The 1966 Mustang might seem almost identical to its predecessor, but it still exhibits several easily distinguishable changes, including the grilles. Additionally, Ford also released minor tweaks to the engine lineup, as the 289 HiPo engine installed on K-code Mustangs was now available with a C4 transmission.
However, the engine remained unchanged from 1965.
The base unit was the 200 six-cylinder unit with 120 horsepower, while the base V8 was the 289 two-barrel fitted on C-code Mustangs and developing 200 horsepower. The 4-barrel version, also available on the original 1964 1/2 Mustang, now produced 225 horsepower (the same as on the MY 1965), and the HiPo version remained the icing on the cake with 271 horsepower.
Someone on eBay posted what looks to be a museum piece – a 1966 Mustang that has never been restored, yet it flexes an incredible shape inside, outside, and under the hood.
The vehicle has been meticulously cared for since leaving the factory, so it's now spotless. The paint looks incredible, and considering the unrestored promise, it should be the original finish that came with the Mustang when it rolled off the assembly lines.
eBay seller timmismotor, the garage in charge of finding a new owner, says the Mustang comes with a 289 V8 that runs and drives beautifully. It's paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, and we should expect all numbers to match.
The odometer indicates over 133K miles, so theoretically, this Mustang didn't spend too much time in a garage. It makes the unrestored condition even more unbelievable, so you should inspect everything thoroughly. The metal's shape is great, and you won't find a single spot of rust on this Mustang. The floors and the trunk pan are likely spotless, but you can always put the pony on a lift and look at what happens underneath it.
The blue interior looks mesmerizing, and the typical issues plaguing a first-generation Mustang, such as the ripped seats and the damaged headliners, aren't a concern this time. I still find it difficult to believe that the Mustang has never received any repairs, especially considering the mileage, but you can always check out everything thoroughly before committing to a purchase.
An all-original and unrestored Mustang is a rare piece of automotive history, and while I don't expect this 1966 model to be immaculate, it's worth checking out for someone who wants a collectible that doesn't require too much work. The car was listed on eBay with a $27,900 price tag, but the garage also enabled the Make Offer button, so it's ready to listen if you're interested in the Mustang.
You can see this Mustang in person in Victoria, British Columbia, and the garage says it can send it anywhere, including in Europe.
