1966 Ford Mustang

Description

Well-equipped and featuring a great look that skillfully splits the difference between stock and custom, this 1966 Ford Mustang is one rare find that could easily pull double duty as a worthy competitor on the local show circuit while faithfully serving as a daily driver. Better still, it comes complete with build receipts and maintenance records to document both its impressive array of upgrades and the exacting care it's received.

Clad in a two-tone paint scheme featuring colors borrowed from Ford's F-150 pickup - Gem Green Metallic on its body with Argent on its scooped hood - this Pony has benefitted from planning that leaves it very street-ready and capable with a low-slung look, as it's 2" below stock in front and 1" below in back. The verdant shade is a great choice for a vintage Mustang like this, as it's only a stone's throw from the highland green Ford offered during this period and carries an impressive shine. This '66's vitality is amplified by chrome trim and bright work that's looking its best, showing little evidence of exposure to the elements, as well as front and back bumpers bearing very clean chrome and sitting level. In back, you'll see another distinct Mustang feature that's also in good order - the pair of chrome dual exhaust tips that peer out just the right distance from the rear valance.

Featuring black vinyl and cloth upholstery that's showing little to no wear, the interior is a great mix of stock and aftermarket components. A pair of very detailed and comfortable TMI bucket seats sit up front, and a similarly ornate bench seat resides in back to replace their stock counterparts, with the buckets featuring heavy bolsters to provide improved support while cornering. Just below the seating, a layer of Dynamat is just below the new black carpeting, a welcome feature that serves to minimize both road noise and radiant heat. The doors have been refurbished with fresh TMI panels and stainless steel handles. A similarly new custom Mustang steering wheel beckons you to grab hold and get out on the road, while just a little farther back, a column-mounted rally pack sits just in front of the restored dash area that's sporting a full assortment of analog gauges with green illumination, and a new dash pad. In the trunk area in back, a TMI kit adds a great finished appearance, with its four custom walls surrounding a floor that's lined with looped carpeting.

A 289 cubic inch V8 sits underneath the argent hood. It's hardly an accident that there are so many 289s on the road, as their durability is well-documented and this one, bored .30 over and carrying an Edelbrock Performer cam to give it some added steam, is in great form, starting right up and offering just the spirited quickness you'd want in a performance-centric classic like this one, while sounding very impressive as it exhales out the JBA exhaust and headers. Further adding to the outstanding streetability of this vintage Mustang, that small block is bolted to a T-5 5 speed overdrive transmission for low-RPMs on the highway, and a Holley Sniper EFI system sits in place of the original carburetor for greatly enhanced all-weather reliability. This very well-appointed Ford icon sits on a set of 17" Scott Drake alloy wheels outfitted with BF Goodrich G-Force radials.

If you're looking for a muscle car classic that not only provides exhilarating performance, but also the street-readiness you'd want in a daily driver, you have to check out this 1966 Mustang. Call today!
