1966 Ford Mustang

NO RESERVE

1966 Ford Mustang Coupe – overhauled to daily driver! More than $30k in updates and upgrades over the 5 years I've owned and driven it. This car drives, handles, and sounds amazing, and it's incredibly fast. Suspension is dialed in. This gorgeous, badass classic is as dependable as any modern car, and a lot easier to maintain!

New Ford Racing 302ci V8 crate motor with Boss racing heads and completely rebuilt original C4 transmission and rear end (specs below). For the last 20k miles, this has been my daily driver and I've taken it on a few trips from Annapolis, MD, to Atlanta, GA and Manhattan, NY. I replaced the rear gear ratio to .350 for better throttle response and installed Wilwood front disk brakes. Everything under the hood is new. As you'll see with the list of updates and upgrades below, it's got everything except a final paint job. The rear frame rails were rotted, and I had them professionally replaced, along with strengthening several other areas along the unibody. The engine swap was also professionally conducted by an ASE certified technician. Unfortunately, the original 289 was not suitable for rebuild. 

As you will see with the below list, this is not a tire-kicker special – this is a legitimate daily driver with true hot rod potential. It is my current daily driver and is ready for its new home.

Here are the highlights (all parts are new and professionally installed):

-       Ford Performance Boss M-6007-X302E crate engine, 340 HP

-       MSD electronic ignition, coil, module

-       Holley 570 CFM Street Avenger 4 barrel carburetor, electric choke

-       Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake manifold 

-       Edelbrock Performer RPM mechanical fuel pump (110 gph)

-       Wilwood front disk brakes and master cylinder, new rear drum brake system and lines (complete)

-       Moroso 7qt front sump oil pan

-       American Racing 17” wheels, Shelby Gt 350 reproduction

-       Replaced all steering components with stiffer sway bar

-       Doug's racing headers

-       American Thunder header-back dual exhaust and Corsa tips

-       Aluminum Scott Drake radiator with matching electric adjustable fan and shroud

-       PA Performance 90A 4G alternator and bracket

-       Upgraded headlights and new harness with relays for direct battery power

-       Shelby Gt350 fiberglass hood reproduction

-       JEGS racing seats (front), original rear; front pony bench seats convey with purchase, great condition, no obvious wear; original carpet also conveys, decent condition

-       New 3-point seatbelts (front) and lap belts (rear)

-       Massive custom audio system with Blue Tooth, all hidden from view (front and rear amps, front and rear speakers, trunk-based subwoofer mounted to rear seat, head unit, capacitor; Rockville/Pioneer)

-       Dynamat under interior carpet and seats, and in trunk

-       Carpet and mats

-       Wood steering wheel

Notes:

-       Dash gauges and other electrical components, interior lights, etc. are in good working order except the steering wheel horn button (actual horns are new)

-       66k miles at engine swap (unclear whether it was clocked); 88k now

-       Tires are almost new (BFGs rear, Pirelli front) 

-       Glass is all in good condition

-       Body shows signs of wear, including some rust spots and bondo hairline cracks. Tub was reinforced with aluminum panels, body rivets and body panel adhesive. I expect that a professional body shop will want to replace one or more panels. The quote I received for a Barret Jackson-ready body repair and paint/clear was close to 11k; less will definitely get it done in great style as well. It looks amazing as-is but you will see the age up close. Driver side has some mismatched paint where body work was done.

-       Electrical power is 100% steady (90a alternator)

-       I have NOT yet added air conditioning or power steering (never needed them)

-       MANY other small things, I have a complete list.

-     Sold as-is, please conduct a thorough inspection and ask any questions you like.
