The seller offers for sale a 1966 Ford Mustang, presented in original specification and fitted with Ford’s 200-cubic-inch inline-six petrol engine. This unit, delivering reliable performance and smooth operation, was the most economical option in the Mustang range. The car is paired with a 3-speed manual gearbox, which shifts smoothly and offers an engaging driving experience. With 94,000 km on the clock (mileage verified), the car has been well preserved over the years, maintaining its original charm. The exterior is complemented by brightwork and a period-style interior that matches perfectly, both in style and tone. The dashboard, headliner, and seat upholstery remain in clean, intact condition. This Mustang holds a unique appeal thanks to its role as a showpiece in the popular “Outlander” TV series, adding a notable element of cultural interest.
The exterior presents with strong bodywork, well-maintained panel gaps, and consistent paint lustre. While there may be minor chips or blemishes from use, the car would require minimal attention to be prepared for show presentation. The chrome and trim align well, with bright, reflective surfaces that complement the paint.
Inside, the condition is remarkable, with no visible wear to seats, dash, or trim, and the interior surfaces are free from damage. A special heating system is fitted under the dash, resembling an original accessory and enhancing comfort. All apertures, seals, and fittings are in tidy order, with only a small, localised paint bubble noted on the driver’s foot entry area, which can be addressed before delivery.
Technically, the car is rated in good order and it holds a valid technical inspection certificate.
Introduced in 1964, the Ford Mustang quickly became a cultural icon and one of the most successful models in Ford’s history. The 1966 model year, part of the first generation, saw subtle updates to trim and features while retaining the distinctive long-hood, short-deck proportions that defined the Mustang’s sporty appeal. The base 200-cubic-inch inline-six engine offered dependable performance and fuel economy, making it an attractive choice for buyers who wanted Mustang styling without the higher fuel consumption of the V8 variants. The coupe body style was the most popular configuration, offering seating for four and a spacious boot, all within a compact footprint.
Ford’s marketing at the time heavily promoted the Mustang as a car that could be personalised with a wide range of options—over 13 engine and transmission combinations were available in 1966. This particular example’s connection to the “Outlander” television series adds an interesting cultural layer, as screen-used or screen-featured vehicles often draw additional collector interest. The first-generation Mustang remains one of the most recognisable and beloved classic cars worldwide, and its mix of accessible performance, stylish design, and historical significance has ensured enduring demand. Whether preserved in original form, like this car, or modified for performance, the Mustang represents the spirit of the 1960s American car scene and continues to be celebrated by enthusiasts globally.
