1966 Ford Mustang

Details

This 1966 Ford Mustang base model is equipped with a 200ci inline six-cylinder engine and backed by a three-speed manual transmission that sends power through an eight-inch differential to the rear wheels. This unrestored example still wears its original burgundy paint, as noted by the owner, and is complemented by a black vinyl top. The owner also notes that the interior is the original red vinyl upholstery. The car features a heater, hubcaps, Ford radio, a five gauge dash, retractable rear-quarter windows, and other standard features included in this fine example of the most modest trim level of Mustang. The odometer shows 94,003 miles, but the true mileage of the vehicle is unknown. The vehicle is one family owned since 1966, when the car was purchased by the current owners grandfather. It has spent time in New York and now resides in Virginia.

The third-party photos and inspection attest to the fine condition the vehicle has been preserved in. The owner notes that the car has been garage kept for almost thirty years. The inspection report does show minor dents on the rear trunk of the car, surface rust on the underside, aging shock bushings, a reverse light that is not functioning, and some scratches that are consistent with the mileage and age of the vehicle. The interior shows light wear. Mechanically the car operates as it should. Overall the car is a well-preserved example of the early Mustang to enjoy as is or to restore completely. The sale includes the original sales receipt, records, spare parts, and one set of keys.

This Mustang is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Charlottesville, VA.

About the model

The first generation Ford Mustang was built in one of three body styles; hardtop (notchback), fastback, or convertible. The Ford Mustang was first launched as an unofficial 1964-1/2 model. These "1964-1/2" Mustangs were available with an inline six, a 260 cubic inch V8, or the 289 cubic inch V8. Upon the 1965 Mustang's official introduction, new engines became available. Depending on the engine used, these cars were available with a 3-speed manual, a 4-speed manual, or a 3-speed automatic transmission, all of which sent drive to the rear wheels. For the 1967 model year, Ford updated the Mustang, which resulted in the 1967-1968 First Generation Ford Mustang.
