This 1966 Ford Mustang is a C-code coupe that was assembled in San Jose, California and is finished in red with white stripes over a black interior. Power comes from an overbored 289ci V8 that is fitted with aluminum cylinder heads, an upgraded camshaft, and an Edelbrock carburetor. Additional equipment includes a three-speed automatic transmission, a GT350-style hood and front valance, power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, aftermarket 14″ wheels, and a stainless-steel dual exhaust system. This Mustang coupe is now offered by the selling dealer in Sherwood, Oregon with a clean Nevada title.
The car was fitted with a GT350-style lower front valance and hood with pins and has been refinished in red with white center stripes. GT350-style rocker stripes, Shelby badging, and side scoops were added, and additional details include chrome side mirrors, dual exhaust outlets that exit through the rear valance, and a retractable antenna. Paint chips around the hood and front of the vehicle are shown in the gallery.
Polished aftermarket five-spoke 14” wheels are mounted with 195/60 Kumho Solus KR21 tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and front disc brakes.
The interior features front bucket seats and a rear bench that have been reupholstered in black vinyl along with matching door panels and carpeting. The front bucket seats wear Shelby Cobra GT350 patches and additional amenities include a push-button radio, faux-woodgrain dash trim, lap belts, and vent windows.
A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel with a Shelby center cap fronts a 140-mph speedometer that is flanked by auxiliary gauges. Rally Pac gauges are mounted to the steering column, and additional aftermarket instrumentation mounted below the dash display readouts for voltage, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 81k miles, although total mileage is unknown.
The 289ci V8 is said to have been bored .030″ over and is fitted with an Edelbrock carburetor, aluminum GT40-style cylinder heads, an aftermarket camshaft, a stainless-steel dual exhaust system, Cobra-branded valve covers, and an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. A Monte Carlo bar has been added to the engine bay.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. An additional underside image is shown in the gallery.
