Highlights: – 4.7-litre (289 cubic inch) V8 engine, petrol, automatic transmission – First-generation Mustang hardtop coupe in a dark finish – Pony-style interior with leather-look and suede upholstered bucket seats – Wood-rimmed steering wheel with pony emblem – Dual exhaust system visible on the underside The private seller offers for sale this 1966 Ford Mustang, powered by a 4.7-litre V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission. With its long bonnet, short rear deck and the galloping pony in the grille, this first-generation Mustang coupe is the quintessential American sports coupe of the 1960s. When Ford launched the Mustang in April 1964, it created an entirely new class of car, the pony car, and sold more than a million examples in the first eighteen months. For 1966 the Mustang received a number of small updates, including a new grille with a floating pony and a revised range of wheel covers and trim. The 289 cubic inch V8 was the most popular engine choice, valued for its willing character and the unmistakable V8 sound, and it remains one of the most sought-after small-block Fords among collectors. This car carries the 289 badge on its front wings. According to the seller, this is a unique 289 V8 Mustang with a pony interior, and it is offered because the owner now wants to drive a more modern car. The cabin has been fitted with upholstered bucket seats in a two-tone leather-look and suede finish with embossed pony-motif inserts, a centre console with armrest and a wood-rimmed steering wheel with the pony emblem. The photographs also show the dual exhaust system and the rear axle on the underside. Chrome bumpers, a chrome grille surround and period-style alloy wheels complete the picture of a classic Mustang that is well suited to summer drives and car meetings.
