The fastback versions seem to command the most money out of the 1965-66 Ford Mustang run. While 1.2 million cars were built overall, only about 10% had the fastback body style. The seller has a ’66 fastback, but it’s a roller that seems to be in bits and pieces beyond the shell itself. Located in Pendergrass, Georgia, it’s available here on Facebook Marketplace for $16,000 OBO. If you want an engine or transmission, that may be extra. Thumbs up to Moparman for the tip.
When the Mustang debuted in mid-1964, the fastback wasn’t yet in the mix. Coupes and convertibles were offered, but you had to wait until the Fall of 1964 for the official 1965 model year to begin to score a fastback. Of the 1965 and 1966 era, the 1966 fastbacks may be a little harder to find, as half as many were produced for some reason (36,000 vs. 77,000). This example has a 5-lug pattern on the wheels, so this would have been a V8 Mustang (289 cubic inch) when it left the factory.
No history is offered on this Ford, and it looks to have been well-picked over at some point. Many of the photos show boxes of parts and various pieces here and there, so it may only be somewhat complete when you inventory everything. Its drivetrain is long gone, but the seller may be able to help with that, though forget about numbers-matching. We’re told it has a black interior and comes with the desirable fold-down rear seat.
The seller has indicated a date that the ad will be coming down. But makes no mention of what will become of the Mustang should it not sell by that date. If you’re looking for a blank slate project to start on, maybe this is it, but what repairs will be needed to the body beyond cobbling together all the mechanical bits?
I see $1600.00 as a reasonable price.
$16,000 HaH! They better come back down to planet earth with that price. And to suggest it may cost more with the engine is even more laughable for a Mustang that probably is 75% rust.
