1966 Ford Mustang

Description

This 1966 Ford Mustang is the ideal mix of original style and great cruiser upgrades. It means you get a shining example of a distinct factory color, a premium A/C interior, and enhanced V8 power. So if you're looking for a V8 icon that also likes to stand out, dig into the details on this coupe.

The trim tag tells us this is a factory U-code Tahoe Turquoise, and you can easily love the way it stands out. It was not one of the main colors when new, and many have been switched over to more basic paints like red. So this hue is a true find, and there was even a refresh later in life to ensure it continues to have a good gloss in the sunshine. But even with all this distinction to make it valuable, the car also gets the fundamentals right. Clean lines, good chrome, and complete trim make for a solid classic style. And the styled steel wheels and bright dual exhaust tips remind us that a good Mustang always looks and feels sporty.

The interior aqua coordinates nicely with the exterior paint, and it's joined by a tasteful white. Not only does the trim tag tell us this is factory-correct, but it also indicates the luxury package with the premium pony graphics embossed into the seats. It's a very well-coordinated two-tone, right down to the white floor mats over the aqua carpeting. It makes for an attractive look, and at the same time, the overall driver quality means you have an attractive car that's easy to enjoy. There are even upgrades like an AM/FM digital tuner with cassette and Vintage Air air conditioning. And the bucket seats, center console, and classic three-spoke steering wheel really give you the right vintage driver feeling.

The engine bay has the look of a solid powerhouse. You have Ford's hardy 289 cubic-inch V8, and since these love upgrades, this has a four-barrel carburetor, a Weiand aluminum intake, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. It means you have the right fundamentals in place for you to have some fun with a weekend tune-up/tinkering to unleash the maximum power of this pony. And features like the three-speed automatic transmission and front disc brakes are there to let you enjoy this first-gen Mustang out on the road.

The sale comes complete with build receipts, restoration photos, service manuals, and the owner's manual. Style and upgrades come together on one of America's most beloved coupes. So if you want an icon with distinction, call today!
