1966 Ford Mustang Fastback

This 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback is an immaculately presented example of the iconic American coupe, in an attractive colour scheme. It is powered by a ‘K-Code’ 4.7-litre (289ci) High Performance (Hi-Po) V8 engine, which sends power to the rear wheels via a four-speed top loader manual transmission with a 9-inch differential. The odometer currently displays 5,403 miles, though this is not warranted. The car has been with its current custodian for six years and was imported to Australia in 2003 and restored by Mustangs of Melbourne. The vehicle has won several local awards, including first place for the most Original Car on show at an ‘All Ford Day’ event. These trophies will stay with the car. This Mustang is finished in the handsome colour of Ivy Green metallic which has been carefully machine polished and a ceramic coating was applied earlier this year. The cabin has the Deluxe Pony interior in white, accented by dark wood dashboard inlays with the Rally Pack option on the steering column. The front seats have the embossed decoration . It rides on the correct set of 14-inch polished steel wheels, shod with new Maxxis MA-1 tyres. The exterior features include twin door mirrors, chrome bumpers, fog lights and a twin exhausts exiting through the rear valance. It has been upgraded to a new Holley 600 carburettor with a Pertronix Electronic Ignition system. The original twin point system will be provided with the sale of the vehicle. Its Fastback GT Hi-Po credentials are denoted by the red enamel GT emblems and 289 High Performance badges on both wings with white side stripes along the flanks of the car. Inside, the car showcases its original Ford radio with chrome switches, and also features an aftermarket smartphone cradle to the right of the steering wheel which can be easily replaced with the original cigarette lighter that comes with the car. It also has the original jack. The original front disc brakes have been upgraded with the addition of a power booster with dual master cylinder to greatly improve the driving experience and peace of mind that comes with the provision of that new dual master cylinder. The original single brake cylinder will be provided with the car. The car is accompanied by a selection of paperwork with numerous receipts. There is no impact damage present on the bodywork. The Ivy Green metallic paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition, having been fully resprayed. The seller is not aware of any defects, and the paint has been ceramic coated. Inside, the cabin presents equally well. The seats, carpets and controls have been superbly maintained and present with no damage or noticeable wear. There are no known faults with the car, and no warning lights are present. The latest service was carried out during November 2021 at 5,280 miles by Abe’s Autos. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, and a coolant flush. Prior to this, vendor reports that the car’s oil was changed on an annual basis during their ownership. It has been fitted with new front coil springs, alongside the new Holley carburettor and electronic ignition and dual power boosted Master cylinder. This 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback is a wonderful example of the iconic American pony car, in the rare, powerful ‘K-Code’ engine specification from the factory.
