General description :
1966 Ford Mustang Convertible One of the best representations of the muscle car world has to be the classic Mustang. These cars were extremely popular new and just as popular in modern times. Not only are they still being made but the cars from the 60's are very collectable. We run across a bunch of different styles of classics in our business spanning from pro touring cars, restomods, originals, etc. Some of the coolest we get to experience are things like this very cool 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible that is a true survivor car. Literally, everything you see is what the car had from the factory. Since new, 58 years ago, the car has remained in a single family. That means since day 1 the whereabouts of this car has been known. Also consider that this means this car has never been wrecked and survived all those years with no problems and only 45,512 all original miles. The body wears its original Red paint which is showing its age in spots but is the actual original paint. The original top is done in White and is in good condition with no tears. All of the factory chrome and trim is there and mounted in place. The car sits on its original wheels and hubcaps with thin white wall tires.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
