The Ford Mustang needs no lengthy introduction, for we have written about it several times. In brief, it was the car that kicked off the whole ‘Pony Car’ segment when it was released to the market in March 1964 and continues in 2021 with the sixth generation Mustang. It’s a car that’s loved by a myriad of segments, and has been equally accepted as boulevard cruiser, status symbol, track missile, drift weapon and drag king. The last segment is the one to which this 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe will appeal, as it’s been tastefully modified to drag spec. It comes from Arizona with just 1,646 miles on the odometer.
This 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe started life as a green 289ci coupe and has been repainted in a clean white suit at some point. It sports the iconic triple taillights and has been lowered, with tubbed wheel wells to accommodate the 15” Centerline drag radials of 31x18.5x15 at the rear with shortened rear axles, with 1993 Cobra Spares polished 15-inch wheels with 145-section rubber at the front. Large side exhausts on both sides allow the engine to sing its song. The hood has been changed to a forward-flipping one, and a custom aluminum scooped intake beneath the hood helps the engine to gulp plenty of air. Apart from these, the body is relatively stock Mustang. The interior is black and has a five-point steel pipe roll cage installed for safety. The rear seats have been removed, and only the two front racing bucket seats remain, allowing you to take a passenger along for the ride, and possibly terrorize them as well. The floor is done with gray carpeting, a center-mounted brushed stainless steel gauge cluster plays host to the gauges except the tachometer, which is mounted in the driver’s line of sight. A B&M shifter actuates the transmission, and a removable wood-rimmed steering wheel faces the driver.
This 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe started off with a 289ci V8, but has had an engine swap at some point, to the 302ci (5.0L) unit that we see here. It’s fed through a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and drives the rear wheels via a C4 3-speed automatic and Ford 9-inch rear end. It’s got Cobra headers and ribbed valve covers and is fed through a trunk-mounted fuel cell.
