The Appeal
The quintessential American sports car, the Ford Mustang is an icon of the automotive industry. Introduced in 1964 and now in its seventh generation, the Mustang is a fixture of the Ford range and early examples are amongst the most collectable American classics on the market.
Here we have a superb 1966 example which benefits from extensive restoration work and various mechanical upgrades. Resplendent in red and complete with prominent racing stripes, it captures the zeitgeist of ‘60s car culture and matches its exciting looks with impressive performance.
Under the bonnet (or perhaps we should say “hood”), we find a rebuilt and upgraded 5.0-litre V8 engine with an Edelbrock high-performance intake manifold and Holy Sniper EFI. This endows this Mustang with ample power to make it seriously fun to drive, so don’t miss the chance to make it your next acquisition.
