HERE IS A VERY NICE LOOKING AND GREAT DRIVING 1966 FORD MUSTANG HARDTOP WITH STOCK NUMBERS MATCHING 289CI/225HP A-CODE V8 AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VERY ORIGINAL CAR WITH 72,553 MILES SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER.


Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.

Vehicle came out of Wisconsin. Previous owner recently had the body completely repainted. This was a very original car, with one recent repaint. It has been mechanically maintained so it runs/drives good and can be driven anywhere. 

Under the hood lies the Stock MATCHING NUMBERS 289ci/225hp A-CODE 4V V8 motor that is virtually all stock down to the original valve covers, exhaust manifolds etc.

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been checked and adjusted and stop well. Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds great and is very responsive with a little play in the steering wheel.

Interior is all stock and original as you'll see in the pictures. Seats are in fairly good shape (some seam splits on driver's front seat). Dash is very good. Door panels are good. Carpet is old and worn but still fairly presentable. Headliner is NEW. Steering wheel has various cracks.  Overall a very presentable interior for a good driver.

Underside actually appears to be in typical older Mustang shape. Floorboards have been patched amateurly with sheetmetal (NEW FLOORBOARDS ARE AVAILABLE). Frame rails have rust on rear passenger side (where the extension close to the bumper is) and front driver's side, but can easily be patched/replaced. Shock towers still in one piece. Trunk appears to be VERY NICE.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall VERY GOOD with VERY NICE shine and only minor imperfections. Not working: radio, horn, couple of the smaller gauges disconnected, perhaps a bulb or two may need replacing. Carburetor could use some adjustment as car is a little cold natured, but otherwise runs/drives great. Appears that dash was cut at one point to house custom radio, which was recently replaced with stock one. 

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GOOD LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives good, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks

Wed, Jul 10 2019

Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser.  2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
