This 1966 Mustang GT has had some repair work performed on it in the past, and the owner is candid enough to point this out to any potential buyers. On the face of it in the photos, the car looks to be quite solid, but there’s nothing quite like a personal inspection to confirm the condition of the car. The Mustang is located in Jay, Florida, and is listed for sale here on eBay in a No Reserve auction.

The body of the Mustang looks quite reasonable, although the seller does state that there have been some repairs to the rear panels, and some to the lower front. It looks like some of the front repairs are visible in one photo, but there is no obvious visible rust on the outside of the car. This shot of the floor looks relatively clean, although there is some surface corrosion in evidence. It looks like the pinion seal on the rear end has leaked, and this has allowed oil to spray up onto the floor above the rear end. There has also been a repair to the floor pan at some point, but things do look fairly encouraging.

The interior of the Mustang presents quite well, although there are a couple of minor things to address. The first is the fact that the car has been fitted with an aftermarket CD player. Thankfully no-one has cut into the doors or door trims to fit speakers, but they have done so in the rear parcel tray. This is a California car, so the sun has taken a toll on the upholstery, although that toll is quite light. The top of the rear seat has been damaged by the UV rays, but the rest of the interior trim has survived quite well. There is a cover on the dash, so we can’t see the state of the dash pad.

The Mustang was originally a K-Code car, but unfortunately, the original engine has been replaced at some point. The engine is still a 289ci V8, and the owner says that it is a strong runner. The car is also fitted with an automatic transmission. The engine bay looks quite clean for a car of this age, and there doesn’t appear as though there are many major deviations from original.

This 1966 Mustang seems to show a lot of promise. It is quite a clean car, and there doesn’t appear to be any major issues with rust. As I previously said, there is no substitute for a personal inspection. This is especially true with first generation Mustangs, as they can be so prone to rust problems. The fact that this car has spent virtually its entire life in California is a reassuring factor, as cars from that area tend to be more solid. The owner has set the opening bid for the Mustang at $15,00 in a No Reserve auction, but at the time of writing there have been no bids. However, there are 19 people who are watching the auction, and with the steadily increasing values that cars like this are continuing to experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if the bidding starts fairly soon.
