33-Years-Family-Owned 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible 289

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1966 Ford Mustang convertible arrived at the height of the original pony car's popularity, with Ford producing over 72,000 open-top examples that year to meet demand that had far exceeded expectations since the model's landmark 1964½ debut.

This ‘66 convertible was a custom order when it was built at Ford's Metuchen, New Jersey, assembly plant. Originally finished in Silver Blue, it now wears Arcadian Blue paint paired with a White vinyl convertible top and Parchment bucket seat interior with Blue Pony/Luxury accents.

Standard ‘66 C-code equipment includes a 289ci V8, three-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drum brakes, 14” steel wheel with wire hub caps, and dual exhaust outlets.

This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is now offered at no reserve with a convertible top tonneau cover and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.
