Basic information and History

The Ford Mustang is undoubtedly a well-known name to most people, the world's first "pony car" and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. The first generation was available in a variety of designs, coupé, fastback and cabriolet, among others. and could be supplied with a plethora of different engines. This generation is also one of the most sought after on the market thanks to its timeless design but also fine road characteristics.

This example is a 1966 model with the standard V8 of 289ci (4.7l) and came to Sweden in 2016 from the USA. The seller is the only owner in Sweden and has driven it very sparingly over the years and it has always been in a warm garage when not in use. According to information, it has only had 2 previous owners in the US.


Condition

Exterior: The seller says that the car is in fantastically good condition on the outside apart from a couple of very minor marks that are documented in the album. The car was repainted in the original color sometime before it came to Sweden and is perceived as a professional work and is still in very good condition. Among other things noted is a mark on the left front fender, a little scraped paint on the rear edge of the door and a small dent on the tailgate. Glass parts and chrome are in very good condition.

The roof is in very nice fully functional condition and has always been stored with the roof up and is free of damage, cracks or marks. For more info on exact condition see our detailed photos in the album and feel free to ask questions in the comment field!

Interior: The interior upholstery is, as seen, in super fine condition and without major complaints. The light blue interior contrasts really well with the paint and the combination is just the icing on the cake. The instrument panel is also free of cracks or major signs of sun fading. Original radio is present but with unclear function and a larger retrofitted speaker system. The controls are apparently original controls in fine condition with a little patina. All gauges and other functions in the interior are in a good and working condition. Meter setting cannot be guaranteed.

Mechanics: The seller informs that the entire driveline including engine, gearbox and rear axle works great and runs great on the road. On a few occasions, the drawer has slipped. As can be seen, the engine has been well maintained and had many parts replaced over the years. AC system works and blows cold. The last service was carried out by the owner himself in 2022 and there is no service book. The car runs straight and fine on the road and all brakes are in good condition. Inspection exempt and tax exempt. Please see all the photos in the album.


Summary

A really popular classic in a very nice condition. It's a really beautiful American pony car that works just as well on curvy country roads as it does on a cruise around town and attracts attention wherever you go! Refurbished examples like this do not grow on trees and if you are looking for a "turn-key" American convertible for the coming season, this is a fantastic opportunity.
