Ford Mustang 302 CID V8 1966
General description :
Up for sale in our Detroit showroom is this stunning 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350 tribute! Making quite the scene when it was first introduced midway through 1964, the Mustang quickly earned a reputation as America’s favorite pony car, paving the way for other classics like the Chevy Camaro, and is still coveted by enthusiasts today! Treated to a recent complete full nut-and-bolt restoration, and only driven 2,000 miles since that time, this Mustang is a brand new car with the vintage look! Revisions to the 1966 Mustang included many upgrades to mimic the Shelby GT 350 with relocated upper A arms to give the correct ride height, correct Shelby T pan, 1” front sway bar, steering with correct pitman and idler arms, bullet mirrors, Shelby 9k tach, black crinkle valve covers and air cleaner, correct drive shaft loop, racing lap belts, and nearly everything that would have been on the true GT 350. Rather than the stock A-code, the Mustang packs the high-performance 302 CID V8 roller motor, which cranks out much more power than the stock engine and comes with a transferrable 7-year warranty including removal and replacement at any ASE Certified shop. Rated at 325 to 350 horsepower, and backed by a T-5 manual transmission, the power meets the ground to a 9-inch rear end with posi-traction and 3.50 gears, for a fast and fun cruising experience! If the rumble from the dual exhaust ever becomes tiresome, the car has been upgraded with a slidebar radio with usb/ipod dock, Alpine amp and Alpine Type-R speakers, so becoming bored and tired will be the last thing on your mind when you’re out cruising in this beauty! One of the first parts of this Mustang that grabs your attention are the straight, clean, and unforgettable body lines coated in a brilliant shade of Red. The interior was reconditioned in June of 2017 with bucket seats up front and a removeable custom center console, new carpet kit, and the glove box was hand signed by Carol Shelby himself, this Mustang has a wild look equaled by few others. Options on this car include: AM/FM radio, seat belts, vinyl interior, and radial tires wrapped around rally wheels. If you want a high-performance pony car for a fraction of the price, then this ’66 is the car for you!

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
