Ford Mustang 289 CID V8 1966
General description :
Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this classic 1966 Ford Mustang. Slathered in a rich cloak of metallic burgundy, and touting a new black vinyl top, this is one very elegant Pony. Get behind the wheel of this Mustang and you'll fall in love immediately. The car came off the assembly line with the highly sought out A code. Powering this peppy stallion is a freshly rebuilt 289 CID V8, that's topped by a 4BBL carburetor and a set of finned aluminum valve covers. Transferring the stout 289's power to the 9-inch rear end is a rebuilt C4 Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. Toss in cold A/C and power steering, and this Mustang is ready for whatever trip you want to take it on, and when you reach your destination, you'll have arrived in comfort and style. Inside, its black Pony interior is gorgeous to look at, and a pleasure to ride in. The sporty buckets up front straddle the shifter and console nicely, while the bench out back begs you to have some friends tag along. What really sets this Mustang apart is the level of detail in the complete nut-and-bolt restoration, completed by Wagner's Classic Cars. With a stack of over 2 inches' worth of receipts for NOS 1066 Mustang parts, and a photo book of the restored project's outcome, you'll know you've found a 1966 Mustang that appears virtually new; and frankly, it's better than it was when it was new. Solid floorpans, new fuel tank, all new suspension (including bushings and all fittings), new front end components, new rear leaf springs, it's virtually all been replaced underneath (and everywhere else, it appears). All of the sheet metal was stripped bare, prepped, and finished, and the attention to detail in the entire project is very evident. Upgrades to the original equipment include a full aluminized dual exhaust system that helps give it a great exhaust note while not being too loud, plus a 4-wheel disc brake package from SSBC. This car stops and goes better than any 1966 Mustang ever did when it was new! Additional options on this 1966 Ford Mustang for sale include Air Conditioning, AM radio, Power 4-wheel disc Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Synthetic Leather Pony Interior.

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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
