While the Ford Mustang has its very own, well-deserved place in American automotive history books, it has millions of fans pretty much all over the world for pretty obvious reasons.
But the 1966 Mustang you see here is exclusive to the United States, as the car, which has recently been saved from a barn, is listed for sale only for those living in the pony car's home country.

What you’re looking at here is a Ford Mustang GT, and at first glance, it features everything that sets it apart from a standard model, including the GT side badges and the lettering, the GT stripes, the GT gas cap, and the dual exhaust, as well as separate GT fog light bar on the front.

Everything is original, the owner claims, and it also comes with disc brakes; these came standard on the 1966 Mustang GT, and according to the eBay listing, they are available alongside factory air conditioning.

Very little has been shared about the engine, though we do know it’s a 289-ci (4.7-liter) unit paired with an automatic transmission. “The vehicle runs great,” we’re being told, so as a summary, what we have here is an all-original, numbers-matching 1966 Ford Mustang GT with all GT badges still in place, saved from a barn, and with absolutely no rust whatsoever.

This is something rather rare these days, as Ford built approximately 25,500 Mustang GT units for model year 1966, a notable increase from 15,000 cars sporting the GT Equipment Package the year before. The odometer on this one indicates 69,000 miles (111,000 km).

How much is this Ford Mustang really worth? Given all of the above, it’s pretty clear the car can’t come cheap, so the eBay price is $26,500. The good news is the seller has also enabled the “Make Offer” button, which means you can reach out to them with other deals should you be interested in trades.
