Cruising with the top down in this vintage favorite is like a dream come true.
Few cars elicit the same level of excitement as the Ford Mustang. From the brash styling to the in-your-face performance, the iconic pony car appeals to a broach range of people. This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is especially compelling, considering it hasn’t been outfitted with crazy mods or cosmetic changes, sticking closely to its original appearance and feel.
A vintage burgundy coat of paint doesn’t have any large flaws, plus it shines up to a nice mirror-like finish. All the factory badging and trim pieces are in place, plus the chrome bumpers are in excellent condition. This car is turn-key and ready to be parked at the next show. A factory white power convertible top is in good repair, making it easy to enjoy some open-air freedom while cruising around.
The black interior is on full display with the top open, and thankfully it looks every bit as good as the exterior. You might think that immaculate black vinyl was recently installed, but the seller says it’s original. The bench seat is a rare option. All the factory gauges and controls are intact, including the OE AM pushbutton radio and 8-track.
Pop the hood to reveal the stock 289ci V8 which pulls strong in the city and for highway passing. It works with a Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and comes with MasterGuide power assisted steering, making it so anyone can easily drive this car.
Everyone knows and loves the Ford Mustang, which originally debuted in 1964 at the World’s Fair in New York and is still in production today. Ford changed up a few things for 1966, including outfitting the car with a new grille, using the iconic tri-bar logo behind the horse on the quarter panels, and putting a five-gauge cluster in the interior. These and other stylistic tweaks make the ’66 Mustang highly collectible, with prices promising to continually increase. This vehicle is being offered for sale through Ellingson Motorcars.
