Vehicle Detail

I purchased this car about 8 years ago as a father daughter(s) project. We had a lot of fun bringing this car back to life but it’s time to move on. The only thing we did that was not consistent with the factory original is the headrests. However, I do supply replacement seat covers to bring the seats back to original. I have extra parts that I never installed like replacement rear lenses and chrome, shoulder seat belt assembly, and a power brakes unit. The car has its original black and yellow license plates I am the second owner.

See below: Mustang's Standard 200ci Six - Sprint 200 A Special Six-Cylinder For A Special Springtime 1966 Sale From the June, 2005 issue of Mustang Monthly By Jim Smart When Ford introduced the Mustang on April 17, 1964, it had no idea what a phenomenal sales success the new nameplate would be. Original projections were for 100,000 units the first year. More than 600,000 were sold. The Mustang story continues to wow historians and enthusiasts today. With sales outstripping production capacity at the time, Ford had a serious but enviable problem: how to meet production demand without investing in greater manufacturing capacity. As you might imagine, everyone wanted a Mustang in the mid-'60s. Most buyers wanted the 289 V-8. The challenge for Ford dealers was showing potential buyers the V-8 Mustang, but selling the more plentiful six. For some salesmen, the task was easy. Many buyers were happy with the sporty persona of the Mustang combined with the economy of a Falcon. But many also wanted the 289. As the '65 model year ended, Ford realized it had a manufacturing and sales dilemma. How could it maintain Mustang's high sales figures without losing buyers to other brands that could give them a V-8? Because Ford knew it would never be able to meet the demand for V-8 Mustangs, it had to find a way to make the six-cylinder Mustang more appealing. So "Six and the Single Girl" was born, with Ford, determined to keep Mustang sales high, creating a springtime sales promotion designed to sell a lot of cars. It would be twofold: great pricing on six-cylinder Mustangs, along with a special-edition six-cylinder called the Sprint 200. An integral part of the Millionth Mustang Celebration, the '66 Sprint 200 Mustang was a rather clever combination of luxury appointments and the economy of a six-cylinder engine. For just under $2,400, you could drive off your Ford dealer's lot with a peppy, striking six-cylinder Mustang with a lot of nice appointments. The Sprint 200 was classy and elegant without being expensive. For just $39.63 over the base sticker price of $2,398.43, you got the Sprint 200 Option Group, which consisted of the Mustang's standard 200ci six, body side accent stripes, chrome air cleaner with Sprint 200 air-cleaner decal, wire-style wheel covers, and a center console.

The car comes with the original stainless steel spoked hub caps that were issued from the factory for the Sprint 200 package. I am the the third owner. The second owner never registered the car. I have the bill of sale and paper work for the vehicle from Paul Swanson Ford in Los Gatos where the car sold for $2256.00, with a 1960 Ford Falcon trade in worth $200.00. The car was built in the San Jose Ford factory. I also have the original Mustang keys.On Sep-05-11 at 12:35:57 PDT, seller added the following information: Below is a link to additional pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67199281@N03/
