Desirable, matching-numbers C-Code Mustang with a 289ci V8
Rare factory option front bench seat
Registered as a collection vehicle by the FFVE of France
Only two former registered keepers
The Appeal
By 1966, the Mustang had really seized the zeitgeist in a big way, and utterly dominated it. This was a truly charismatic chunk of pure American muscle, with Hollywood good looks and an increasingly impressive selection of engines setting it up as a deeply aspirational car. To this day, it's these that are the most recognised and celebrated amongst enthusiasts and pop culture alike.
The C-Code is arguably the ubiquitous Mustang - certainly amongst the most desirable. Not quite the brash gas-guzzler of its bigger brothers, and yet not lacking an ounce of power like its smaller six-cylinder siblings. A great mid-point into Mustang ownership and amongst the most eminently drivable.
Finished in Ford Sapphire Blue with matching blue interior, this European-market Mustang boasts several desirable features including the rare factory option front bench seat and original Ford radio. Having had only two former registered keepers before the current custodian acquired it in February 2023, this matching numbers vehicle presents an opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of American automotive history with European provenance.
