Ford Mustang 289 V8 1966

Allmän beskrivning : CLEAN LITTLE PONY, 289 V8, AUTO, DUAL EXHAUST, PRICED TO MOVE STARTER CLASSIC!!

Let's face it, with so many over-the-top cars out there, there's definitely something to be said for subtlety. This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe is an ideal example of doing more with less, and it doesn't need flashy paint or oversized tires to make its statement. Instead, it's a carefully crafted machine that lets the little things do the talking, and once you get a look, I guarantee you'll be impressed.
The early Mustang is one of the most recognizable cars ever built, so the subtle and elegant look this one carries shouldn't bother anyone. Refinished in a color that's pretty close to Candyapple Red, which is this car's original color, and it looks awesome. Forget fake Shelby stripes, this one makes a statement with straight bodywork, crisp sheetmetal bends, and nice finish work so that you're drawn in to have a closer look. It's got some age and mileage on it today, but there's a lot to love about a Mustang that's been driven and everybody will smile when they see this handsome pony car. Things like the chrome bumpers, stainless window surrounds, and taillights are all stock Mustang items, because good taste never goes out of style, and while the VIN says this is a T-code 6-cylinde car, those '289' emblems on the front fenders aren't just there for show. To be honest, it's kind of refreshing to see a Mustang dressed pretty much as it might have been in, say, 1969 when it was still being used as a regular car, not a collector's item.
The red bucket seat interior is like the body, almost entirely stock, but with a few smart upgrades that enhance the driving experience. The original buckets have been reupholstered in correct textured red vinyl seat covers with door panels to match, and there are new carpets on the floor. Original gauges are all fully functional, while the radio is a familiar AM unit, but somewhere along the line, someone has thoughtfully added an FM unit under the dash, so you're not stuck with whatever passes for entertainment on AM these days. There is no center console, but the T-shaped shifter for the C4 3-speed automatic looks right sticking out of the neatly upholstered transmission tunnel, just as it would have decades ago. The steering wheel is perhaps a little fatter than the original and there are carpeted floor mats to keep it in top shape. In back, the trunk is finished with an OEM style plaid mat that gives it a correct look.
Small block Mustangs are a threat on the street thanks to their excellent power-to-weight ratio and rugged hardware, and it's no surprise that someone upgraded from the original inline-six. This 289 has been augmented with things like an Edelbrock carburetor and GM HEI ignition system, and it drives smoothly so you know there are no finicky parts inside. Dress-up includes a set of finned valve covers and a custom air cleaner, as well as Ford Blue engine enamel that is a nod to tradition. It's not detailed for show, but it runs great and a few weekends of work under the hood could really make a difference on this entry-level cruiser. Underneath, you'll find extremely clean floors, a recent dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers, and new shocks all around, so it's ready to enjoy immediately. Stock steel wheels with Mustang hubcaps and 195/75/14 whitewall radials complete the authentic, original look.
Walk softly and carry a big stick has always been a favorite car-building philosophy, and this pretty red Mustang coupe is an affordable way to get into the hobby with a blue-chip collectable. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
