First-generation Mustangs with rock-solid bones and real horsepower upgrades are getting harder to find.

Project Overview & Scope
The car is currently partially disassembled, having been prepped for paint and bodywork. Crucially, all of the parts come included with the sale, giving the next owner an organized head start rather than chasing down missing trim and hardware. It comes with a clean title and an exceptionally solid structural shell, making it the ideal blank canvas to finish in your choice of paint and spec.

Upgraded 351 Windsor V8 Performance Powertrain
While born as an economical inline-six coupe, the car has received a major powertrain upgrade in the form of a stout small-block Ford V8:

Engine Block: 351ci Windsor V8 carrying casting date 5K30 (October 30, 1975) and casting code D4AE-6015-AA.

Top-End Upgrades: Fitted with premium Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum cylinder heads alongside additional performance parts.

Condition: The engine turns freely and provides a high-flowing, race-proven foundation ready for final plumbing, wiring, and sorting.

Body, Structure & Sheet Metal
Having spent its life as a West Coast car, the body and undercarriage remain remarkably solid throughout, avoiding the severe rust issues that plague typical project-grade first-gen ponies. The panels line up well, providing a strong structural foundation for prep and finish.

Whether you want to lay down a fresh respray in its factory Tahoe Turquoise or build an aggressive, high-revving track/street monster, this 1966 Mustang coupe offers great upside and solid bones with all the parts on hand.
