1966 Ford Mustang Coupe For Sale

20-Year Ownership Original 289 V8 5-Speed Manual Heavy-Duty Rear End Classic American Pony Car

This well-maintained 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe is the kind of classic thats becoming increasingly difficult to find-an honest, driver-quality first-generation Mustang that has been cared for by the same owner for approximately 20 years. Powered by its original 289 cubic-inch Windsor V8 and upgraded with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, this Mustang combines timeless styling with improved highway cruising and an engaging driving experience.

Finished in classic Red over a Black vinyl interior, this Mustang has all the character that made the original pony car an American icon. Tastefully upgraded over the years while retaining its vintage appeal, it offers the perfect balance of originality, reliability, and drivability.

Under the hood sits the dependable original 289ci V8, equipped with a recently rebuilt original factory carburetor, a chrome air cleaner, and vintage finned aluminum valve covers that add a nostalgic performance look. A fairly new fuel pump has also been installed, ensuring reliable operation. The engine starts easily, idles smoothly, and delivers the unmistakable sound and feel of a classic small-block Ford.

Power is transferred through a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, providing improved acceleration and relaxed highway cruising compared to the original three- or four-speed transmissions. Out back, a heavy-duty rear axle adds durability, making this Mustang equally enjoyable on weekend cruises or longer road trips.

The suspension has been upgraded with rear air shocks, allowing the ride height to be adjusted while maintaining the cars aggressive stance. Riding on polished 15-inch Weld Racing wheels wrapped in 225/60 front and 235/60 rear tires, this Mustang has a muscular, period-correct appearance.

The dual exhaust system features classic glasspack mufflers, producing the unmistakable rumble every vintage Mustang deserves.

Inside, the Black vinyl bucket seat interior remains clean and inviting, featuring:

Front Bucket Seats
Rear Bench Seat
Removable Center Console
Hurst-Style Floor Shifter
Front Lap Belts
Aftermarket AM/FM Cassette Stereo
Rear Floor Mats
Tight Headliner

The driver is greeted by the factory three-spoke steering wheel and original instrument cluster featuring a 120-mph speedometer, along with factory gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. The five-digit odometer currently shows 50,049 miles, although total mileage is unknown.

Mechanically, this Mustang has received extensive recent maintenance, allowing its next owner to simply turn the key and enjoy. Recent service includes:

Rebuilt Original Factory Carburetor
New Dual Master Cylinder
New Fuel Pump
New Front Brakes
New Rear Brakes
New Front Tie Rods

The Mustang starts easily, runs smoothly, shifts beautifully through the 5-speed transmission, and is a pleasure to drive. The only notable mechanical issue is a very small oil seep between the engine and transmission. It is minor, typical of many vintage Fords, and has not affected the cars excellent drivability or reliability.

One particularly desirable detail is that the original factory VIN stamping remains clearly visible on the drivers side inner fender apron, an important authenticity feature appreciated by knowledgeable Mustang enthusiasts.
