1966 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE

OVERVIEW

This 1966 Ford Mustang convertible is an older restoration completed in 2004. It is powered by a rebuilt 289ci Ford V8 engine backed by an automatic transmission. Features include manual steering, brakes, and windows; rally fog lamps; a new power convertible top; and a 1,200-watt sound system. Finished in Merlot with Gold metalflake and equipped with a black convertible top over a black vinyl interior, this first-generation Mustang is available now and comes from the selling dealer with the uninstalled original set of wheels and a clear Massachusetts title.

As part of the 2004 restoration, new rear quarter panels were installed and the exterior was repainted Merlot with Gold metalflake. It features chrome bumpers, rally fog lights, a fender-mounted antenna, a driver-side mirror with a manual remote, and a new black vinyl power convertible top with a plastic rear window. Additional features include rocker trim and dual exhaust outlets.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of 14-inch chrome Magnum wheels with three-spoke center caps and black accents is wrapped in radial tires.

A 140-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature are located in a panel ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 97,700 miles but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.

Power is provided by a rebuilt 289ci Ford V8 engine with a mild camshaft. Power is delivered to the rear wheels by an automatic transmission. Underhood features include cast aluminum valve covers finished in black with brushed fins, a chrome air cleaner, an aluminum intake, full-length tube exhaust headers, a windshield washer, and a quick battery disconnect. The selling dealer notes that the car needs an oil pressure sending unit.
