1966 Ford Mustang Fastback

In the same year, Ford broke the 1,000,000 Mustang production mark. Of these hundreds of thousands of Mustangs produced, only 27,809 were fastback examples. This body style has become the most sought after collectable in today’s marketplace, as it was on the fastback platform that Carroll Shelby created the legendary GT-350 Mustangs.
