1966 MUSTANG COUPE GOOD DRIVER

1966 Ford Mustang

.
The initial bid price will be lowered to $100.00 tomorrow night after I have added to the description and posted more photos . Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
This is a good driver that can easily be brought up to local show level condition.
Please review my Ebay feedback . We just sold our 1966 Mustang and the buyer is very happy with it . I have been in our local Mustang club for 30 years and know these cars very well.
I am listing this one on behalf of my sister because she is no longer able to drive and she does not have an Ebay account . She has owned the car for 20 years . Please review my Ebay feedback . We just sold our Mustang and the buyer is very happy with it . I have been in the Mustang club for 30 years and know these cars very well.
It is a factory V8 and originally came with a 2 barrel intake . During the rebuild it was upgraded with an original Ford 4 barrel intake and Ford Autolite 4 barrel carburetor and dual exhaust . It is only a 2 owner car and has been garaged when not in use . It has never been stored near the beach so there is no heavy bubbling in the vent window or quarter window frames.
We have thousands of dollars in receipts that document some of the maintenance over the years and those go with the car.
Ask questions before you buy any car . You don't want to buy one that someone claims is in good condition then have to spend thousands of dollars buying a ton of little AND big things for it.
These V8 Mustangs run very well but are not extremely fast by today's standards like some people think they are, and the throttle opening can easily be regulated to slow them down which also makes them a good choice for kids too if you are considering buying yours their first car.
PERFORMANCE
She had not driven it recently and had me check the tune up to get it ready to sell . I have not driven it very far but it seems to run and drive well . There are no squeaks or rattles . There is no whine or howling from the differential . There is no hesitation when accelerating . The transmission shifts decent . There is no play in the steering and it does not drift or wander on the highway . It pulls strong when you floor it . The car does not pull to either side when braking . There is no whine or chatter in the power steering.
ENGINE
It is completely stock and has less than 5,000 miles on it . It was professionally rebuilt using high quality parts . It was also balanced and blueprinted so it runs as smooth as it did when it was new . The cylinder heads have new valve guides and hardened seats so you can run unleaded gas without any problem . It never has any lifter noise and does not smoke when you first start it or when you accelerate hard . It was only bored out .030" so it never runs hot . It is also nicely detailed to local show level condition.
ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE
These cars only had 2 row radiators from the factory and Ford tested them in the WINTER so they never noticed that they can run a little warmer in blazing hot climates especially if they have air conditioning . Also, after all these years, the radiators can get partially clogged or the water pump impeller can get partially eaten away which further reduces cooling efficiency, therefore it is very important to determine if any car you buy runs hotter than it should, because getting one to cool properly can easily cost $600.00 or more . This car has a new water pump and a 3 row radiator . One easy way to tell if a cars cooling system is good is to simply let it idle for around 10 minutes . If it has air conditioning, turn that on also . If it isn't hurling water out like Old Faithful Geyser by then, it is probably fine . This engine has NEVER run hot.
OPTIONS
The factory options are power steering, automatic transmission, and emergency flasher.
INTERIOR
The interior is original and old looking . There are no big tears in the seats where the foam is coming out but there are a couple small split seams . The headliner has a few small tears . There is a small crack on the padded dash.
BODY
The body is pretty straight for a car of this age . It had a dent in the right rear quarter that was repaired but it wasn't huge, and if you look on the inside of the quarter panel from inside the trunk, it is difficult to see that it was repaired . Most people wouldn't even notice unless I told them but I just wanted to mention it . There are NO dents or door dings . If you look under the car you can see that the rockers and floors are laser straight and there is no heavy undercoating on the floors that could hide any rust.
RUST
If someone tells you their 50 year old Mustang does not have any rust, they typically have no idea what they are talking about or are blind or never looked or it has been "repaired" and hidden with bondo or they are simply lying or they have a miracle car (which is the least likely) . The common places for rust on these cars even in California and Arizona where there is no snow in most places is in the lower front corners of the doors where the outside rusts first, just in front or behind the rear wheel at the bottom of the panels and the floor pans . Minor rust from rainwater in any of these areas can be easily and inexpensively fixed . Rust from salted roads can cost a lot to fix . This car has a small spot in the lower front corner of both doors on the outside only that is around 5/16" inch around . There is also a few bubbles on the outside only of the right rear quarter panel behind the wheel that encompasses an area around 3" in diameter . That's it, big deal.
PAINT
It was repainted only once which was done several years ago . There are a few chips and scratches but no lifting or peeling and it still looks decent for a basic entry level driver grade car.
ADDITIONAL PARTS
My friend is a dealer for Scott Drake Products which is one of the biggest aftermarket parts suppliers for vintage Mustangs and they make very high quality parts . Some of them are from the original Ford tooling and many of them are licensed by Ford . I will sell you any parts that Scott Drake makes for 25% under suggested retail . This is FAR less than you can buy them from any vendor or from Ebay and if you plan to do some cosmetic restoration on the car like replacing the interior, this will save you a lot of money.
VEHICLE LOCATION
We are located in the beautiful city of Murietta which is near Lake Elsinore . The zip code is 92595 if you want to find it on Google Maps etc.
VEHICLE INSPECTION
I encourage you to see the car in person and drive it so you can be certain that you like it . I also suggest that you bring any Mustang or other automotive expert you have along with you if you don't know much about cars . I also have a floor jack so you can jack it up and crawl underneath if you want . I am available to show it pretty much anytime.
Come out early and bring the kids, bring the dog and the cat . We live in a beautiful area with many small orange groves and there is a forest and hiking trails right at the end of our street . You could also head over to Lake Elsinore afterwards which is only 6 miles away and rent a boat (no special license required) . We are also only 5 miles from a large outdoor dirt track where they often hold events on weekends so you could check that out if you like racing.
