The 1966 Ford Mustang stands as the definitive exclamation point on
the pony car's introductory era. While the '64� gave the world a
new category, the 1966 model refined it into an American icon. This
particular example, finished with a thoughtful selection of factory
options, represents the perfect balance between a spirited cruiser
and powered pony car.
Under the hood sits a 289 cubic inch V-8, paired with a two-barrel
carburetor mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The inclusion
of power steering and power brakes transforms the handling from a
workout into a leisure activity, making it remarkably approachable
even by modern standards.
Visually, this Mustang captures the essence of a Pony Car
perfectly. The red exterior is an oustanding paint job that
demonstrates to those who walk up to it the sheer quality of this
car's restoration. It sits proudly on Styled Steel wheels wrapped
in classic white wall tires, a combination that adds a muscular yet
sophisticated stance. The exterior trim is elevated by wide rocker
moldings that elongate the car's profile, while front and rear
bumper guards provide a touch of structural elegance. Under the
hood, the aesthetic continues with finned Mustang valve covers and
a matching air cleaner, giving the engine bay a polished,
high-performance look that demands the hood be left open at car
shows.
The interior of this Mustang truly matches the quality of the
exterior, featuring the highly coveted Deluxe Pony interior. This
package is famous for the embossed galloping horses across the
seatbacks of the front bucket seats. The interior is a nostalgic
blend of woodgrain accents and molded door panels. For
entertainment, the period-correct pushbutton radio remains the
centerpiece of the dash, offering a tactile connection to 1966.
