Description
LYON AUTOS EXPO offers for sale this exceptional specimen of the most coveted muscle car, the Ford Mustang Fastback.
Model produced in 1966 in its Emberglo livery (a colour only available that year).
A true collectible, this exceptional mechanical package embodies the golden age of American performance. At the heart of this icon lies the legendary V8 289 High Performance "K-Code", a mythical engine developed for purists and lovers of raw emotion. With 271 horsepower at 6, 000 rpm, it offers an intense, authentic and deeply mechanical driving experience.
Born from uncompromising engineering, this block features a high compression ratio of 10. 5:1, a bespoke camshaft, meticulously revised cylinder heads, reinforced connecting rods and the famous Autolite 4100 four-barrel carburettor. The combination allows the engine to breathe fully, with clean, responsive and downright fierce revs, unmistakable signatures of the most sought-after Hi-Po variants.
Power is transmitted through a four-speed manual gearbox with close-ratio gears, paired with a strengthened rear axle. This architecture guarantees direct acceleration and a pure mechanical feel, faithful to the racing ethos and the demands of the great hours of American competition.
Finally, the prestigious GT Equipment Group package completes this exceptional ensemble. Front disc brakes, twin exhaust, specific stabiliser bars, more precise steering and full instrumentation bear witness to a clear aim: to offer controlled handling and strong braking, perfectly in keeping with the exclusive character and performance of this legendary car.
