1966 Ford Mustang

The 1966 Ford Mustang stands as the definitive exclamation point on the pony car's introductory era. While the '64½ gave the world a new category, the 1966 model refined it into an American icon. This particular example, finished with a thoughtful selection of factory options, represents the perfect balance between a spirited cruiser and powered pony car. Under the hood sits a 289 cubic inch V-8, paired with a two-barrel carburetor mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The inclusion of power steering and power brakes transforms the handling from a workout into a leisure activity, making it remarkably approachable even by modern standards. Visually, this Mustang captures the essence of a Pony Car perfectly. The red exterior is an oustanding paint job that demonstrates to those who walk up to it the sheer quality of this car's restoration. It sits proudly on Styled Steel wheels wrapped in classic white wall tires, a combination that adds a muscular yet sophisticated stance. The exterior trim is elevated by wide rocker moldings that elongate the car's profile, while front and rear bumper guards provide a touch of structural elegance. Under the hood, the aesthetic continues with finned Mustang valve covers and a matching air cleaner, giving the engine bay a polished, high-performance look that demands the hood be left open at car shows. The interior of this Mustang truly matches the quality of the exterior, featuring the highly coveted Deluxe Pony interior. This package is famous for the embossed galloping horses across the seatbacks of the front bucket seats. The interior is a nostalgic blend of woodgrain accents and molded door panels. For entertainment, the period-correct pushbutton radio remains the centerpiece of the dash, offering a tactile connection to 1966. Unless stated otherwise, mileage shown on odometer is exempt and uknown if original. ----...
