For Sale: 1966 Ford Mustang in Mesa, Arizona

There is a reason that the Mustang has been one of, if not the most popular muscle car ever made. In April of 1964, the Blue Oval's pony car caught lightning in a bottle and shot out of the gate like Secretariat on steroids. One look at this 1966 Ford Mustang coupe, fully repainted in head-turning Signal Flare Red, and it's easy to see why this car has been beloved by millions. This car comes with some GT inspiration, with its rocker panel pinstripe, pass-through dual exhaust rear valance, and GT-style gas cap, to give it a little more attitude than when it rolled off the assembly line.

Inside, we find a clean black vinyl interior featuring dual bucket seats separated by an aftermarket drop-in center console that offers additional storage along with a set of cup holders for added convenience. A three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel sits just ahead of a five-pod gauge cluster, with a big center-mounted 140 mph speedometer, flanked by a pair of auxiliary gauges on either side. An aftermarket column-mounted 8,000 rpm tachometer makes ripping off the perfect 1-2 shift a skill that can be practiced until it becomes seamless. A retro-style AM/FM/AUX stereo comes complete with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for a modern approach to music without interrupting the classic look of this Mustang's interior.

Under the hood, we find a clean engine bay featuring a 289 cubic-inch V-8 engine. Topped with a single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor that feeds into a matching Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold. Mustang valve covers add just enough advertisement, while stock-style exhaust manifolds feed into a dual-exhaust before exiting through a set of sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers. Power is routed through a tried-and-true Borg Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission before being sent out to an eight-inch rear end.
