First-generation Mustang Fastbacks are among the most popular American classics, and this 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback offers a compelling mix of originality, upgraded drivability, and completed mechanical work. Located in Tucker, Georgia, this Mustang is powered by its reportedly numbers-matching 289 V8 and now features a rebuilt Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter. It is offered with a clean title and an asking price of $32,500.
The seller describes this Fastback as mechanically rebuilt, with the original 289 receiving significant upgrades. The engine block was reportedly rebuilt by NAPA and fitted with Edelbrock aluminum heads, a Lunati 351 cam, a dual-plane intake, and an Edelbrock manual carburetor. Additional updates include a new engine-bay wiring harness, a Petronix electronic ignition system with 351 firing order, a new starter, alternator, voltage regulator, battery, and cables. A new exhaust system with wrapped headers has also been installed.
Backing the small-block Ford is a rebuilt Tremec 5-speed transmission, replacing the original-style gearbox with a more modern setup better suited for highway use. The seller also notes a new cable clutch and a replacement 1967 driveshaft. The rear end was reportedly rebuilt and is paired with other driveline and suspension updates.
The chassis and braking system have received considerable attention as well. This Mustang has been upgraded with four-wheel disc brakes, a new emergency brake cable, new rear leaf springs, shackles, bushings, new shocks, a larger front sway bar, and a partially rebuilt front end. The seller also notes a new power steering valve and related steering components.
Bodywork has been a major part of the project. The seller states that extensive metal repair was completed by an experienced welder, including rear quarter replacements, both outer wheel well housings, and partial rocker panel work. Small floor pan patches were welded in, and the floors are now described as solid. Originally from Kansas, the car was reportedly scrubbed and pressure-washed from top to bottom before being treated with a rust encapsulator and VHT chassis paint to help prevent future corrosion. The front and rear glass were removed so the window channels could be cleaned, sanded, and painted in preparation for exterior paint and a new interior headliner. And a new hood has been installed.
The exterior currently appears to be nearly ready for paint, with photos showing the car at different stages of work, including the underside, engine bay, body, and prior repairs. American Racing wheels and tires are installed, though the seller notes that the rear tires are older. The car also has a new fuel tank, fuel pump, sending unit, and fuel lines.
Inside, the Mustang appears to remain in project condition, with the photos showing an unfinished cabin and areas still awaiting completion. Since it was already apart, the seller took the opportunity to service the dealer-installed A/C system, and they replaced the expansion valve and drain tube. They also installed a new condenser, dryer, and all of the A/C lines under the hood, as well as a new compressor bracket. The seller has the original fold-down rear seats, some of the other removed interior components, and all the original glass. There’s still a lot of interior work to be done, but a lot of work has already been done.
This 1966 Mustang Fastback 2+2 offers the right foundation for someone looking to finish a highly desirable first-generation Fastback without having to start from scratch. With a numbers-matching 289, Tremec 5-speed, upgraded brakes, rebuilt drivetrain components, and major metalwork already addressed, this Ford could be an appealing candidate for a driver-quality build, restomod, or continued restoration.
