This 1966 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback is sitting pretty high in the front end and that is because it does not have an engine or transmission in it. The car is for sale here on eBay with 4 days remaining in the auction and it is already bid to $6,100. Located in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, this project car is believed to be a real Mustang GT. Originally the car was equipped with an A Code 289 cubic inch V8 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission.

The black interior does not look too bad and, while the dash is warped, all the door handles and other interior components seem to still be in place. At some point, the 3 speed manual transmission was replaced with an automatic transmission and the 3rd pedal was removed. The seller states that the car is equipped with GT components and there is evidence that it was once adorned with GT badges and stripes. About 35,000 Mustang 2+2 Fastbacks were ordered in 1966 out of an overall production of over 600,000!

The Mustang’s body is riddled with rust through in a number of the usual places. The buyer admits that the car undercarriage is crusty. The optional A code 289 cubic inch engine was equipped with a 4 barrel and produced 225 horsepower and 305 lb ft of torque in 1966. The next step up was a K Code 289 cubic inch engine that was beefed up with improved engine components and produced 271 horsepower and 312 lb ft of torque.

As you a pushing this car up on the trailer, you get to enjoy this nice menagerie of custom paint on the tail panel. I think it is hard to go wrong with a red Mustang Fastback and black is my favorite interior color. Is this a project that you would take on? How long do you think it would take to get this car back on the road?
