When Ford announced the Mustang in 1964 an American icon and the term American Muscle car was born.
Imported from the USA in 2015 this lovely coupe comes in great condition and in a very striking and fetching colour, Tahoe blue metallic with a matching two-tone blue interior and that all important 289 V8 engine.
Nice and original, the car has had only a couple of UK enthusiast owners, who have maintained and serviced the car regularly throughout their ownership, using it mainly for trips out to classic car club meetings, shows and events.
The History and Paperwork
Built in 1966
Imported from Michigan in 2015 with little history
All NOVA and import paperwork complete
UK registered and V5c present
Historic vehicle
Receipts for various parts and servicing since 2016
Mileage indicated cannot be verified as genuine
Non transferable registration number
MOT exempt
2 keys and handbook
Spare wheel cover
Since arrival in the UK, both owners have kept the car garaged, enjoying it regularly although not doing huge mileage.
The current owner had intended to firm up the Mustangs’ ride with an Export Brace and Monte Carlo bar but hasn’t got round to fitting them, so these are included in the sale.
The Interior
Blue vinyl seats
Good original condition throughout
Five-dial dash
AM radio
Finished in two-tone Blue, the original interior is looking great, with carpets and original dashboard, headlining and door-cards all in fine condition.
The sporty five-dial dash displays fuel, oil pressure, water-temperature and battery voltage and the original three-spoke colour coded sports steering wheel is also present.
Internal chrome fittings show some sign of age and use but are all generally in good condition and the drivers’ seat base, which has been recovered, is a slightly different shade of Blue. It also comes with the correct Mustang dealer-fit floor mats.
The heater, fan, vents and wipers all work just fine, with all windows being nice and clear and rolling up and down smoothly and easily.
The Exterior
Lovely Tahoe Turquoise metallic paintwork
Optional factory steel sports wheels with good tyres
All original body panels
Good chrome trim all round
The paintwork is in mostly excellent condition with only a few small signs of age and use and some very minor scratches and the odd chip in the paint.
There are no outward signs of any corrosion and all the badges, chrome trim and bumpers are still good and bright with some slight pitting to be found on the window trims.
The wheels are all good and all sit on recent new rubber and this Mustang Coupe looks very striking from all angles.
The Mechanics
289ci V8,
3 speed automatic transmission
Nicely detailed and clean engine bay
Clean and dry boot area with chequered boot liner
Optional factory front disc brakes
·Various suspension parts and leaf springs recently replaced
Very solid car underneath
The 289ci V8 runs beautifully and a very smooth 3 speed automatic transmission make this a great car to go cruising in, accompanied of course by that very addictive exhaust note.
Summary
A great example of a 66 Mustang coupe 2+2, with that big lazy V8 engine and presented in a rare striking colour that compliments and accentuates those iconic and classic lines.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
