Description
This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible always makes for a cool wind-in-your-hair classic. And this one upgrades the experience by earning its GT style upgrades with a freshly-tuned hotter V8.
The factory-correct Signal Flare Red is a legendary color for Mustangs. It has been updated over its lifetime so you get quite a good gloss and shine in the sunlight - exactly what you want on a sunshine-friendly drop-top. It makes for a nice backdrop for classic pieces like the bright chrome trim and factory wheel covers. This vivid red is also the kind of thing you want for a performance pony, and this one has the right added style. You see cool period-correct updates like the GT badging and the trumpeted dual exhaust tips mounted through the rear valance. And the hood scoop is a well-integrated piece that's just pure flair.
The white roof is a newer piece that looks quite crisp and clean when it's in place. And with the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal a sporty black interior. So these color combos let you decide if you want to be a bit more elegant with the top up, or have a more athletic style with the roof down. They made a nice investment in newer door panels, seat covers, and a smooth dash to make this a more comfortable. And the upgraded Mustang floor mats with red inserts coordinate with exterior. There's an upgraded AM/FM digital tuner w/cassette and stereo speaker to give you ideal top-down cruising music. And this one really was meant for driving with bucket seats, a center console in-between, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and the '66 Mustang's upgraded gauge package.
The engine bay has the fresh look of a solid investment. The bold block radiates with new blue paint, and there's plenty of polish, including the GT350-style Monte Carlo bar. The 289 cubic-inch V8 has a Edelbrock upgrade kit that includes the four-barrel carburetor, intake, and polished valve covers. And this enhanced V8 exhales added power and authority as long tube headers feed the dual exhaust. This peppy motor is paired with a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission for a great time on the road. Plus, you drive with added confidence with features like front disc brakes and modern grippy tires.
This V8 pony car convertible is ready to cruise right now. But the only way you get to hit the road tomorrow is if you call today!

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.
