Description:

1966 Ford Mustang

An original Raven Black 289 'A' code car built in San Jose, CA in October 1965 (66 cars were built from August 65, so this is an early 66 car). Standard black vinyl interior with a 4 Speed Manual transmission.
I bought this car from the second owner who bought it in 1969/70. It's a very original car, no power brakes, no power steering...this car was built to go fast.
When I bought the car it had been off the road and dry stored in a garage since about 1994, it was very solid but needed some work to get it to run again. See a list of the new parts bought for the car and the work done. The previous owner took off the tachometer, fog light etc. there were no hood springs as he wanted a quick release to fit the teardrop fiber glass hood (I have put the hood springs back on the car). His son told me his father used to take the car to the Lions Dragstrip, Long Beach CA before it closed in 72.
It has a manual Hurst 4 speed shifter, factory front and drear seat belts, the carpets look new. Headline is all original and in good condition, the radio works. It has Centerline rims with 215/60/14 wheels on the front and 255/60/15 on the rear. Limited slip diff. So apart from cleaning it up and getting it road worthy and drivable this is a very original car.
It has a clean title and fresh tags too (March 2018). The mileage is about 37,000, but I would guess that would be 137,000.
