The Ford Mustang is an American icon originally based on the
Ford Falcon compact. The first production Mustang rolled off the
assembly line in Dearborn. Michigan on 9th March. 1964 and was
introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April
1964. It was then. and remains to be. one of the most successful
product launches in automotive history. The Mustang sold over one
million units in its first 18 months on the market and its legend
lives on with revised models still in production today - some 50
years later. With each revision. the Mustang saw an increase
in overall dimensions as well as in engine power. By 1969. the
muscle car race was on and Ford offered a 351 or 428 Cobra Jet and
other performance engines in most models. although these were often
ordered with the Fastback and Mach One cars. The '69 Boss 302 and
Shelby (available since 1965). were special Mustangs. offered with
both high performance engines and race-breed suspensions.

Offered here is a 1966 manufactured 'A' Code Mustang 'factory'
GT Coupé and importantly. one that has not undergone restoration or
been modified from the original specification. The engine has
covered less than 5. 00 miles since being rebuilt and the Autolite
4100 carburettor still has the original tag in place. The
car has the original GT Rally Pack gauges. GT exhaust tips and
driving lights. disc brakes and four-speed manual transmission. The
door cards. armrests. seat covers and carpet were all renewed
a few years ago. to Warranty Plate Trim Code 26 as per the
vehicle door tag. The A/M radio. indicators. courtesy lights
and reverse lights are all correct and in working order.
Repainted a few years ago in Candy-Apple red. this rare Mustang GT
remains in good condition. Having only had a mere three owners in
almost 50 years. the original owner keeping the car from 1966 until
2006. this Mustang is supplied with the original owner's manual and
title certificate. original Ford Owner's card. two sets of original
keys and an outstanding history file; including invoices and
handwritten logs of repairs from 1967 through to 2006. The file
also includes every annual registration card from 1967 to 2007. The
history file has to be seen to be appreciated and makes this rare. br/>manual GT. even more desirable. This exceptional car is offered
complete with the required NOVA certificate. a new MoT test
certificate and all the forms to enable registration in the UK.
With all import duties and VAT having been paid. this Mustang is
realistically estimated for such a fine example.

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL. br/>THIS LOT HAS HAD TO BE WITHDRAWN.
