1966 Ford Mustang

Ford Mustang (1966)
for sale

Price: US $23,300.00

Description:

Up for auction is my clean 1966 Mustang Convertible. This is a very solid original California car (built at San Jose/Milpitas plant and DSO of Los Angeles) with original CA black & yellow plates. The car sports the factory correct and rare Sauterne Gold paint with black top and black interior. Drivetrain consists of a solid (runs cool with very good oil pressure) C code (stock internals) 289 cid (with mild upgrades) and a T5 (5 speed) manual transmission that replaced the original C4 automatic; best upgrade I did to this car...way funner to drive than with automatic transmission! I would say with all the bolt-on upgrades (see listed below) I've made to this car , I would call it a mild restomod driver. The only issues I would say it has are some paint blemishes (chips, scratches, cracks - see pics) which are typical of any 25+ year old paint, rear window/curtain (canvas frame) is pretty worn, but functional, and a tear in driver side seat upholstery. All electrical works and power top operates smoothly. Overall, this is a super fun driver (handles much better than a stock '66 Mustang) that gets a lot of thumbs-up whenever I drive it. Please email me with any questions you might have or for additional photos. Also, I can show the car in person if around SF Bay Area. Being sold AS-IS, no warranty!
