There were 422416 standard Code 65A Mustang coupes built and 0nly 55000 CodeB Luxury coupes, as presented here, built in 1966. This Mustang also has paint code V Emberglow which was only offered in the 1966 model year. It also is equipped with just about all the options offered in 66.
The options include the following:
*Power steering
*Power drum brakes
*Dealer installed AC (currently not functioning)
*Very rare rally pack (includes tachometer & and clock)
*Full lenght center console
* 14X6 Style steel chrome wheels
*Interior Decore Group, which includes Deluxe Pony seats,Special molded deluxe door panels, Wood grain steering wheel, Courtesy door lights, and pistol grip door handles.
*Visibility Group, which includes inside day night rear view mirror, outside remote mirror, and 2 speed wipers.
The door tag also shows this car came equipped from the factory with the following:
*Paint code V........ Emberglow paint
*Interior trim code 64....... Emberglow & Parchment
*Engine code C.......289 V8 2V
*Transmission code 6........ C4 3 speed dual range automatic
* rear axle code 6.......280:1
Even though it appears as such, the C code 289 no longer resides under the hood. The factory engine has been upgraded to a 1993 Mustang 5.0 liter HO roller cam engine, however the 289 timing cover, water pump, pulleys, fuel pump, oil pan, intake manifold, and carburetor were retained. The larger 5.0 harmonic balancer and transmission flex plate had to be used for balance reasons. Also chrome try Y headers and Ford Duro Spark ignition with new distributor were installed. So you have the best of both worlds, better performance with the looks of the 289.
This Mustang has a very nice straight rust free and bondo free body with nice fitting hood, doors, and trunk lid. Very good quality, better than factory, paint job is about 10 years old and still retains a very nice shine which looks better in person than pictures show. There are however some minor chips that have been touched up, and also some minor bubbling at the lower front corner of both doors, which I hear is very very common for these early Mustangs. The hood has a very minor dent in the center, but no broken paint. Center of the roof also has a paint cut about 1/2" long These blemishes are shown in the photos. None are objectionable enough, or even noticeable enough to detract from the general appearance of this beautiful Mustang. I also have about a half pint of correct color touch up paint that goes with car.
All chrome and bright metal trim is very good. The back bumper is new.
Side and back glass are original and very nice. Windshield appears to have been replaced.
All rubber seals and weather strip is nice and soft and much of it appears to have been replaced.
Tires are BFG 215/70X14", Rears are new, fronts are 80-90%. Wheels are in good shape with some wearing of the chrome. Center caps are new.
Interior is fabulous with no tears, splits, or holes. Carpeting is new. The instrument panel, gages, and dash pad and door panels are very nice. Headliner and sun visors are nice with no staining or tears. Has aftermarket radio with cassette. Rally pack tachometer works, but reads high. Clock not working. Gas gage has some issues that I am trying to correct and might or might not work properly at auction end. Center console is very nice with new wood grain inserts.
Floors, frame rails and undercarriage are solid with no rust. Front suspension seems nice and tight. Exhaust system is tight with no leaks.
The transmission, all components of the power steering system, and most components of the power brake system were all rebuilt or replaced very recently. Also the alternator, water pump, and starter recently replaced. Optima Red top battery installed in 6-11
This Mustang runs and drives as good as it looks. It is tight with no rattles. The 5.0 liter engine provides good torque for responsive takeoffs. The transmission shifts smoothly with no hesitation, and passing gear works as it should. The odometer shows 61700 miles. No idea if this is original or not.
As pictures show the AC compressor is not currently installed, but the original compressor and all brackets will be included with the car. All other under hood AC components such as condenser coil, dryer, hoses, and wiring are still installed on the car.
I have described this vehicle as I see it, and although unintentional I might have missed something in the description, so please ask specific questions you need answered. I do truly believe it is very nice for a 47 year old car and something anyone would be proud to own and drive to local shows, however it is being offered in AS IS condition with no warranty expressed or implied. It is the buyer's responsibility to read complete description, view all pictures, ask questions, have a third party inspection, or best of all make his or her personal inspection to confirm condition, BEFORE PLACING WINNING BID, ( NOT AFTER!!!!!) Bidders with 0 feedbck must call Bill @ 502-839-8556 before placing a bid, or bid will be canceled.
ATTENTION TO ALL BIDDERS: Do not bid if you are not very serious and or do not have funds available following close of auction. I am using this site to sell this car, not play games.
Winning bidder must make a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE PAY PAL deposit within 48 hrs. of auction ending. The remaining balance of purchase price must be paid within 5 days from close of auction. Acceptable forms of payment include: Certified check, Bank wire transfer, or cash. IF paying by check, check must be cleared by all banks involved in processing of check before vehicle is released. Transferable title with both buyer and seller's names entered will be provided to buyer or shipper upon taking physical possession of vehicle.
If my reserve is not met, I might be willing to work something out with high bidder, if the bid is close enough to the reserve.

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013. Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though. "Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software." The most recent generation of the Ford Explorer is suffering from a similar malady, thanks to an intermittent electrical connection (we think that means short circuit) in the steering column. Like the Escape and Mariner, manual steering would still be available in the event of a power failure. Ford will recall 195,527 examples of its Explorer, 177,500 of which are in the US. This recall covers model years 2011 to 2013. According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has stated that Ford will inform owners of affected vehicles by July 25. Ford is also recalling 200,000 Taurus sedans, over a corrosion issue in the license plate lamp. This particular recall, which covers vehicles from model years 2010 to 2014, is limited to drivers in northern climes. Vehicle owners in southern states are free to pass on the recall. Finally, 82,576 Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ sedans from 2006 to 2011 are being recalled because of floormats that can interfere with the accelerator pedal. Dealers will replace the offensive floormats with newer examples. "Ford is committed to providing our customers with top quality vehicles. We are equally committed to addressing potential issues and responding quickly for our customers," Felker wrote.

Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.

A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
