1966 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2
The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobiles known as the pony cars. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition.
This 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2 is an incredibly handsome example of the iconic American muscle car which features a varied and interesting history file, and has evidently been subject to an earlier restoration which was performed to a very high standard. This smart example of the breed would make an ideal companion for relaxed weekend drives, and an excellent addition to any collection of Americana.
