1966 Ford Mustang

The 1966 Ford Mustang stands as the definitive exclamation point on the pony car's introductory era. While the '64½ gave the world a new category, the 1966 model refined it into an American icon. This particular example, finished with a thoughtful selection of factory options, represents the perfect balance between a spirited cruiser and powered pony car. Under the hood sits a 289 cubic inch V-8, paired with a two-barrel carburetor mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The inclusion of power steering and power brakes transforms the handling from a workout into a leisure activity, making it remarkably approachable even by modern standards.
