Mechanically, the car is in good condition. Under the hood lies the iconic 289 cubic inch (4.7-litre) V8 engine, a hallmark of mid-1960s Mustangs, paired with an automatic transmission. Importantly, it is equipped with power steering, adding comfort and ease of use, particularly beneficial for city driving or longer cruises.

The Ford Mustang debuted in 1964 and quickly became one of the most influential cars in automotive history. By 1966, the Mustang had firmly established itself as the quintessential American pony car, blending sporty performance with stylish looks and an affordable price. The 1966 model year introduced subtle refinements, including revised grille designs, new wheel options, and updated trim packages. Engine choices ranged from economical inline-sixes to robust V8s, with the 289 cubic inch V8 remaining among the most popular options for drivers seeking a balance of power and daily usability.
Throughout its early production years, the Mustang became a cultural icon, featuring prominently in films, television shows, and popular music. Its appeal lay not only in its sporty handling and attractive styling but also in its broad range of customisation options, which allowed buyers to tailor the car to their personal tastes. Over the decades, the 1966 Mustang has retained its desirability among collectors and enthusiasts alike, representing an accessible yet classic piece of American automotive heritage.
This particular example benefits from a thorough restoration, modernising its reliability while preserving its classic charm. The presence of power steering enhances drivability without compromising the car’s authentic feel. For collectors, a well-restored 1966 Mustang remains an appealing investment, as values for quality examples continue to appreciate. For drivers, it offers an engaging and nostalgic experience on the road, complete with the rumble of a classic V8 engine and timeless good looks.
