1966 Ford Mustang

1966 Ford Mustang Convertible â?" 289 V8, Wimbledon White over Red, Cruise-O-Matic Why This Car Is Special The 1966 Ford Mustang convertible sits at an interesting crossroads in the model's history. Ford had already proven the Mustang concept beyond any reasonable doubt with the 1964½ and 1965 cars, and for 1966 they refined what was already working rather than reinventing it. The result was a cleaner, slightly more polished Mustang that outsold even the record-setting 1965 model â?" Ford moved over 607,000 Mustangs for the 1966 model year, making it the highest-production year in first-generation Mustang history. Within that enormous production run, the convertible occupied a specific role. It was the most expensive body style in the lineup and represented a smaller share of total output than the hardtop or fastback.
