1966 Ford Mustang Convertible 289

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Ford refined the Mustang formula for ‘66 with subtle styling updates, improved drivability, and an expanded list of comfort and convenience options. With its combination of V8 performance, sporty styling, and open-air appeal, the Mustang Convertible continued to define the pony car segment and remains one of the most recognizable classics of the era.

Originally finished in Springtime Yellow, this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible has been since been repainted in Candy Apple Red with a black convertible soft top over a black vinyl Pony interior. Power is provided by a 289ci V8 that has been fitted with a Holley four‑barrel carburetor, paired with a Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. The car features an aluminum radiator, power steering, a power-operated convertible top, and a retro-style modern audio system.

This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is now offered at no reserve with recent service records, owner's manuals, spare tire, boot cover, and New York State registration in the seller’s name.
