It might be torn apart, rusty, and missing the drivetrain, but this is a real deal Mustang GT Convertible! Reader Philip D isn’t going to get around to restoring it, so he’s listed it as an Exclusive in hopes of finding a good home for it. It’s going to need a complete restoration, but if you are going to restore a car, a Mustang is always a good choice! It comes with a clean title and all the parts in his photos. You can find it in McMinnville, Oregon with a $1,950 asking price.

you’d think that the guy would take a minute and vacuum the leaves and dirt off the floor pans do you could get a look at them, This is one rotten pony, thinking it wasn’t a Washington car or it sat on the ground. Parts there and a title. Good luck. Not for the faint of heart, seen worse brought back!!

Emberglo. Pony interior. 289, 4-speed. Factory wheels or period correct aftermarket. No ugly ass 20 inch rims, no drivetrain modernization exercises, no electronics, just a nice, period ride that wouldn’t freak anyone out if it turned up in 1966. Springtime Yellow / black would work OK also, I suppose, but Emberglo just really does it…
Emberglo is such a great colour !
I think I’m confused. I had three mustangs and in the mix was a 66 GT Fastback. My car was w a 289 HiPo, solid lifters and made 271 hp. The VIN also had the designated “K” for the GT. Lastly it had the pony interior. Is the car advertised really a GT??????
66 Gt came with the K code but most had the A code 200hp 289 2 barrel autolite 4100 carb.
I haven’t seen this many unusable parts since yesterday.
The old term, “Beating a dead horse,” comes to mind. Or in this case, pony.
If you’re going to claim it’s a real GT, you should probably include some supporting evidence. The only clue I see is a GT instrument cluster. Even this rolling tribute to entropy should still have a few of the more obscure identifiers left on the chassis.
I’m torn on this one…if it is a genuine GT, someone with mad skills, lots of time, and passion, this one could and should be saved…I have two of those character flaws, and it’s not mad skills….
@Bobby: A-code 289 was 4-barrel, 225 horsepower, not 200. The 2-barrel 200-hp C code was not offered in the GT — had to be either the 225 hp A code or 271 hp K code.
@CCFisher: The 5-dial instrument cluster was used on all ’66 Stangs, not GT-only like in ’65. So 5-dial cluster in ’66 does not indicate a GT.
Really, this a decent price. So close to me too….i can afford this and I can do the work to bring it back…just no room at the moment….GLWTS!!
I will take it Steve 805 223 4108
