When the Ford Mustang debuted mid-year in 1964, it didn't just create a new market segment; it exploded it. Ford sold over a million first-generation Mustangs by March 1966, cementing its place as an automotive icon. The 1966 model year, in particular, refined the winning formula with subtle styling tweaks and an expanded options list, including the desirable GT package. The GT option elevated the Mustang's performance credentials with a more powerful engine, upgraded suspension, front disc brakes, and distinctive styling cues like fog lights and side stripes, transforming the pony car into a true muscle car contender. This 1966 Mustang GT stands out as a remarkably preserved example, finished in its factory-correct Candy Apple Red paint with a matching red bench seat interior. Power comes from the sought-after A-code 289 cubic-inch V8, breathing through a four-barrel carburetor and paired with a manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience. With just 54,000 legitimate original miles, this Mustang boasts its original paint and metal, having never undergone any bodywork. Stored in a dry warehouse since 1979, the car presents with solid floors and frame rails, indicative of its sheltered life, and features factory air conditioning, power steering, and its original radio. This is a rare chance to acquire a largely untouched piece of American automotive history.
