Description of 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe |
|
Original California car: Genuine, factory original 1966 Mustang GT A-code 289ci V8- 225hp coupe with the original door tag! No Marti reports are available from Kevin Marti for Mustangs prior to 1967, so I have broken down the VIN and trim tag for your review. This is what the car started out in life as backed by the original Ford data door tag that has never been removed.: Year: 6 - 1966 Plant: R - San Jose, California Body Series: 07 - Coupe Engine: A - 289 4v V8 Unit: 153384 Body: 65A - Coupe, standard interior, bucket seats Color: R - Ivy Green Metallic Trim: 26 - Black Crinkle Vinyl and Black Rosette Vinyl, Standard Interior Date: 13A - January 13, 1966 D.S.O. 72 - San Jose, CA Axle: 1 - 3.00:1, Conventional Trans: 6 - C4 Automatic According to In Search of Mustangs (the definitive registry of vintage Mustangs), of the approximately 65,000 surviving Mustangs listed in the registry, this car is one of just 1081 surviving 289 A-code coupes that are recorded in the registry. Based on consensus estimates of 15% GT production, this car is one of just 162 surviving factory-produced 1966 GT coupes. It comes finished in code correct fresh Ivy Green Metallic paint job by California West Coast Paint and Body Shop in Los Angeles, CA in December 2016. Further evidence to that, great pains were taken to bring this car back to its original state with the help of Paul Crosswhite, the Mustang M.D in Castaic, CA (some know him as the Mustang Ranch...
