1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback, Authentic GT. Description
Rare 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback. This is a true GT. Not a Clone. This is a very nice car and was restored approximately 11 years ago having only 3000 miles put on it since the restoration. Always garage kept. It features a V8, 289 motor and 4spd. manual transmission. Wheels are the 5 spoke Magnum 500 15 Inch. Summit Racing intake, Holley Carburetor and headers have been added for better performance. The paint and body on the car are outstanding, showing minimal wear. Interior is in excellent condition, deluxe pony interior along with a full length center console and Rally Pac. Both Tachometer and Clock work. It runs and drives great. I get the thumbs up whenever I take it out and it attracts a lot of attention. It still retains the original buck tag which has the P10 designation, which means its a true GT. Also it has the reinforcement plates behind the back seat to accommodate the dual exhaust hangers. Which you can view in the pictures. This is a great car that I think anyone would take pride in owning. I'm happy to take more pictures for serious buyers. I do have this car advertised for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

They also had many factory modifications that are hard to duplicate after production. Because different plants produced Mustangs in different ways, not all rules are firm and fast. but there are some of these rules that must be met!
The very basic rule is that every GT must be either a "K" code car or an "A" code car built after mid February 1965, no exceptions. The GT must have a dual exhaust system with exhaust trumpeters that exit through a special rear valance with 2 exhaust openings. Because of these exhaust openings, the rear bumper guards were omitted. The bracket bolt holes were sealed with small rubber plugs. To accommodate the dual exhaust, special exhaust hangar reinforcements were used on the rear hangars behind the rear seats.
The GT's exterior had a small GT badge on each front fender and GT stripes that ran from the rear of the front wheel well to the front of the rear wheel opening. They did not receive the standard M U S T A N G or M U S T A N G 2 + 2 emblems so there should not be any holes drilled and patched from these. Rocker molding were deleted and not an option. 1966 Mustang GT's received a special GT gas cap.
The front of the car received a set of fog lights mounted on horizontal bars. There will be two holes punched in the front of the radiator support for the wires to run through. There will be a fog light circuit breaker and a fog light switch that is mounted inside the car. There are several locations where the switch was mounted so that is not a determining factor. One thing is that whenever the fog lights are turned on, the taillights also come on. After market switches do not have this option.
There will be no little "C" side scoop ornamentation on a GT.
Mechanically speaking, the GT was built with a quick ratio steering gearbox. They had a stiffer suspension and heavier (thicker) front sway bar. GT's received heavy duty shock absorbers. Along with the beefed up suspension, GT's were equipped with a larger single master cylinder, a proportioning valve, disc brakes and a brake pedal that was labeled "Disc Brake".
The interior received the standard 5 dial analog instrument cluster and fog light switch mounted underneath the left side of the dash
