Description:
1966 Ford Mustang Convertible Having only recently been introduced to the public, the first gen Mustangs seem to have changes made to design aspects nearly every year, some drastic, others subtle. From 1965 to 1966, a few subtle exterior items changed included the door scoops which were done with a 3 bar, black and chrome variant in 1966, the vertical bar through the running horse on the grille was gone in 1966 and the grille itself went from honeycomb design to vertical and horizontal bars, and back up lights were standard for 1966 and optional for 1965, so if you don\'t see them chances are it\'s a 1965. For consignment, a 1966 Ford Mustang convertible, driven just 500 miles since a total restoration was done to showroom specifications according to our consignor, and the restorer managed a body shop at a Ford dealership, so you know specs were checked. Photos of the restoration will accompany this car. Exterior This hue of sky blue is known as Acadian Blue and it\'s here in two stage form. The familiar face of this classic features the new grille for 1966 and the horse in the corral above a nicely chromed front fender with lower supports that waterfall down on a body colored lower fascia. The tell tale door scoops or faux quarter panel vents are affixed at the termination of the body crease detail and the tail end trails off with the smooth, short panels of the rear fenders. Looking at the back reveals an instantly recognizable tail which cannot be confused for any other classic. The triple tail lights, the center gas cap, the body colored valance, and another good showing of a chrome bumper means Mustang, pure and simple. Our wheels here are 14-inch with wire wheel covers and faux knockoffs wearing tires with an early 2021 production date. Up top we have a white canvas top with clear plastic window in great condition and with the top down, a medium blue tonneau cover finishes the appearance and is also in great condition. All chrome and metal work is in fantastic condition. Imperfections include some apparent panel gap alignment issues and some damaged paint in one of those gaps. Interior Vinyl clad door cards contrast dark blue and light blue, showing some discoloration on the lighter part, but the center inserts are in very good condition. Two tones are carried onto the seats where light blue surrounds tuck and roll inserts in darker blue, textured vinyl and none of the seats, including the back bench appear to have any damage or wear whatsoever. A blue 3 spoke steering wheel with horn buttons on each occupies the column which traces down to the elongated oval dash that houses five gauges including the large speedometer front and center. Over the top a dark blue dash cover is sculpted around the radio, in this case an AM/FM unit while a bank of four round vents is mounted under the dash in another oval design. Oval also dictates the shape of the glove box and from there, we note the Mustang T-shifter in the center console on a plastic and metal tray base that shows a touch of patina but is in fine shape. Blue loop carpet with vinyl inserts occupies the driver\'s footwell and the carpet continues throughout. A loose fitting but period correct plaid mat covers the sizable trunk. Drivetrain Show worthy clean and tidy, the engine bay holds a 200ci inline 6 cylinder engine with Ford blue painted parts and clean connections and hoses. A 1-barrel carburetor sits on top and a C4 3-speed automatic transmission is mounted behind and sends power to the Ford 7.25 rear with 3.20 conventional gears. The car is equipped with power disc brakes with slotted and drilled discs in the front and power drums in the rear. Undercarriage A lovely flat black covers the underside which is as clean as can be. If it was driven 500 miles since the restoration, you certainly can\'t tell from the underside. There\'s no surface rust, oil, or grease build up to report, so let\'s go over the major features. The c
