For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

Vehicle Description

1966 Ford Mustang GT Hardtop

"If you thought we couldn't improve on a winner, try Mustang '66! For '66, we did the nicest thing we could think of, we changed the Mustang very carefully. There's smart new ornamentation all around. Also new, (and standard), are a 5 dial instrument cluster, 14-inch low profile tires and full wheel covers. But the standard features that give the Mustang so much of its potent charm are all here. Just mention Mustang and you've set off a lively conversation. All about fun, excitement, going places, doing things. Proof? Over 418,000 on the road in Mustang's first year, an all time record!" From the 1966 brochure.

For consignment, a 1966 Ford Mustang GT hardtop with a title verified 65,059 actual miles, owned by our consignor for 10 years and restored by Performance Motors of Hanover, PA. While there are seven external clues, 6 under the hood clues, 4 interior clues, 4 undercarriage clues, and 1 trunk clue to determining a real GT, in this case, we were unable to verify its authenticity, a common discussion and source of debate in the classic Mustang community.

Exterior
Two stage Vintage Burgundy covers this car like a deep vat of France's finest wine and is accented by the GT white rocker stripe that envelops the Mustang emblem on the front quarter, just under the GT badge. In front, inboard fog lights connect to the coral via a GT chrome bar and are bisected by a horizontal trim piece of their own, while in back the latch panel is painted black behind the iconic three piece tail lights. Dual exhaust gets a gilded exit via chrome rings of the valance in a spectacular feature that is complemented by the round reverse lights on the same panel. Also in back, the GT gas cap beyond the smooth trunk lid with excellent gapping. 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels hold staggered size tires and our consignor is including Mustang GT hubcaps with the car. The paint and metalwork are fantastic and we could not find any exterior imperfections.

Interior
Super fine black door panels included a column stitched insert, contoured armrest, chrome framed courtesy light, and pistol grip door release handles as part of the luxury interior package. Low back black vinyl bucket seats are adorned with embossed horses on the upper and that carries over the back bench and it's all in immaculate condition. The wood rimmed steering wheel wears sporty spokes and leads to the instrument cluster where woodgrain backing is also a luxury interior feature and it surrounds the Rally Pack gauge cluster that includes a tachometer and clock flanking the embedded speedometer and smaller system gauges. An AM radio, (converted to AM/FM), is augmented with an outboard 8-track player, currently featuring Glen Campbell. In front of Glen we find a Hurst shifter, white knobbed and rising from the floor that's dressed in black loop carpet and Mustang branded rubber mats. A modern center console will hold your drinks and hidden gems in the lidded compartment and our black headliner is in excellent condition. The trunk is show worthy too, with a period vinyl plaid mat and spare tire with knock off hubcap.

Drivetrain
Yep, pop that hood at car shows because the bay is clean and shiny and housing a 289ci V8 with 225 horsepower and drinking fuel via a 4-barrel carburetor. A Toploader 4-speed manual sends power to the Ford 8" rear with conventional 3.00 gearing. Up front are disc brakes and in the back, drums.

Undercarriage
Very clean underneath with no surface rust to speak of and no visible fluid leaks, only some grease sling from the U-joint at the transmission. The dual exhaust flows through stock style mufflers before exiting through the rear valance. Suspension consists of coil springs in front and leaf springs in back.

Drive-Ability
The near pristine machine fires up and we row the Hurst into first gear and roll the '66 onto the loop where it provides good acceleration, great exhaust tones, and straight tracking via 60's series tires. The plethora of gauges are all registering and this well sorted car scores 100 on the functionality test and we trot this showpiece back to the stable. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

On the cover of "A Satisfied Mind" a solemn Glen Campbell is perched on the back of a horse, a mustang if you will, in this case a carousel ride. He sings, "The wealthiest person is a pauper at times, compared to the man with a satisfied mind.". Well, how satisfied would your mind be if this horse, a 1966 Mustang, was your ride to perch on? You can't buy back your youth, he continues, and we're reminded that each day as happy customers fulfill their lifelong dream of owning the car they've always wanted. Is your stable missing a Mustang? You might want to lasso this one quick!
