1966 Ford Mustang Convertible

Description

This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is an absolute icon of the American road that gives you the ultimate wind-in-your-hair experience. It only gets better on a car that has its correct color combo, a touch of GT-style flair, and proper V8 power under the hood.

Red is a legendary color for Mustangs and the trim tag tells us this is a factory Candyapple drop-top. This car was restored about half way through its life thus far, and that gives it the ideal style. So the red retains a good gloss while remaining nothing too ornamental to keep you from enjoying this one out on the road. More than just the color, the allure in this one is about its total package. There are some nice GT-style details like the fog lights and dual exhaust tips through the rear valance that gives it a sporty flair. The full trim is complete, the styled steel wheels look sporty, and the wraparound chrome bumpers give this a nice classic American appearance. And speaking of pure Americana, when the roof is in place, it has the bright white look against the red to have the same appeal as a Coca-Cola bottle.

If you like the way the roof looks against the red, then the parchment interior will hold a similar color combo appeal. Opening this one up is basically as easy as a flip of the power top switch. And you're going to want to show this off to the world because you have the desirable premium "Pony" package upholstery. The upholstery was done at the time of the restoration, and you can also tell they have taken care of other fundamentals like the carpeting, door panels, and dash pad. The result is a nice place to spend some time. They even gave you a modern armrest center console with cup holders that matches the interior style.

This is a C-code car, and so it's great to see a 289 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. The engine bay looks nice and well maintained, including a touch of flair with the bold blue block, bright valve covers, and a matching air topper. The V8 fires up nicely to signal it has been a well-respected classic, and the dual exhaust has a nice hint of tune. This was made for you to enjoy, and that's why there are nice driving features, like the three-speed automatic transmission, modern Michelin tires, and upgraded front disc brakes.

Complete with owner's manual, this pony car convertible is ready to cruise right now. But the only way you get to hit the road tomorrow is if you call today!
