THE 1966 MUSTANG The Mustang was introduced at the 1965 New York World's Fair, Mustang Mania instantly swept the country, and a new automotive market segment was created. The Mustang was a compact, tight, clean package weighing in at a modest 2,550 pounds - a departure from the ever-enlarging American cars of the day. The classic long-hood short-rear-deck combined with a forward-leaning grille, elegant blade bumpers, sculptured body sides, fully exposed wheel openings and restrained use of bright trim gave the car a unique look that belied its affordability. Its looks were backed up with power. Options included automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, styled chrome wheels and air conditioning. Not surprisingly, the entry-level modes were a minority of the production. To say that the first Mustang was a success is an understatement. Following its introduction, the Mustang was on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. A week before introduction, Ford ran ads with the air times for the first television commercials, which all three networks broadcasted simultaneously. Mustang was selected as the Official Pace Car for the 1964 Indianapolis 500, and more than 22,000 orders were taken the first day. By its first anniversary, over 418,000 Mustangs had been sold, breaking the all-time record for first year sales of a new nameplate. By mid-1966, Mustang passed the one-million sales mark. The original platform was used, with numerous modifications, up to 1973. On the track, the Mustang name was quickly establishing itself in many motorsports arenas. In 1965, Mustang assumed the role as Ford's rally car. Carroll Shelby, famed builder of the Cobra, created race-ready cars for SCCA's production class B competition against the likes of Chevrolet's Corvette and the Jaguar E-Type. Shelby's goal was accomplished when the GT 350 took the B-Production Championship from Corvette. Shelby Mustangs were also successful in the world of drag racing. Ford campaigned several highly modified A/FX altered Mustangs equipped with 427 'Cammer' motors in National Hot Rod Association drag racing events. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF A RESTORED 1966 FORD MUSTANG! THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS BEAUTIFUL 1966 MUSTANG THAT WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF DRIVING ENJOYMENT AND PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP. See my 438 100% feedback rating BID WITH CONFIDENCE! NO DISAPPOINTMENTS! READY TO DRIVE! BID TO WIN! Vehicle Condition: THIS 1966 MUSTANG HAS BEEN LOVINGLY CARED FOR SINCE NEW. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, AND IS IN EXCELLENT COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL CONDITION THROUGHOUT. THIS MUSTANG IS A REAL PLEASURE TO DRIVE. THE V-8 ENGINE PROVIDES SMOOTH AND POWERFUL ACCELERATION AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PROPERLY. This Mustang is nearly 46 years old, so some signs of age are to be expected! The new paint job is spectacular! There are no chips or touch-ups that I could fine. The exterior chrome is all new, so this Mustang looks great! There is a ¼” rock chip in the windshield, but the owner is looking into having the spot repaired before delivery. There is a slight indentation to the front valance on the passenger side, but it’s barely noticeable and would be very easy to straighten. The interior is in great condition, as much of it is brand new! The padded dash is original and does have some cracks. However, it has been covered with a very nice cover. The tan steering wheel is original and is covered with an older laced on cover. The seat covers, door panels, carpet, sill plates, etc is all brand new! The radio is currently not hooked up to any speakers. The rubber crankcase breather hose that shows as missing in the photos has been installed. This car is much much nicer than nearly all the Mustangs you will see on the street, but it is not concours. To the best of my knowledge, this Mustang needs nothing mechanically. I did notice that the heater fan was noisy and this is being looked into. Other than items mentioned above, the undercarriage was left as is. This is a very nice correct 1966 California Mustang. This Mustang just received a complete tune up and oil change and is ready to be enjoyed today!
