The seller offers for sale this 1966 Ford Mustang Cabriolet, a charming American classic originally imported from California, in 2000. The car has remained with the same German owner since 2001 and has been carefully maintained by a recognized Mustang specialist. In 2007 it received a professional repaint in its original Vintage Burgundy colour, along with an engine overhaul. The car features an electric convertible roof in good condition, clear rear window, and matching cover. The red vinyl bucket seats remain in fine condition, complemented by original headrests, a clean dashboard, and intact carpets. The 3.3-litre six-cylinder engine paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission ensures smooth cruising. Recent servicing includes new brake cylinders, pads, and fluid, plus fresh oil and lubrication, and a new original radiator. The Mustang holds a valid German inspection (HU until 07/2027) and has no visible rust or accident history, apart from a minor replaced front headlight frame many years ago. The car is equipped with original wire-style wheel covers and whitewall tires.
The 1966 Ford Mustang remains one of the most recognizable symbols of the American car industry. Celebrated for its timeless design and accessible performance, the first-generation Mustang introduced the concept of the “pony car” — sporty, stylish, and practical. The convertible variant adds open-air driving pleasure and vintage charm, making it a favourite among enthusiasts. This example, with its well-documented ownership, maintained mechanical condition, and authentic California heritage, offers the ideal blend of reliability and collectability for those seeking a usable classic icon.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.
