non-original upgrades including an updated
digital 2-shaft radio meant to look like the original, speakers in
the rear parcel shelf, and a Classic Cruiser center console with
arm rest, cupholders, and storage compartment. The panel gaps, door
seals, window operation, and all little details of the car are
excellent as are the lower body panels, bumpers, trim, etc. The
door handles, mirrors, and a few chrome trims show a bit of patina
from age but nothing that you would notice during a walkaround of
the car. All glass and front and rear window trim shows very nice
as you can see from the photos. If you are looking for an amazing
condition and honest 66 Mustang at a great price, this is probably
the best example you will find for sale anywhere! Please be sure to
