There were 422416 standard Code 65A Mustang coupes built and 0nly 55000 CodeB Luxury coupes, as presented here, built in 1966. This Mustang also has paint code V Emberglow which was only offered in the 1966 model year. It also is equipped with just about all the options offered in 66.
The options include the following:
*Power steering
*Power drum brakes
*Dealer installed AC (currently not functioning)
*Very rare rally pack (includes tachometer & and clock)
*Full lenght center console
* 14X6 Style steel chrome wheels
*Interior Decore Group, which includes Deluxe Pony seats,Special molded deluxe door panels, Wood grain steering wheel, Courtesy door lights, and pistol grip door handles.
*Visibility Group, which includes inside day night rear view mirror, outside remote mirror, and 2 speed wipers.
The door tag also shows this car came equipped from the factory with the following:
*Paint code V........ Emberglow paint
*Interior trim code 64....... Emberglow & Parchment
*Engine code C.......289 V8 2V
*Transmission code 6........ C4 3 speed dual range automatic
* rear axle code 6.......280:1
Even though it appears as such, the C code 289 no longer resides under the hood. The factory engine has been upgraded to a 1993 Mustang 5.0 liter HO roller cam engine, however the 289 timing cover, water pump, pulleys, fuel pump, oil pan, intake manifold, and carburetor were retained. The larger 5.0 harmonic balancer and transmission flex plate had to be used for balance reasons. Also chrome try Y headers and Ford Duro Spark ignition with new distributor were installed. So you have the best of both worlds, better performance with the looks of the 289.
This Mustang has a very nice straight rust free and bondo free body with nice fitting hood, doors, and trunk lid. Very good quality, better than factory, paint job is about 10 years old and still retains a very nice shine which looks better in person than pictures show. There are however some minor chips that have been touched up, and also some minor bubbling at the lower front corner of both doors, which I hear is very very common for these early Mustangs. The hood has a very minor dent in the center, but no broken paint. Center of the roof also has a paint cut about 1/2" long These blemishes are shown in the photos. None are objectionable enough, or even noticeable enough to detract from the general appearance of this beautiful Mustang. I also have about a half pint of correct color touch up paint that goes with car.
All chrome and bright metal trim is very good. The back bumper is new.
Side and back glass are original and very nice. Windshield appears to have been replaced.
All rubber seals and weather strip is nice and soft and much of it appears to have been replaced.
Tires are BFG 215/70X14", Rears are new, fronts are 80-90%. Wheels are in good shape with some wearing of the chrome. Center caps are new.
Interior is fabulous with no tears, splits, or holes. Carpeting is new. The instrument panel, gages, and dash pad and door panels are very nice. Headliner and sun visors are nice with no staining or tears. Has aftermarket radio with cassette. Rally pack tachometer works, but reads high. Clock not working. Gas gage has some issues that I am trying to correct and might or might not work properly at auction end. Center console is very nice with new wood grain inserts.
Floors, frame rails and undercarriage are solid with no rust. Front suspension seems nice and tight. Exhaust system is tight with no leaks.
The transmission, all components of the power steering system, and most components of the power brake system were all rebuilt or replaced very recently. Also the alternator, water pump, and starter recently replaced. Optima Red top battery installed in 6-11
This Mustang runs and drives as good as it looks. It is tight with no rattles. The 5.0 liter engine provides good torque for responsive takeoffs. The transmission shifts smoothly with no hesitation, and passing gear works as it should. The odometer shows 61700 miles. No idea if this is original or not.
As pictures show the AC compressor is not currently installed, but the original compressor and all brackets will be included with the car. All other under hood AC components such as condenser coil, dryer, hoses, and wiring are still installed on the car.
I have described this vehicle as I see it, and although unintentional I might have missed something in the description, so please ask specific questions you need answered. I do truly believe it is very nice for a 47 year old car and something anyone would be proud to own and drive to local shows, however it is being offered in AS IS condition with no warranty expressed or implied. It is the buyer's responsibility to read complete description, view all pictures, ask questions, have a third party inspection, or best of all make his or her personal inspection to confirm condition, BEFORE PLACING WINNING BID, ( NOT AFTER!!!!!) Bidders with 0 feedbck must call Bill @ 502-839-8556 before placing a bid, or bid will be canceled.
ATTENTION TO ALL BIDDERS: Do not bid if you are not very serious and or do not have funds available following close of auction. I am using this site to sell this car, not play games.
Winning bidder must make a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE PAY PAL deposit within 48 hrs. of auction ending. The remaining balance of purchase price must be paid within 5 days from close of auction. Acceptable forms of payment include: Certified check, Bank wire transfer, or cash. IF paying by check, check must be cleared by all banks involved in processing of check before vehicle is released.

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model. Head over to Carsguide.com.au for a closer look.
