1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop

Bid to $9,400 on 10/4/19

This 1966 Ford Mustang is a hardtop coupe finished in Sahara Beige over a black interior and powered by a 200ci inline-six backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. The seller acquired the car from the family of the original owner in 2018, and work over the course of his ownership is said to have included an exterior repaint, an interior refresh, engine rebuild, and additional cosmetic and mechanical updates as outlined in the listing. This Mustang is now offered with a clean New Mexico title in the seller’s name.

The body has been refinished in Sahara Beige, which is the original color according to the data plate. Urethane-based paint was used, and a replacement hood and front valance were installed during the work. The windshield trim and rocker moldings were refurbished, and new equipment includes new front and rear bumpers, side mirror, and grille. The seller notes the presence of a few dings in the body.

Steel 14″ wheels are mounted with covers and wear whitewall tires fitted by the seller and are accompanied by a matching spare. Work also performed at that time is said to include the installation of new Monroe shocks, bushings, and rear drums as well as new brake shoes and wheel cylinders at all four corners.

Inside, new black covers are installed over the front and rear seats, and further additions include a new headliner, kick panels, rear package shelf, door sills, and black carpeting. A new steering wheel replaces the original item, and new seat belts are equipped.

The five-digit odometer currently reads just under 88k miles and is believed to have rolled over once.

Paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, the T-code 200ci inline-six was reportedly rebuilt during the refurbishment, and is believed by the seller to be original to the car. Output was rated at 130 horsepower when new. A summary provided in the gallery lists additional components installed:

New pistons and rings
New lifters
New freeze plugs
New camshaft
New oil pump
New bearings
New water pump and thermostat

The C4 transmission is said to have been serviced with new exterior seals, filter, fluid, and pan gasket. A differential service was also performed.
