With all the merely "pleasant" Pony Mustangs selling like hot cakes these days, it's nice to see one that walks with a bunch of swagger. Open-checkbook restored with performance and killer looks as the main goals, this restomod beauty is one of the slickest early Mustang coupes we've ever featured here at Streetside, and we've had quite a bit. Beautiful dark blue paint, a wicked stance, and a modern 5.0L HO V8 matched with a 5-speed manual transmission, this '66 Mustang checks all the boxes. The only thing it doesn't have is a pack of Luckys rolled up in its shirt sleeve.

But before we talk about the hardware, take a look at how pretty this coupe is. With a finish that looks like it was borrowed from a late-model color palate, the super-clean Caspian Blue metallic paint looks just right on the vintage coupe's bodywork. Miles deep with a great luster that pops out in the sunshine, it has a great shine thanks to the recent application, plus an inviting look that doesn't hide the Mustang's identity behind excessive flash. Instead, it shows off laser-straight sheetmetal, precise gaps, and a lot of the love that went into the build. Clearly someone was thinking carefully about this car as it was going together, and they kept it simple; no gaudy stripes, no silly wing out back, nothing but a subtle hood scoop and hood pins to distract from that classic look. Sure, it's no trailer queen and some minor imperfections might be found upon closer examination, but with curb appeal like that, you won't find any complaints from me. The front grille features the iconic "galloping stallion" in the center, and with a racing-style gas cap and trumpet dual-exhaust out back, "sporty" doesn't even begin to define this coupe. Bright chrome trim on the bumpers and window surrounds is all quite nice, given that the aftermarket is full of quality replacement parts, and the entire car has a very polished look that hasn't been diminished in the 9,544 miles since it was built.

As nice as the exterior is, the Pony interior will simply break your heart. Sure, simple black always looks great, but somehow this two-tone blue and white combination is especially appealing. The seat covers have that soft shine that only comes from correct materials, and the embossed running ponies on the seatbacks are crisp and vivid, the sign of the high-dollar stuff, not the cheap covers. Ornate matching door panels look practically new, as does the taut white headliner and distress-free dash pad, and the light blue plush carpets below are the correct pile and loop for the era. A custom center console is a great addition to any Mustang, and it houses a brushed-aluminum shifter that manages the quick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission below. There's a GT-spec gauge panel ahead of the driver - filled with Dakota Digital units that are far more accurate than the original units - and the woodgrain accents on the gauge bezel, glove box, and door handles really warm things up inside this deluxe interior. Anchoring the cockpit is a beautiful 3-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel that feels great in the hands of the driver, and a push button starter is about as high-tech as you'll ever find in a vintage Pony. A Kenwood touchscreen multi-media head unit lives in the center of the dash and manages the entertainment, and it's loaded with color-correct seat belts that were standard equipment on the Mustang, which was the first car to include them. The trunk is as neatly finished as the rest of the car, and sports a correct plaid mat that looks great.

Since the modern 5.0 liter H.O. V8 is essentially a Windsor-based 302, it slides right between the '65's shock towers without a lot of hassles. Transplanted from a 1995 Mustang GT, it was built to deliver performance that can handle regular driving on modern roads, delivering great power up and down the throttle. Torquey, smooth, and virtually bulletproof, the fresh 5.0 works as well here as it did back in the mid-90s, effortlessly moving the lightweight coupe around town. Keeping as many OEM components as possible means it's reliable and easy to service with over-the-counter parts, and thanks to Ford's wonderful EEC-IV engine management system, it starts instantly and idles smoothly every time, regardless of the weather. And you'll never get tired of watching the jaws drop when you pop the steel hood at a show and everyone sees that familiar long-runner cold-air intake and serpentine belt drive system. There's also a 4-point shock-tower brace that helps stiffen the body through the corners, and a big aluminum radiator and electric fan help keep the small block cool under any condition. The aforementioned 5-speed manual transmission is the perfect complement to the fuel-injected V8, with a race-ready clutch and heavy-duty Ford 8.8-inch rear end that can handle off-the-line power and highway cruising speeds alike. Long-tube headers feed into a custom H-pipe dual exhaust system that was fabricated for the new motor, and it has that familiar, throaty 5.0 bark that we all know and love. The front suspension is a custom A-arm setup with power rack-and-pinion steering and 4-wheel disc brakes with slotted rotors give it modern stopping power. Slick 17-inch American Racing Torque Thrust 'Old Style' wheels are always in fashion and they carry staggered 225/45/17 front and 235/55/17 rear performance rubber that fits the car's personality perfectly.

Given the price of the conversion and the quality of the paint and interior, we have to call this car a screaming bargain because it would take considerably more to replicate the build. And like most Pony Mustangs here at Streetside Classics, we doubt it'll last long. 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 $199 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.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. 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!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

Fees and Taxes

Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
