The 1966 model year marked a high point in the early success of the Ford Mustang, with an impressive 607,568 examples produced, accounting for over 20% of total first-generation (1964½–1967) output. Among these, just 27,809 were built in the desirable fastback configuration. With its sleek roofline and unmistakable profile, the fastback has become the most sought-after body style among collectors today. It was this very platform that served as the foundation for Shelby’s iconic GT350, further cementing the fastback’s reputation for performance, style, and motorsport pedigree.
The example offered here is a well-presented and thoughtfully equipped 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback. Finished in its correct Wimbledon White, the car pairs classic styling with desirable factory options and tasteful upgrades. Power comes from the optional 225-horsepower V8 with a four-barrel carburetor, paired with Ford’s reliable C4 three-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes enhance drivability, making this Mustang equally enjoyable on winding back roads or relaxed weekend drives.
The interior has been restored in keeping with its original design, with the addition of leather seating for added comfort. Notable features include the factory-style Rally-Pac instrumentation, air conditioning, and a RetroSound stereo system, blending period-correct aesthetics with modern usability.
Performance has been subtly enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake manifold, and ceramic-coated exhaust headers, providing improved responsiveness while maintaining the car’s classic character.
This Mustang presents as a well-rounded example that runs and drives exceptionally well. Whether destined for weekend outings, Cars & Coffee gatherings, or longer touring drives, it offers an ideal combination of style, performance, and usability.
