This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe is finished in dark grey metallic with
a black vinyl roof and dark grey leather interior with light grey
inserts, a color combination that is understated, sophisticated,
and unlike the red and white examples that dominate every show
field. The 289 cubic inch V8 is backed by the three-speed automatic
with power brakes, and Cobra wheels give the exterior a
period-correct performance look that suits the dark grey paint
well. A fitted Mustang cover tells you how this car has been kept,
and winter garage storage confirms it.
Ford introduced the 289 in 1964 and it became the engine that
defined the early Mustang's performance reputation. By 1966 it was
available in two-barrel and four-barrel configurations, and in
either form it earned a reputation for being dependable, easy to
maintain, and highly responsive to modification. 1966 was also the
first year of federally mandated safety standards, making every
Mustang built that year the first to include front and rear
seatbelts, a padded instrument panel, emergency flashers, and
electric wipers as standard equipment.
The interior is clean throughout with black carpet running the
cabin and a retro-style stereo fitted in the dash that gives you
modern audio without ruining the period feel of the cockpit. The
dark grey leather with light grey inserts is a two-tone combination
that photographs well and looks even better in person, giving the
cabin a level of visual interest that a single-color interior never
quite achieves.
A dark grey first-generation Mustang coupe stored properly in
winters with a fitted cover and a sorted V8 under the hood is the
kind of car that appeals to buyers who have looked past the obvious
choices and found something with more personality. These are only
going in one direction in terms of value, and this one is as well
presented as they come.
