Lot 9182: 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible

Based on Classic.com market data, a fully restored 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible would be valued in the $75,000-$85,000 range.

Here’s how I arrived at this estimate:

Current Market Data:

• Recent sales of original/hi-original ‘66 Mustang Convertibles: $35,000-$40,000
• Current listings range: $29,900-$71,998
• The highest-quality original examples are listed around $68,000-$72,000

Restoration Premium: A full professional restoration typically adds 10-20% over even the best original condition vehicles. Since the top original examples are asking $68k-$72k, a properly restored example would command $75k-$85k.

Why This Range:

• 1966 is the final year of the first-generation Mustang, making these particularly desirable
• Convertible body style carries a premium over coupes
• V8/automatic is the most popular drivetrain combination
• Fully restored examples eliminate the maintenance needs and cosmetic issues found in driver-quality cars
