Basic information and history

The 1966 Ford Mustang marks the refined first-generation design with an updated grille, subtly revised side trim and a more streamlined interior. The body is compact with a clear pontoon line and short overhangs, and the model was known from the start for its reasonable weight, simple mechanics and good upgrade options. The combination of the small block V8 and manual transmission makes the 1966 Mustang particularly popular with drivers who prioritize response and gear feel.

This example was imported from the USA and completely renovated in Sweden in 2003–2005. The body was then stripped down to bare metal, both inside and out, and painted in the original color Ivy Green Metallic . According to the seller, the current mileage is 55,000 kilometers. The engine has been rebuilt with components from quality suppliers and, according to the seller, has traveled approximately 8000 kilometers since assembly in 2018. The number of previous owners is not specified by the seller. The car is equipped and modified for improved drivability, durability and roadholding, while the interior maintains a close-to-original appearance. The information below is provided by the seller.
