The seller offers for sale a Ford Mustang from 1966, presented as a classic American coupe with automatic transmission and a petrol-powered V8 engine. This Mustang was originally delivered in California and spent its life there before being exported to Europe in 2015. Thanks to its Californian background, the car has benefited from a favourable climate, contributing to its well-preserved structure. The car has been repainted in its original and rare Emberglo colour, a distinctive metallic orange-brown shade unique to the 1966 model year. The interior features the desirable Luxury Pony trim and has been refreshed with new carpeting and seat upholstery, maintaining a period-correct appearance. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. Disc brakes of the original optional type are fitted at the front. The car has received several technical improvements in recent years, including a revised automatic gearbox, renewed drivetrain components, and updated ignition. A minor historical damage to the front right area is known and visible only on the inside.
The Ford Mustang was introduced in the mid-1960s and quickly became one of the most influential cars in automotive history. Designed to be affordable, stylish, and enjoyable to drive, it helped create the pony car segment and defined a new era of American motoring. The 1966 model year represents a refined evolution of the original design, offering improved comfort and a wide range of options. With its V8 power, relaxed driving character, and unmistakable styling, the Mustang remains popular among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Its combination of performance, heritage, and visual appeal has ensured lasting recognition and strong demand in the classic car market.
