SUMMARY
A fine example of America’s most recognisable muscle car, in very good condition and powered by the ubiquitous 289 'small block' V8.
DESCRIPTION
- Built in San Jose in 1966 and finished in Silver Blue with a black Vinyl interior, this is a C-Code Hardtop Coupé that was optioned from new with the 210bhp, 2-valve, 289ci V8 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission, factory-fitted disc brakes and dealer-fitted air conditioning
- It remained a California-registered car its whole life (the US number plate is supplied) before being imported into the UK just in time for COVID (March 2020). Our vendor is the second UK owner acquiring the car as a Christmas present to himself in December 2020 (the first having imported the car into the UK)
- 1966 M/Y cars benefited from moderate trim changes including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers, fuel cap etc. and the Falcon instrument cluster was discontinued, whilst the previously optional round gauges and padded sun-visors became standard equipment
- Work carried out whilst in our vendor's possession includes the conversion of the reversing lights to indicators and modifications to the headlights to comply with UK regulations. The front suspension has had every single ball joint and bush replaced and the car has been MOT'd every year with the Certificates further supporting the limited use the car has had in the UK
- Very well presented in Silver Blue with an equally impressive interior, further detailing in the engine bay would take it to the next level and it's supplied with a substantial history file that documents low ownership whilst in the States
- The Mustang is an emblem of automotive history and an icon of American muscle. Its legendary status and popularity are well-deserved, offer a unique blend of performance, style and affordability. This particular example, with its excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the model and is offered at a very sensible guide.
