This 1966 Ford Mustang is a sporty and fun to drive pony car that is sure to garner lots of attention cruising down the road! When the first Mustang debuted in the middle of 1964, it was an instant hit for Ford and launched an entirely new sub-category of muscle car, the Pony Car! Targeted at the youth-oriented market, the first Mustangs were fun, sporty, and fun to look at, all while remaining modestly priced. By 1966, Ford didnt want to mess with what was working for them in the Mustang and in turn FoMoCo didnt change much on the 66 Mustang. In fact, Ford was advertising the 1966 Mustang with the tag line Relax Mustang lovers. Your favorite car hasnt changed much in 1966. Likely the biggest stylistic revision to the 66 Mustang was that of the grille, shifting away from the 65 honeycomb style to the horizontal bar, floating Mustang look. On the inside, the standard 1966 Mustangs also received the 5 pot instrument cluster treatment which gave the new Mustang more of a race car look and feel. With these minor stylistic changes, the Mustang continued its massive sales success for Ford with over 1.25 million Mustangs on the roads by the end of 1966.
