Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to present this 1966 Ford
Mustang 2+2 Fastback, a performance-built example of one of the
most recognizable and desirable body styles from the original
Mustang era. Finished in a vivid orange exterior with black
lower-body stripes, this Mustang combines unmistakable mid-1960s
styling with a carefully selected collection of drivetrain
upgrades.
The exterior retains the defining features that make the 2+2
Fastback so distinctive, including its sweeping roofline, recessed
rear glass, sculpted quarter panels, and functional-looking rear
quarter louvers. The bright orange finish is accented by black
rocker stripes, polished rocker moldings, chrome bumpers, dual
exhaust outlets, and traditional Mustang badging.
Up front, the car features a GT-style grille with integrated fog
lights and the signature running-horse emblem. A 289 badge remains
mounted on the front fender, and the engine is presented with a
matching 289-style air-cleaner assembly. These pieces provide a
period appearance, although the drivetrain is represented as a
built 302ci combination.
Styled steel wheels with black centers and polished outer rims
reinforce the Mustang's vintage performance character. They are
wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, giving the car a
period-correct muscle-car appearance while providing more modern
radial-tire road manners.
Under the hood is a built 302 cubic-inch Ford V8 producing
approximately 420 horsepower. The engine is equipped with Edelbrock
Performer aluminum cylinder heads and a matching Edelbrock aluminum
intake manifold. A Holley 650 CFM carburetor handles fuel delivery,
while an MSD electronic ignition system provides a stronger and
more reliable spark.
The engine compartment retains a traditional Ford appearance with a
red 289-style air cleaner, polished valve covers, red ignition
wiring, and a black-painted engine bay. Export-style shock-tower
bracing and a polished front support brace add rigidity while
contributing to the purposeful presentation.
Full-length stainless-steel headers feed a 2.5-inch dual-exhaust
system with Flowmaster mufflers. This combination gives the Mustang
the deep, aggressive exhaust note expected from a built small-block
Ford while allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently.
Power is transferred through a desirable Ford Toploader four-speed
manual transmission. The floor-mounted shifter is positioned within
the full-length factory-style center console, creating the direct
and mechanical driving experience enthusiasts expect from an early
Mustang.
A heavy-duty Currie 9-inch Ford rear end provides the strength
needed for the upgraded engine, while the multi-leaf rear
suspension offers a durable and proven foundation. The underhood
identification plate indicates a factory four-speed configuration,
further complementing the car's performance-oriented character.
Inside, the Mustang features a clean black interior with front
bucket seats, matching rear seating, black door panels, carpeting,
and a full-length center console. The brushed trim running through
the console adds contrast and preserves the classic 1960s cockpit
appearance.
A wood-rim three-spoke steering wheel provides a period-inspired
focal point for the cabin. Instrumentation includes the
factory-style horizontal speedometer, a centrally mounted SunPro
tachometer, and an auxiliary oil-pressure gauge mounted beneath the
dash. Toggle switches positioned below the instrument panel add to
the purposeful, driver-focused presentation.
The trunk compartment is neatly finished with fitted black
carpeting, providing a cleaner and more complete appearance than
the exposed painted metal found in many early Mustangs.
This 1966 Mustang offers the highly desirable Fastback body style
with the performance equipment enthusiasts want: a built 302 V8,
four-speed manual transmission, Currie 9-inch rear end, aluminum
cylinder heads, upgraded ignition, long-tube headers, and
Flowmaster exhaust.
With its bright orange finish, black striping, GT-style exterior
details, styled steel wheels, black bucket-seat interior, and
strong small-block drivetrain, this Mustang delivers an excellent
combination of classic appearance, vintage driving character, and
upgraded street performance.
