1966 Ford Mustang
1966 Ford Mustang Coupe – Original AZ Car - C Code 289ci V8 - Factory A/C!
Introduction and History:
Here is a beautiful 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe, a true, rust-free Arizona car. This "C-code" Mustang comes with its factory 289ci V8, automatic transmission, and factory air conditioning. Having spent its entire life in Arizona, this is confirmed by its DSO number, showing it was sold new in Phoenix, AZ. We recently acquired this car from a gentleman's collection in Kingman, Arizona, where he owned it for over 25 years. With only 58,000 miles, believed to be original, this coupe is a rare find, offered to the public for the first time in nearly three decades.
Highlights:
Rust-Free Arizona Car: Preserved by the dry Southwest climate, with zero rust and a stunningly clean underside.
Single Repaint in Original Tahoe Turquoise: Shows beautifully as a nice driver.
Factory A/C and Low Mileage: Only 58,000 miles, believed accurate.
Completely Dry Underside: No undercoating, showcasing a rust-free, bone-dry underside as pristine as they come.
Aqua Interior: Correct Aqua vinyl interior in very nice condition.
Equipment and Options:
C-Code 289 V8 Engine: Reliable 2-barrel 289 engine that runs smoothly.
Automatic Transmission: C4 automatic transmission shifts great.
Factory Air Conditioning
Bucket Seats with Aqua Vinyl Interior (Trim 27)
Original AM Radio: Factory AM radio, preserving the car's nostalgic charm.
Factory Hub Caps with New Tires: Brand new whitewall tires.
Known Flaws:
Courtesy lights and horn are non-functional.
Heater blower motor is not working.
Fuel gauge is not working.
Factory A/C Needs Service: The A/C system is complete and seems to kick on, but it will need to be serviced and charged with freon.
Condition:
This Mustang is in great driver-quality condition with a rust-free body, original sheet metal, and no undercoating, exposing an uncommonly clean, dry undercarriage. Originally a Tahoe Turquoise car, it received one very nice repaint over two decades ago, which has aged gracefully with only a few minor imperfections. The Aqua vinyl interior is in excellent condition, most likely redone at some point, with a perfect steering wheel and an unmodified dash. The car's fit and finish are excellent, showcasing this unaltered classic.
The car was sitting for the past 5 years, and it has recently had the carburetor professionally rebuilt, a new water pump installed, new fluids, a tune-up, a new heater core, and new tires. It now runs and drives great, but may need additional sorting out as you drive and use it due to its long-term storage. That said, you won't find a more solid Mustang out there—this car's fit and finish are excellent, showcasing an unaltered classic ready to enjoy.
Ownership History: This Mustang was originally sold in Phoenix (DSO code 75) and has stayed in Arizona its entire life. The previous owner, a Mustang enthusiast, kept it in his collection in Kingman, Arizona, for over 25 years, meticulously maintaining it and preserving its original character. Now, for the first time in almost three decades, this classic is available for purchase.
