I'm listing my 66 Mustang for sale. I will give a very honest description listing the good and the bad.
I would classify this car as a very good to excellent driver quality car. It has a base 289 2bbl and C4 automatic trans. Exterior color is Springtime Yellow the interior is Parchment with black accents. Differential is the standard 8 inch open 3.00:1 ratio.
This car has the majority of it's original sheetmetal, the passenger door is not original and the drivers door has had a lower skin repair. Other than that I believe the rest of the sheetmetal and undercarriage to be all ford. The car is extremely solid. The floorpans, frame rails etc all rust free and that means no previous rust repairs. There is a small rust whole in the passenger rear wheel well. All the inner fenders are original also. The under side has not been restored and as such shows the dirt of 40 plus years. The paint is an older enamel finish that still shows well but has multiple minor nicks and scratches. There are paint adhesion problems in the door jamb hinge area and also under the hood on the lips were the fenders bolt are. Looks like improper prep in those areas. There is a crease in the left front fender behind the extension ear of the front bumper and a small ding in the passenger door. The rear valance panel is not a good paint match to the rest of the car. It is a few shades off, it was added when the duals were put on. Most all of the chrome and stainless shows very well, I have been replacing small things as I went along. The doors open and close as they should.

When I purchased the car it had black pony interior. The door tag decoded it as parchment with black accents and I have restored it as such and it presnts very nicely indeed. The car originally had a manual top, I purchased a used complete power setup from another Mustang and installed it completely using all Ford parts. The top is not new but it is in excellent shape with no exterior damage. Everything works electrically with the car.

Mechanically the car has also been gone through, new fuel tank, rebuilt carburetor (professional rebuilt) , new brakes and wheel cylinders, car uses pertronix ignition. The car has several leaks, small leaks from engine (oil) and power steering (very small) and from the automatic transmission. I intend to pull the drivetrain this winter if the vehicle does not sell to reseal the trans and freshen the engine and engine compartment as it also has never been restored /detailed and looks tired. The car has new Hankook Radials.

The car is an excellent driver. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I took it to a local show today and rolled off at least 70 miles round trip. It is unusually smooth at speed and very easily cruises at 70/75 mph. The transmission shifts as smooth as butter, there are no unusual noises, rumbles or rattles. It is a pleasure to drive. It has factory AC, last year I did charge the system to see if it functioned and in did indeed work well, I have barely used the car this summer and have not used it since. The steering is tight, no loose suspension componets, the car tracks straight as an arrow, handles well and does not exhibit any unusual tire wear. Starts right up and does not smoke or use any oil to speak of. I recently installed factory style dual exhuast with the trumpets etc. Very quiet system, nothing offensive. Other than addressing the leaks the car needs nothing, and even the leaks are optional, the trans leaks the worst if the car sits for long periods of time unused.

I can provide other pictures as needed, you can call my cell to talk about the car. 732 599 8774, starting the bid at 100.00 and the reserve is 25,000.00 so no need to ask.
