Think of a pure out-and-out American pony car, designed to bring
out the youth in everyone, powering you and your girl west down
Route 66 and you could well have a '66 Mustang coupé in your mind.
The best-selling Mustang variant of all time with just 249 short of
half a million rolling off Ford's production lines in that model
year.
Now could be the time to ignite your youth again as the new owner
of this racy red example, The last owner, an specialist American
mechanic liberally invested in excess of £3,000 and untold hours of
labour and love in bringing the car up to its current excellent
standard since importing it from the US in 2010. Solid,
straight and rust-free, this Mustang comes with the ever-popular
289 cubic inch (4.7-litre) V8 and trusty C4 automatic gearbox. New
engine parts include the oil pump, timing chain and gears, rockers,
lifters plus an Edelbrock Performer street and strip intake
manifold topped with a 650cfm four-barrel Holley carburettor and
chrome air cleaner headed up by a brand new radiator. The Interior
has been treated to brand new seat foam and covers with matching
red door trims, kick panels, trim mouldings and parcel shelf. The
electrics are fully functioning and the air conditioning pump has
been renewed. Also fitted is an original-pattern steering wheel,
rear-view mirror and chrome air conditioning outlets. Floor mats
carry the embossed 'Pony' logo and the 'trunk' mat is also new.
Even the windshield washer bag is a new original-style item.
Exterior replacements include fresh front and rear bumpers with
over-riders, the door handles, driver's door mirror and wiper arms
as well as chrome rear lamp bezels. Complete with a lengthy MoT
test certificate, this represents an extremely good looking, well
prepared example of the American dream..
