An established modern classic beyond reproach, the Ford Mustang Convertible is as emblematic of the time and spirit of its production as it is of the modern Mustang enthusiast. And desirable as the 65-66 Mustang convertible is, if the base car is the Audrey Hepburn of Ford drop tops, the Ford Mustang GT must certainly be the Ingrid Bergman–something just that much more desirable and elusive.
This superbly restored 1966 Ford Mustang GT convertible is elegantly finished in Vintage Burgundy Metalic with handsome Parchment Crinkle interior and white convertible top and features: rebuilt and Rare A code 289cid 225hp 4 barrel V8, 4-Speed top loader transmission, Fog Lights, updated factory style radio, bucket seats, Magnum wheels and power convertible top.
The car received a loving rotisserie restoration and shows wonderfully with hand rubbed glossy paint, all new trim and glass. The GT has totally fresh mechanicals, running gear and the electrical work has been gone through as well. The engine compartment and under carriage are finely detailed and the interior is crisp and new.
With GTs accounting for a mere 3 or 4% of total Mustang production, these classics Fords are exceptionally rare. This special example retains the GT option front disc brakes, heavy duty springs, heavy duty front sway bar, and special quick ratio steering box, correct exhaust bracket inside the rear sub-frame, and correctly wired fog lamps.
For either the experienced collector or the newly christened enthusiast, there will be very, very few such well restored, well cared for and financially accessible GT convertibles from which to choose any time in the foreseeable future. Those seeking just such an automobile will have missed an extraordinary opportunity when this car is no longer available!
