Vehicle Description
You don't even have to be a pony fan to take notice of this one.
After all, there's just something instantly alluring about a 1966
Ford Mustang GT fastback that has the unmistakable shine that comes
from a serious investment. And once you look beyond the paint,
you'll see an upgraded interior, five-speed manual, four-wheel
discs, and a performance-built 351 V8. So yes, this car is just as
cool as its first impression.
The customization of this Mustang is apparent from every angle, but
it never loses its vintage feeling. It starts with a respray of the
correct Frost Silver. You know the factory could never get it
looking this good. Instead, the paint benefits from a deep luster
that comes from an investment in modern clearcoat, and a
professional hand applying it. So now this sliver fastback truly
looks like precious metal in the sunshine. You can tell the chrome
bumpers were upgraded, too, to keep up with the clearcoat shine.
The upgraded 17-inch Halibrand-style wheels are also matched to
this terrific paint and brightwork. And just in case you didn't
pick up on the special features, the blacked-out tail panel has a
cool gas cap and advertises the extra muscle of the motor. But even
without these upgrades, you want this car because it's an iconic
Mustang fastback. We also know you love all the correct GT touches
like the fog lights in the grille, triple rocker stripe, and
trumpeted dual exhaust coming out of the rear valance. See what we
mean about great upgrades AND vintage style in one terrific
package?!
The same dual classic/modern personality happens on the inside. If
all you did was peek your head in to look at the seats, you'd see a
premium interior with a center console and a great "Pony" back on
the seats. But the moment that you side down in the driver's
bucket, you instantly can tell there has been a ton invested in
upgrades. You're facing plenty of comfortable features like a
modern AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input, upgraded speakers, power
windows, power steering, and provisions for air conditioning. Plus,
you can instantly tell there is some serious performance here, too,
with the three-spoke wood and chrome steering wheel, full AutoMeter
gauge package, TCP billet pedals, and the fire extinguisher mounted
on the center console. Also, did you spot the extra gear in the
shift pattern yet?
When you look under the hood, you see that the paint is not the
only thing that has a terrific shine. This V8 radiates power with
the presence of the dual air topper, Pulleys, aluminum radiator,
and Ford Motorsports valve covers. More than just look great, these
help the get the most out of the upgraded 351 cubic-inch crate
engine. While having the Windsor motor filling the engine bay of
this early Mustang is already a serious power upgrade, the custom
build didn't stop there. It features go-fast goodies like a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Davis
United performance distributor, and headers that feed the rumbling
X-pipe dual exhaust. Best of all, the upgraded T5 five-speed manual
transmission gives you full control over the enhanced V8 and its
thunderous soundtrack. In fact, this custom Mustang is all about
control. That's why you have plenty of suspension enhancements,
including a thick sway bar up front, Currie 9-inch rear end, and
four-wheel disc brakes.
We can go over all the details of this build (including the
receipts, maintenance records, and dyno sheet,) or you can also
read about it in its 2003 Mustang and Ford magazine story. But
either way, you already this is one of the coolest fastbacks
around, and it could all be yours tomorrow if you call today!
