66 Ford Mustang
The first Mustang was produced in 1964 and the model quickly became an American classic. The 1966 Ford Mustang was tweaked very slightly from the original model, not very much however. One of the most notable changes was the addition of the stylish "floating horse" emblem placed upon the front grille. Other style changes were made as well like a new gas cap, embellished rocker panel pieces, and hood lip accents. Also noticeable were the different features between GT and standard edition models which were very similar in appearance before the 66' model year. Overall Ford made the original pony car like its predecessors with more than ample power.
The most common engine found on a 1966 Ford Mustang is a 6 cylinder with 200 cubic inches. A three speed manual transmission was the standard equipment for all models. There is also a "Cruise O Matic" automatic transmission that was offered as well. A special "K" model was produced which was offered with the automatic transmission for the first time. Also available for the 66' Stang is a V8 engine which could be turbocharged on upper level trim packages. Perhaps the most important aspect of the Mustang throughout the years is the fact that it offered owners a very powerful power train at an affordable price.
Both Coupe and Convertible body styles were offered for this model year along with a few special edition trim packages. The trim packages offered include the I-6 coupe, V-8 Coupe, I-6 Convertible, V-8 Convertible, I-6 Fastback, V-8 Fastback, and the GT 350 Fastback. There isn't a lot different as far as interior accessories between these models. The main aspect which differentiates the trim packages is the type of engine offered along with a particular body style. These original Mustangs didn't have a lot of extra amenities, but most cars of the day lacked the modern features we take for granted.
A new instrument cluster had been introduced as well for the 1966 Ford Mustang. The manufacturer believed that the redesign would make the car easier for drivers to manipulate while driving. New backup lights have been added as well for both style and functionality. The side scoops were made with chrome unlike previous years and had 3 separate splits for wind. For its day the 1966 Mustang was one of the most stylish vehicles available and also offered a great deal of what were the most modern features any car could be equipped with.
The Mustang has always been known for its reliability and relative safety. Being made of solid material and superior materials it gives drivers and passengers a great chance of escaping serious injury in car crashes. Both frontal and side impact crashes for modern models are scored high, and older generation models like the 66' were very similar. Fuel economy was actually rather decent as well for a car with that much power with an average consumption of 20 mpg for city driving and 27 mpg on the highway.
There is no wonder why the 1966 Ford Mustang was one of the most popular cars of its day, and remains very popular with the car enthusiast of today. People who are looking for a piece of American history that want a pony car that is relatively easy to find parts for and restore must consider one of these classics cars. It is very difficult to say that there is another older car that is more rewarding to own and fun to drive.
