Lets face itand#44; with so many over-the-top cars out thereand#44; theres definitely something to be said for subtlety. This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe is an ideal example of doing more with lessand#44; and it doesnt need flashy paint or oversized tires to make its statement. Insteadand#44; its a carefully crafted machine that lets the little things do the talkingand#44; and once you get a lookand#44; I guarantee youll be impressed. The early Mustang is one of the most recognizable cars ever builtand#44; so the subtle and elegant look this one carries shouldnt bother anyone. Refinished in a color thats pretty close to Candyapple Redand#44; which is this cars original colorand#44; and it looks awesome. Forget fake Shelby stripesand#44; this one makes a statement with straight bodyworkand#44; crisp sheetmetal bendsand#44; and nice finish work so that youre drawn in to have a closer look. Its got some age and mileage on it todayand#44; but theres a lot to love about a Mustang thats been driven and everybody will smile when they see this handsome pony car. Things like the chrome bumpersand#44; stainless window surroundsand#44; and taillights are all stock Mustang itemsand#44; because good taste never goes out of styleand#44; and while the VIN says this is a T-code 6-cylinde carand#44; those 289 emblems on the front fenders arent just there for show. To be honestand#44; its kind of refreshing to see a Mustang dressed pretty much as it might have been inand#44; sayand#44; 1969 when it was still being used as a regular carand#44; not a collectors item. The red bucket seat interior is like the bodyand#44; almost entirely stockand#44; but with a few smart upgrades that enhance the driving experience. The original buckets have been reupholstered in correct textured red vinyl seat covers with door panels to matchand#44; and there are new carpets on the floor. Original gauges are all fully functionaland#44; while the radio is a familiar AM unitand#44; but somewhere along the lineand#44; someone has thoughtfully added an FM unit under the dashand#44; so youre not stuck with whatever passes for entertainment on AM these days. There is no center consoleand#44; but the T-shaped shifter for the C4 3-speed automatic looks right sticking out of the neatly upholstered transmission tunneland#44; just as it would have decades ago. The steering wheel is perhaps a little fatter than the original and there are carpeted floor mats to keep it in top shape. In backand#44; the trunk is finished with an OEM style plaid mat that gives it a correct look. Small block Mustangs are a threat on the street thanks to their excellent power-to-weight ratio and rugged hardwareand#44; and its no surprise that someone upgraded from the original inline-six. This 289 has been augmented with things like an Edelbrock carburetor and GM HEI ignition systemand#44; and it drives smoothly so you know there are no finicky parts inside. Dress-up includes a set of finned valve covers and a custom air cleanerand#44; as well as Ford Blue engine enamel that is a nod to tradition. Its not detailed for showand#44; but it runs great and a few weekends of work under the hood could really make a difference on this entry-level cruiser. Underneathand#44; youll find extremely clean floorsand#44; a recent dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflersand#44; and new shocks all aroundand#44; so its ready to enjoy immediately. Stock steel wheels with Mustang hubcaps and 195/75/14 whitewall radials complete the authenticand#44; original look. Walk softly and carry a big stick has always been a favorite car-building philosophyand#44; and this pretty red Mustang coupe is an affordable way to get into the hobby with a blue-chip collectable.
