Original, Solid 1966 Mustang An Affordable Classic! on 2040-cars

Hello and thanks for checking out this nice Mustang.

This car is a recent acquisition for me and I found a fastback that I want more so this one has to go.  This is a very nice original solid car with very little signs of any rust. I will do my best to point out any flaws I have found. I realize it is a worry to buy a car sight unseen online, so I am free to answer any and all questions about the car. I highly recommend coming to look at the car or have someone local look at it but I know that is not always possible so you can be assured that I will provide you all the information you need to make a good decision.

I have a very reasonable reserve and I am open to any offers that are reasonable, just look at something equivalent in shape. I have seen several that are not as nice for more. If it goes the distance I may remove the reserve if it meets what I have in it.

I have owned several Mustangs and I would never buy a rust bucket, or a dog. Every car I buy I ask myself “would I keep it” that is why I could not pass up this one. It is a very solid original car. I will list the items I know about the car along with the allowed pictures. I will have a Photobucket that has over 100 pics. Email me for the link, since eBays crappy system will not let us post a link here.

Please be serious about owning a Mustang and ask questions and call me and we can make this a good experience for all.

Engine:

It has a very clean excellent running 6 cylinder 200cid. I am sure that is original to the car, though I am not sure but I can check the numbers if that matters to you. I looks as if the starter is newer as well as the carburetor. It starts up nicely and runs smooth with no weird noises or smoke. I was told that it was rebuilt but I am not sure and do not have documentation. No major oil leaks or water leaks and it does not overheat at all. It has some chrome dress up items on the engine and it looks great. I have all the original parts in the trunk.

Transmission:

It has an automatic transmission that shifts well and the shifter is factory tight. I will make sure that the transmission gets a service before I sell it. Drive shaft is tight and makes no weird noises at all.

Running Gear:

You can decode the vin if you like, but it has 2.83:1 axle ratio. It works great! No noise or leaks. It has manual steering and it works well and the car drives great down the road. The tires are at least 90% or better and they are in good shape. They were just dirty and I cleaned up the whitewalls. It has the factory hubcaps that are in good shape.

Brakes:

The car has 4 drum brakes with newer parts. I will have them inspected and you will be comfortable knowing that they will work well. It has power brakes with a new booster and master cyl.

Interior:

The interior is in excellent shape. All original, code D4 Parchment/Emberglo (maroon). The carpet is very nice, the headliner is perfect as is the rest of the interior. The seats are all original and are in good condition. It has some nice sheepskin covers that cover the front seats and I looked under the covers and the condition is good, there is a couple of small flaws. The dash is nice, but has the wave on the passenger side but I would leave it alone. All the gauges seem to work all the windows work well and it has a remote driver’s mirror. The passenger lock does not work with the key, not sure why. The steering wheel has a couple of cracks in it but it is the original. Lights all work as do the signals. Door panels are good as is the glass. No cracks, there may be a few scratches but you have to be looking for them.

Exterior:

This car has a near perfect solid exterior! The factory color is Emberglo Metallic code V. It seems to have one re-paint of a maroon color ( I was told it was a Mustang color) and it is pretty nice. (Driver quality) Looks excellent from 10 feet or so. It is not without flaws, but I am not asking 10k for the car. The doors work well and open and close nicely no door sag. Fit Form and Function work well with this car.

RUST:

 I looked it over very well for rust, since this should be a major concern when buying a Mustang. All the sheet metal is original with the factory coding. No patch panels or quarter patches. I did not try to cover up any patina with paint at all. I wanted you to see the originality. The only rust I found was a very small spot, just a start in the passenger floor pan, and some small bubbles in the lower front corner of the door. The rest of the car and major components are very solid, I do not see them this solid very often! See the pictures for yourself! The car has not had any visible wrecks. Just look at the front core support and rear deck panel! I AM VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT THE SOLIDNESS OF THIS CAR. ALMOST RUST FREE!

I am not looking to hide anything I want  you to appreciate the quality of this car's originality!

Over all this is a very nice original SOLID Mustang. It has obviously been well taken care of and not restored or hacked up. Drive as is with little normal Mustang repairs or have a perfect foundation to take it to the next level show car.

Please call me if you have any questions at all.
