Ford Mustang 200 c.i. 6 cylinder 1966
General description :
1966 Ford Mustang Coupe Nothing says American Muscle like a vintage Mustang. These cars are icons in the 60s and so popular that they are still one of the most seen cars on the road today. If you have ever wanted to own one of these cars but maybe didn't have the dollars it takes to get one, look no further. This 1966 Mustang is a great opportunity to get into the classic car hobby without having to break the bank. It is being offered up at a great price and it isn't every day you get a chance to own one of these iconic machines for just a little over 10K. If you do find an inexpensive one they are typically rusted out and require a complete overhaul to even enjoy. This is a case where you can enjoy this classic as is, slowly rebuild it overtime, or have a great base for a restoration project. You really have a ton of options when it comes to this car. It is painted a nice Red color and there are some chips and rough areas which is a big reason for the discount in price. That being said there aren't major rust issues with the body and the chips aren't obvious until you get up close. The car wears all of its original styling from the chrome bumpers to the emblems and the chrome bumpers have a nice shine with no pitting. The glass is all in good condition as well with no cracks or problems. The original style wheels with spoke hubcaps are found under all four corners with thin white wall tires. Lets look at the numbers...the data code plate decodes as follows. Under the hood of this pony is the original 6 cylinder motor that still runs well. Everything under the hood has a stock appearance. Backing up the motor is a C4 automatic transmission that shifts well. It is a nice driving car and starts up with no problems. It has power steering and air conditioning which are both working and nice luxury items to have. The brakes are all drums. The interior is the light beige Parchment and it has been redone previously. The current owner has replaced the carpet only but based on the condition of the upholstery and lack of the original Emberglo coloring it is likely that the seats were recovered at some point. It doesn't have any tears and looks good. The red dash pad has been replaced previously as well and doesn't show signs of sun damage like you see occasionally. The standard gauge package sits nicely in front of the driver and the gauges work. The AC system is a nice underdash unit and blows cold. An aftermarket radio has been installed but does have the vintage look and the original radio comes with the car should the new owner want to have it redone. In the trunk you will find a spare tire and the original plaid style trunk mat. The floors are solid and painted Red like the rest of the car. If your in the market for a nice solid unrestored Mustang at a cost that doesn't break the bank this is a great candidate! SOLD

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
