Description
Lot #686.1 - Produced in November 1965, this 1966 Ford Mustang convertible is painted in a period shade of Springtime Yellow. With a single long-term ownership in Phoenix, this car has been well-preserved and has a suite of documentation to vouch for its originality. The bodywork and paint show as though it just rolled off the showroom floor and are set off with a black convertible top and a set of wire wheel hubcaps riding on whitewall tires. On the inside, the black Pony interior gives the car a more upscale, sporty look and is a very desirable option from the period. The original wood steering wheel is flanked by the optional Rally-Pac gauges with important features like a tachometer and clock. To help cool off that black interior, this car retains a power convertible top and all-important air conditioning - both of which still work great. Ford was one of the first companies to offer an 8-track player as an option in their cars, adding it to the options list just two months before this car's production, and this Mustang still holds its original unit, paired with an AM radio and speakers in the doors. Under the hood is the coveted C-code 289ci V8 engine. Rated at 200hp from the factory, this V8 produces plenty of power and low-down torque to keep this Mustang happy at the speed of modern-day traffic. The engine was also optioned with the chrome dress-up kit, which adds some visual flair to the car under the hood and sets this car apart. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C4 automatic transmission, and optional power brakes help slow the car down. Power steering was also specified on this car and helps round out the list of options that make this car the ultimate usable classic. Owner's manual and books, complete binder of ownership papers and receipts, original jack, spare tire, boot and tonneau cover are included. 61,243 miles (the title reads mileage exempt).
