1966 Ford Mustang Restomod

Description

This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe has a glowingly distinct look everywhere, right down to the engine bay. And with upgraded V8 power, a fully upgraded suspension, and a custom/comfy interior, there is a thoughtful level of both style and substance that makes this irresistible.

This coupe establishes itself as something different the moment you see the paint. Brandywine Kandy Metallic is not the kind of paint you get from Ford. It has a beautiful candy-coated glow that comes from a custom and deep finish that you just know was made to be out in the sunshine. And radiance is a key theme of the exterior. That's why you have nicely polished chrome bumpers and clear tri-bar headlights. Even the upgraded 17-inch alloys seem to have a particularly bright nature. But those wheels are also key to the car's other underlying theme. They hold a nice set of modern sporty tires. So this shining pony car is also a true driver.

The black interior is a handsomely upgraded environment. It's all anchored by the seats. There are modern TMI units done in comfortable vinyl. And the suede-like inserts are repeated on the door and dash. Plus, the red stitching on the seats coordinates with the exterior red that returns on the door tops, lower dash, and even the steering wheel. Just like the exterior, the interior has the overall feeling of both added flair and added driver comfort. There are even thoughtfully integrated upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner.

The engine bay is a show-worthy presentation. We love to see it when a restoration takes the time to match the block with the exterior color because it always shows extra care went into the car. Plus, accessories like the bracer bar, radiator, suspension mounts, air grabber, dipstick, and ribbed Mustang valve covers were color-matched for the kind of overall style that will always make you proud to lift the hood. More than just looking great, there's power behind the style. This is an upgraded 302 cubic-inch V8 that has been enhanced with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock hi-rise intake. There are also nice supporting components like an MSD coil, steel braided lines, and a Northern aluminum radiator with an electric fan. And as you look underneath, you'll see why we continue to reference this car's driver-ready attitude. The suspension has been upgraded to an aftermarket independent front end and four-link in the rear. So if you've ever driven a first-gen mustang, you'll feel a sharpness that makes this pony car its own breed. And when you add in a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering power brakes, and front discs, it makes for an excellent all-around cruiser.

This is a nice classic with the right upgrades to be a distinct and sharp driver. So don't let this bright and powerful pony slip away, call today!
