The seller offers for sale this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible, an iconic American classic equipped with a 4.8-liter V8 engine and manual transmission. This example was originally delivered as an export model with a km/h speedometer and was purchased in France. The car underwent a partial restoration in the past and was later acquired by the current owner in 2015, who carried out further restoration work while retaining as many original components as possible. The paintwork was redone in 2016 and presents well overall, with light scratches and some rust visible on the passenger door. The interior was also renewed in 2016 and remains in neat condition. The engine does have starting issues, but runs without unusual noises and does not produce smoke when warm. The gearbox shifts smoothly. The car was previously damaged at the rear, with a rear wing replaced. The current undocumented mileage is 83,000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The soft top is present and in good condition with minor signs of use and slight discoloration, while remaining watertight. The mechanism functions properly but shows some wear and may require adjustment or maintenance over time.
The Ford Mustang is one of the most recognizable classic cars ever produced, first introduced in 1964 and quickly becoming a symbol of freedom and performance. The 1966 model represents the early success of the Mustang, combining sporty styling with accessible performance. Known for its long hood and short rear deck, the Mustang offered strong V8 performance and stylish design at an attractive price point. Convertible versions add an extra level of driving enjoyment and remain popular among collectors today thanks to their timeless appeal and strong enthusiast following.
