THE FORD MUSTANG
Introduced in April 1964 at the New York World's Fair, and conceived by Lee Iacocca, the Ford Mustang created an overnight nationwide sensation. It offered a winning combination of sporting performance, personal luxury, and crisp styling that spawned a new 'Pony Car' market and encouraged stiff competition from Detroit's other major automakers. Part of the Mustang's appeal was the wide range of options; Ford offered the ability to truly personalize a Mustang. A buyer could specify anything from a relatively tame six-cylinder coupe to a fully equipped convertible with one of three high-performance V-8 engines. While Ford projected first year sales of around 100,000, this mark was reached in a mere four months, making the Mustang's introduction the most successful in automotive history. By 1966, one million Mustangs were being driven on American roads. To this day, the Mustang is the only one of the original pony cars, Camaro and Firebird included, to have remained in continuous production since its unveiling.
THE CAR OFFERED
This Wimbledon White droptop left the Dearborn, Michigan factory on the 18th of November in 1966 and equipped with the most potent V8 Ford offered in the 'Stang, the pavement shredding "Challenger High Performance" K-Code HiPo V8. Breathing through a throat four-barrel carburetor and featuring a 10.5:1 compression ratio, this premium fuel only mill put out over 70 extra ponies over the base V8 and just about double what one got from the straight six. The car was also optioned with a C-4 automatic transmission and a 3.50:1 differential. The interior is featured in a Black with Black trim, the same color combination it was delivered with when new.
The current owner acquired this Pony Car around 2013 and has sparingly driven the car since purchased. The recipient of prior restoration work, this example shows very nicely today. With the summer driving season upon us, there is no better way to take advantage of the weather and the roads than in a well-optioned Mustang like this!
