Vehicle Description
If you're a collector or the lover of individuality, this is the
time to pay attention. This 1966 Ford Mustang convertible is a
code-76C bench seat car. So more than just being restored in the
factory-correct colors, you're looking at the rarest version of the
'66 Mustang by a wide margin.
If you're going to have a Mustang, it's hard to beat Candy Apple
Red. The paint and bodywork were restored to quite nice standards.
That's why the gaps and alignment are up to factory criteria, and
this icon has a great luster when you take in out in the sunshine.
The newer black roof looks smart when in place, and it coordinates
nicely with the darker elements like the updated grille and the
accents on the factory wheel covers. Add in complete trim and
mirror-like chrome bumpers, and you have a true all-American
cruiser.
The first thing that welcomes you when you open the door are the
plush red crinkle vinyl bucket seats. Not only does the red-on-red
appearance look fantastic with the top down, but also we know you
love that front bench seat. Sure, it has been updated (cup holders
and storage were not a factory package in 1966,) but you'll love
reminding everyone that less than 3,200 code-76C bench seat
convertibles were made this year. Oh yeah, it's a rare treat
considering Ford produced more than double the amount of expensive
luxury fastbacks in '66! And more than just rarity, you'll love how
this updated interior includes the desirable "Pony" package that
adds prancing horses embedded into the seats. The five-dial gauge
panel became standard in 1966, which offers a sportier look and
holds a complete set of readouts. And we know how much you'll love
grabbing the factory three-spoke steering wheel, putting the chrome
shifter into drive, and taking this Mustang out for an all-day
droptop cruise.
Under the hood there's been a recent transplant to Ford's iconic
289 V8. Complete with Holley four-barrel carburetor, you get great
performance and terrific firing power that comes from a solid
investment in an updated V8. But you can tell people anything you
want, because when you lift the hood, it looks nice and original. A
coat of Ford blue paint on the block, matching "Powered by Ford"
valve covers, and a shining air cleaner that includes the 289 decal
- it all looks like it belonged since day one. The V8 moves the
lightweight Mustang enthusiastically through any traffic, making it
a joy to drive. And despite the period-correct styled steel wheels,
they are riding modern 185/70/R14 Bridgestone tires for maximum
comfort.
You already know that first-generation Mustang convertibles are
always in demand. But when you have an opportunity of the rarest
one around, you know this is a deal that you'll regret missing.
