This Ford Mustang 1964.5-1966 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1966 Ford Mustang fastback was acquired by the seller in 2024 following reported long-term previous ownership and was refurbished circa 2019 with an exterior repaint in bronze and an interior refresh in tan vinyl. The car is powered by a C-code 289ci V8 that drives the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with 14″ styled steel wheels, an aluminum radiator, rocker panel moldings, front bucket seats, and aftermarket speakers. This Mustang is now offered with partial service records, a tool kit, spare parts, and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.

The car left the factory finished in Antique Bronze and was repainted under previous ownership, at which time rust repairs were reportedly performed and the inner fender aprons were replaced. It has rocker panel moldings, Mustang 2+2 badging, rear louvers, and chrome bumpers. The seller reports the aftermarket right quarter panel extension is misaligned. Close-up photos of the paintwork and trim are presented in the gallery.

The 14″ styled steel wheels wear 195/75 Ironman tires, two of which were mounted in March 2024. Braking is handled by front and rear drums.

The front bucket seats and a rear bench were reupholstered in tan vinyl in 2019 and the carpeting, headliner, and interior lights were replaced according to the seller. The door sills are protected by Ford-branded plates, and aftermarket speakers housed in the rear cargo area are linked to an Audiovox cassette stereo that works intermittently.

A three-spoke steering wheel is cracked and frames a 140-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles and is said to have rolled over.

The 289ci V8 has chrome valve covers. A Champion aluminum radiator was installed in 2024, and the removed factory radiator will accompany the vehicle.
