1966 Ford Mustang Coupe for sale
Current customer rating:
() based on 47 votes
Let's face it, with so many over-the-top cars out there, there's definitely something to be said for a little subtlety. This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe is an ideal example of doing more with less, and it doesn't need flashy paint or oversized tires to make its statement. Instead, it's a carefully crafted machine that lets originality and the little things do the talking, and once you get a look, I guarantee you'll be impressed with this factory-spec Pony.
The early Mustang is one of the most recognizable cars ever built, so the subtle and elegant look this one carries shouldn't bother anyone. Refinished in a color that's pretty close to Candyapple Red, (an upgrade over the car's original color: Springtime Yellow), it was finished to a very good standard a few years back and has helped up well through year, presenting like a solid, driver-grade Pony today. Forget fake Shelby stripes, this one makes a statement with good bodywork, crisp sheetmetal bends, and a consistent, shiny finish work so that you're drawn in to have a closer look. It's got some age and mileage on it today, but there's a lot to love about a Mustang that's been driven and set right, and everybody will smile when they see this handsome '66 cruising down Main Street. Things like the chrome bumpers, stainless window surrounds, and taillights are all stock Mustang items, because good taste never goes out of style, and because the VIN says this is indeed a C-code 8-cylinder car, those '289' emblems on the front fenders aren't just there for show. To be honest, it's kind of refreshing to see a Mustang dressed pretty much as it might have been in, say, 1969 when it was still being used as a regular car, not a collector's item.
The black bucket seat interior is like the body, almost entirely stock (and most likely original to the car, too), but with a few smart upgrades that enhance the driving experience. The original buckets are certainly worn-in, especially on the driver's side, but a quick reupholster would bring them back to snuff, or just use them for a while as-is with 'character' marks in tow. Black door panels match at the flanks and show some patina as well, as do the slightly faded black carpets on the floor, but the wear is honest and typical, and nothing that's so concerning that it needs immediate attention to be functional. Original gauges are functional inside the stock bezel, while the radio was upgraded with a Sony AM/FM/Cassette unit that powers aftermarket speakers in the rear package tray, and the dash has held up incredibly well with no cracking or troubled areas to report. That's a factory center console – a highly sought-after piece in any early Mustang, and it houses a bright T-handle shifter that manages the C4 3-speed automatic transmission below. The 3-spoke steering wheel and its well-worn leather wrap is perhaps a little fatter than the original, there's a taut headliner above, and the back seat hasn't seen much action in years, so it's in good shape too. In back, the trunk is finished with a heavy-duty rubber mat that gives it a cool look and protects it from the elements.
Small block Mustangs are a threat on the street thanks to their excellent power-to-weight ratio and rugged hardware, and it's no surprise that this C-code is still powered by one today. This 289 has been augmented with things like a Holley carburetor and upgraded ignition coil, and it drives smoothly so you know there are no finicky parts inside. Dress-up includes a set of chrome Edelbrock valve covers and a matching air cleaner, as well as Ford Blue engine enamel on the block itself that is a nod to tradition. It's not detailed for show, but it runs great and a few weekends of work under the hood could really make a difference on this entry-level cruiser. Power steering and power brakes are the options you want in your Pony, making this '66 easy to handle for driver's of just about any experience level. Underneath, you'll find very solid floors, a dual exhaust system with chambered mufflers, and a newer gas tank, while the smooth-shifting C4 automatic transmission spins what's likely the original rear end filled with highway-friendly 2.80 gears. Stock Mag wheels always look great with bright red center caps and they're wrapped in 195/75/14 whitewall radials that complete the authentic, original look.
Walk softly and carry a big stick has always been a favorite car-building philosophy, and this pretty red Mustang coupe is an easy way to get into the hobby with a blue-chip collectable. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
