Ford had no problem selling their 289 cid V8 Mustangs. In fact, the cars were so popular dealers couldnt keep them on their lots. Of course, this resulted in more than a few disappointed customers. How to remedy the problem? Ford executives got creative. One car that was not selling that well was Fords 6-cylinder Mustang. The 200 cid powered inline-6 pony was in dire need of a kick start, and Ford had just the plan. Enter the Sprint 200, a.k.a. the Springtime Sprint. This limited-edition1966 Ford Mustang, which was introduced as part of a springtime sales promotion, consisted of an inline-6 cylinder Mustang equipped with a chrome air cleaner, special Sprint 200 air-cleaner decal, and painted side accent stripes. Fords demographic for the Sprint 200 was women. As such, the marketing tagline, Six and the Single Girl, was used to promote 6-cylinder Mustangs, including the special edition Sprint 200. Two versions of the Sprint 200 were available; an A Package and a B Package. The A Package featured a manual transmission, where the B package featured an automatic. Both Sprint packages came with deluxe wire-style hubcap wheel covers, a side accent paint stripe (with quarter trim delete) which matched the cars interior color, and a center console with courtesy lights. Of note, Sprint 200s did not feature 3-Prong Tri-bar side moldings, like those found on other 1966 Mustangs. In all, the Sprint 200 was available in three body styles: Coupe, Convertible, and Fastback. The convertible option was the last to become available. It entered the market in March of 1966. That said, Fastback models are some of the rarest models. In addition, the majority of cars sold, which were coupes, featured the B Package with a C4 Cruise-O-Matic transmission. As for interior options, buyers were able to choose from either Standard or Deluxe Pony Interiors, with Standard being the most popular option. The Sprint 200s were also equipped with Fords Safety Equipment group, something that was standard on most 1966 Mustangs. According to reports, all three Ford plants (Dearborn, Metuchen, and San Jose) produced Sprint 200 Mustangs. Pricing of the 1966 Sprint 200 A package was set at $39.63 over the base 6-cylinder suggested retail price ($2,398.43 for coupe). The B Package with automatic transmission cost $163.40 more than the base vehicle. In the end, the Sprint 200 package was a lucrative deal for buyers looking to purchase a well equipped Ford Mustang. It might not have been a V8, but the car was a sure deal for buyers. Even better, the car truly did become a special limited-edition Ford Mustang in time. These days, Sprint 200 Mustangs are widely discussed by Ford Mustang enthusiasts and historians. 422,416 Standard coupes were produced out of 607,568 Mustangs built in 1966.
