This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a wonderful example of the iconic classic ‘pony car’, offered in largely unmodified condition and benefitting from a previous respray and interior retrim. Under the bonnet is a 289 cubic-inch small block V8, mated to a dual range three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The odometer shows 52,251 miles, which is believed to be accurate but is not warranted. An American-delivered, left-hand drive example, this Mustang was first registered in January 1966. It is believed to have had only three owners from new, and has been with the seller for the last 12 years. A matching numbers compliance plate is attached to the vehicle. This Mustang has been resprayed to its factory original Wimbledon White finish with a black convertible top, over a re-trimmed black interior. It rides on a set of 17-inch five-spoke aftermarket wheels wrapped in Yokohama ADVAN Sport tyres. Originally ordered with the ‘luxury’ interior option, it features woodgrain appliqué dash panels, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a reconditioned and working AM/eight-track sound system, plus a collection of 8-track cassettes. A Bluetooth sound system is also present. The Convertible top is hydraulically operated. The car has been converted from the original two-barrel carburettor setup with an electronic ignition system, and has been made compatible with unleaded fuel. A mongoose alarm and immobiliser has also been installed. The car will be accompanied by documentation of its maintenance history including service records stretching back to its purchase in January 1966. There is also a complete tool set and accompanying cover as originally provided in 1966 stored in the boot. There is no known bodywork damage. The resprayed Wimbledon White paintwork has been maintained in excellent condition, and the seller notes no major flaws, though there is a small mark above the front passenger-side wheel arch. The rear driver’s-side corner of the convertible roof is lifting slightly. Inside, the cabin has been re-trimmed and is presented in excellent condition, with the seats, carpets, and trim all presenting very well. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. The car’s last roadworthiness test was completed in August 2022, which it passed without issue or advisory. This Mustang’s most recent service was carried out at an indicated 52,006 miles by a private service mechanic, who completed a standard service and tune including all necessary maintenance. As the car has only seen limited mileage, necessary maintenance has been minimal, but the seller stresses that regular services and tunes have been undertaken. Presented in impressive overall condition following a previous respray and interior retrim, as well as a recent service, this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a well-cared-for and handsome example of the famed American performance car. Believed to have covered just 52,251 miles and ready to enjoy, it would make a fine addition to any collection, as well as a stylish companion for summer cruises and longer-distance journeys alike.
