This 1966 Ford Mustang convertible was refinished in yellow under prior ownership and is powered by a 289ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. A power-operated white soft top is accompanied by a Parchment top boot, Parchment interior trim, an AM radio, and lap belts. Power-assisted front disc brakes have been installed, and the car is equipped with power steering as well as an aftermarket dual exhaust system. This Mustang convertible was acquired by the selling dealer in 2024 and is now offered in Oregon with a Washington title.

Originally gold, the body was refinished in yellow under prior ownership and features a power-operated white convertible top, a Parchment top boot, faux quarter vents, and chrome bumpers. Bubbles in the paint are visible on the lower door corners and rear wheel arches, and chips are noted on the hood, fenders, doors, and valances.

The 14″ steel wheels wear standard covers and are mounted with 195/75 Kingstar Radial H714 thin-whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Parchment vinyl with color coordinated carpets and trim. Amenities include and a cabin heater, an AM radio, and lap belts.

Instrumentation consists of a 140-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 62k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The C-code 289ci V8 was equipped with a two-barrel carburetor and factory rated at 200 horsepower. An aftermarket open-element air cleaner with a chrome lid has been installed.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission.

The warranty number is consistent with a 1966 Mustang convertible that was built in San Jose, California, and equipped with a 289ci V8 with a two-barrel carburetor. Decoding the trim tag reveals the following information:
