This pony wears new Prime Well PS850 radials, size 205/70R14 at all four corners. Each tire surrounds a Magnum Pony-style wheel cover. The tires are in very good order while the wheels are in excellent shape.
Under the hood is a 200 CID Thriftpower straight six-cylinder engine. Backing the engine is a three-speed manual transmission. New parts include a clutch, brakes lines, new front end, bushings, shocks, ball joints, tie rods, etc.
Inside, the car has an all-new black interior with seat covers, cushions, tracks, springs, carpet, headliner, sun visors and stereo. The instrument panel, with a full set of gauges, plus a Sun tachometer lashed to the steering column, and the inner door liners are in excellent condition, as is the Hurst shifter. Completing the interior is an AM/FM radio.
The 1966 Mustang debuted with moderate trim changes including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers and gas cap. A large number of new paint and interior color options, an AM/eight-track sound system, and one of the first AM/FM mono automobile radios were also offered. It also removed the Falcon instrument cluster; the previously optional features, including the round gauges and padded sun visors, became standard equipment.
The 1965 and 1966 Mustangs are differentiated by variations in the exterior, despite similar design. These variations include the emblem on the quarter-panels behind the doors. From August 1964 production, the emblem was a single vertical piece of chrome, while for 1966 models the emblem was smaller in height and had three horizontal bars extending from the design, resembling an “E.” The front intake grilles and ornaments were also different. The 1965 front grille used a “honeycomb” pattern, while the 1966 version was a “slotted” style. While both model years used the “Horse and Corral” emblem on the grille, the 1965 had four bars extending from each side of the corral, while on the 1966, these bars were removed.
Competition to this car in 1966 included Chevrolet’s Corvair and Chevy II, Dodge’s Dart, Ford’s own Falcon, and Plymouth’s Barracuda.
