1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback

This 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback is an absolutely gorgeous A-Code Fastback Mustang with great options and superb curb appeal! When Ford introduced the Mustang in April 1964, it changed American automotive culture almost overnight. Within two years, the car that created the pony car segment had evolved into something even more compelling and nowhere was that evolution more apparent than in the 1966 Mustang GT Fastback. First introduced in 1965, the Fastback Mustang with its long sloping roofline, rear quarter louvers, and the flowing rear deck gave the fastback an athletic presence that the coupe and convertible simply could not replicate. It was also the body style that Carroll Shelby chose as the foundation for his GT350, a decision that permanently cemented the fastback's place at the top of the first-generation Mustang hierarchy. The GT Equipment Group was not a cosmetic exercise. It was a substantive performance package, available only on V8-equipped cars, that transformed the Mustang into a genuinely capable Grand Touring machine. On a 1966 GT, that meant front disc brakes as standard equipment, dual exhaust with chromed trumpet tips exiting through a special cut rear valance, fog lamps integrated into the grille bar, GT racing stripes along the rocker panels in place of chrome molding, a special GT gas cap, heavy-duty shock absorbers, the special handling package, and more stout engine options. Of the total Mustang production, Fastbacks made up less than 6% and of that, an even smaller portion were equipped with the GT package. The 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback occupies a particular moment in American performance history - the year the Mustang's formula was fully refined, before the platform grew heavier and more complex with the 1967 redesign. This particular example comes to us from an East Coast enthusiast who stewarded the car for more than 10 years. Powering this A-Code Mustang is a 289 cubic inch V8 engine fed by a single 4 barrel carburetor that together were said to have produced 225 horsepower when new. The 289 V8 is backed by a C4 Automatic Transmission that makes this Mustang Fastback an easy car for anybody to enjoy. Exhaust leaves this Mustang's small block Ford powerplant through a dual exhaust setup featuring the iconic GT-style trumpet exhaust tips the poke out through the lower rear valence, producing terrific throaty exhaust notes. This Ford Mustang Fastback comes outfitted with fantastic options! With upgraded power steering, squeezing into that tight parking space at the local car show or ice cream parlor is a total breeze, and the overall driving experience is much improved. Further assisting parking efforts is a driver's side chrome outside mirror that improves visibility down the side of this Mustang and also gives additional piece of mind during the occasional lane change while cruising. Front disc brakes are another wonderful option included with this Mustang GT since it makes bringing this '66 Fastback much easier to bring to a complete stop. This 1966 Mustang Fastback also comes equipped with all of the wonderful GT exterior trim upgrades including the menacing fog lamps, rocker panel GT stripe package and side emblems, the aforementioned trumpet exhaust tips, and a GT gas cap. Riding on a set of Mustang Rally Wheels, each mounted with Brand New BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, this Mustang GT Fastback has a sporty look and fantastic ride. The Fastback body has been recently refinished in Candy Apple Red paint that completes the exterior look of this gorgeous Pony Car. The interior of this 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback is absolutely stunning! The black bucket seats and rear bench are adorned with Deluxe Pony upholstery. The black carpeting and floor mats, door panels, woodgrain-trimmed padded dash, and the woodgrain 3-spoke Deluxe steering wheel are all in great shape as well and retain a wonderful stock appearance. The 5-pot instrument cluster is equipped with a 140 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge, amp gauge, oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge, and they are further supplemented with the additional Rally Gauges package which includes a 6,000 RPM tachometer and clock. You'll be able to listen to all of your tunes while cruising down the road since this Mustang is equipped with an upgraded AM/FM/Cassette stereo system by JVC. The dash is finished off with various other controls, a cigarette lighter, as well as a woodgrain-trimmed glovebox. Whether you're adding to your existing stable of Pony Cars or you're buying your very first classic car, this 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback would make an excellent choice.
