This 1966 Ford Mustang coupe is a standout in every sense, finished in the rare and radiant Emberglo Metallic—a factory-correct color that instantly sets it apart from the crowd. But this classic isn’t just about good looks. It’s a carefully curated blend of vintage Mustang charm and Shelby-inspired performance, with tasteful modern upgrades that make it a joy to drive and admire.
Engine and Performance
Beneath the hood lies a spirited 289 cubic inch V8, paired with an FMX automatic transmission for smooth, responsive cruising. Performance enhancements include an Edelbrock intake and carburetor, long tube headers, and a dual exhaust system that exits through iconic GT trumpet tips, giving this Mustang its unmistakable growl. Cooling is handled effortlessly by an aluminum radiator, while power steering and power brakes ensure the car remains planted and controlled through every turn. Up front, Wilwood disc brakes provide modern stopping power wrapped in a vintage silhouette.
Exterior Presence
This Mustang’s commanding presence is enhanced by Shelby-inspired styling, including a bold Shelby hood scoop, GT fog lights, and a GT rear valance that hint at its performance capabilities. It rolls on a set of striking 17-inch Magnum 500 wheels, offering a perfect balance of vintage flair and contemporary stance. Cobra valve covers and a matching air cleaner top off the engine bay with just the right amount of show-car polish.
Interior Comfort and Style
Inside, the car continues to impress with a Deluxe Pony interior, trimmed in matching Emberglo vinyl with bucket seats and a center console. A wood-grain steering wheel adds a touch of elegance, while kick panels with built-in speakers and an aftermarket radio provide entertainment that complements every drive. Air conditioning is seamlessly integrated, ensuring comfort even on the hottest cruise nights.
