1966 Ford Mustang Convertible

This restored and rebuilt 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible was a 60th birthday present to the seller from his wife. His first car was a '66 Mustang, so his wife acknowledged the sentimental connection. They have used the Mustang convertible for Sunday drives with the grandkids, but the car mostly sits in the garage, so the seller wants someone else to enjoy it. The 289-cu.in. OHV V8 is original, as far as the seller knows, and he doesn't think it has been rebuilt. The -C- in the VIN indicates this Mustang left the factory with a 289 two-barrel carburetor engine that was rated at 200 horsepower.- if the car sits for several weeks cold starts require some cranking to get fuel to the carburetor. The car had some drivetrain leaks repaired a few years ago but he doesn't know of any current leaks. The automatic transmission -shifts like an older car shifts,- . The Vintage Burgundy paint is rated as being in good condition , who adds that there are no dents, crunches, or blemishes. The black convertible top works as it should with no leaks. The glass and seals are all rated as -good condition- and all the lights work. Regarding rust, there is none currently and he doesn't know of any past rust repairs.  The black vinyl upholstery has the -Pony- embossed horses on the upper seat cushions. The car has the full-length center console with wood trim and the wood-rimmed steering wheel. The convertible boot is black vinyl. The seller rates the upholstery and carpet as in good condition. There are no missing interior trim parts and all the gauges function correctly, who adds that the original radio doesn't work. The trunk photos show what appears to be a new mat and matching spare tire cover. - The steering wheel points straight, but the seller feels it is loose compared to modern cars. The car has power steering, with no leaks. I haven't performed any suspension service in the 700 miles he has driven the car and he knows of no problems with the brakes, shocks, or bushings. The provided photos show a Wilwood master cylinder, which suggests upgraded disc brakes. The tires were reportedly new when the seller bought the car in 2014, but DOT date codes are not visible in the images provided to confirm this. There are no problems with styled steel wheels.  This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible was restored and rebuilt by Wilkey & Kring Motorsports, whose wife purchased the Mustang from them in 2014. I have only driven the Mustang 700 miles in nine years, which is why he wants to sell.
