1966 Ford Mustang

This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe is finished in dark grey metallic with a black vinyl roof and dark grey leather interior with light grey inserts, a color combination that is understated, sophisticated, and unlike the red and white examples that dominate every show field. The 289 cubic inch V8 is backed by the three-speed automatic with power brakes, and Cobra wheels give the exterior a period-correct performance look that suits the dark grey paint well. A fitted Mustang cover tells you how this car has been kept, and winter garage storage confirms it.

Ford introduced the 289 in 1964 and it became the engine that defined the early Mustang's performance reputation. By 1966 it was available in two-barrel and four-barrel configurations, and in either form it earned a reputation for being dependable, easy to maintain, and highly responsive to modification. 1966 was also the first year of federally mandated safety standards, making every Mustang built that year the first to include front and rear seatbelts, a padded instrument panel, emergency flashers, and electric wipers as standard equipment.

The interior is clean throughout with black carpet running the cabin and a retro-style stereo fitted in the dash that gives you modern audio without ruining the period feel of the cockpit. The dark grey leather with light grey inserts is a two-tone combination that photographs well and looks even better in person, giving the cabin a level of visual interest that a single-color interior never quite achieves.

A dark grey first-generation Mustang coupe stored properly in winters with a fitted cover and a sorted V8 under the hood is the kind of car that appeals to buyers who have looked past the obvious choices and found something with more personality. These are only going in one direction in terms of value, and this one is as well presented as they come.
