289-Powered 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe

Description

Following the wildly popular first-year Mustang, Ford refined the pony car formula for ‘66 with subtle styling updates, improved drivability, and an expanded list of comfort and convenience options. Three body styles were now offered — the Hardtop (coupe), Convertible, and Fastback (SportsRoof) — appealing to everyone from economy-minded commuters to performance enthusiasts.

This ‘66 Mustang started off life powered by an inline-six but was fitted with a 289ci V8 as part of a restoration completed under prior ownership about a year ago. At that time, the car was repainted, the interior was reupholstered, the front brakes were converted to disc, and power steering was installed along with an aluminum radiator, an Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor, tubular headers, and a dual exhaust system.

The car features a floor-shifted automatic transmission and a center console, as well as a GT-style grille with additional lighting.

This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe is now offered with a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
