1966 Ford Mustang

Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is excited to offer this brilliant Kawasaki Green 1966 Ford Mustang restomod for sale. This little gem has quite a few surprises hidden, and some that are "not so hidden". The Kawasaki Green (PPG) paint is not for those who prefer to remain unnoticed, and it looks great from any angle! The gorgeous Eleanor E-2 body kit adds to the visual feast, and furthers the uniqueness of this custom Pony, with its custom front, hood, and rear. Under the hood of this '66 is where a lot of the "hidden" surprises are. The engine is a 4.6L 32-valve quad-cam V8 Cobra engine, and it's sporting lots of shiny goodies - polished CAI tube, upper intake, and valve covers really give it a finished look. A giant Flex-a-Lite aluminum radiator with its thermostatically controlled electric fan keeps the Cobra engine well within its comfort zone. The MagnaFlow muffler equipped dual exhaust starts with a set of JBA "shorty" headers, and it has the subdued, but potent sound that lets bystanders know that this car is no slouch. Behind the 4.6L Cobra engine is a 5-speed manual Tremec T-45 transmission that is more than capable of handling what the Cobra powerplant can dish out. The updated Ford 8.8" rear end houses a limited slip differential and some highway-friendly 3.08:1 gears. The front suspension is a Heidts Mustang II kit and is equipped with lightweight tubular control arms. A Wilwood master cylinder and Wilwood front calipers add enhanced stopping capability to the 4-wheel disc brake setup. Maier Racing Enterprises full-length subframe connectors improve overall stiffness and add to the already sure handling that this Pony delivers. The custom Shelby-style aluminum wheels (17"x8" front, 17"x9" rear) are shod with P225/45ZR17 performance radials, which have plenty of tread life left. Inside, the custom synthetic leather covered ProCar front buckets provide both comfort for the long hauls, and support for spirited driving. The synthetic leather rear bench is enhanced by the dramatic Cobra emblem embroidery. The driver is kept well informed by a custom set of AutoMeter NV gauges, and will appreciate the Ididit tilt steering column, which is topped by an Alcantara-rimmed Grant steering wheel with centering stripe. Drivers will also appreciate the custom shifter setup, which moves the shift knob closer at hand, and provides a nice notchy feel. The custom retro-styled AM/FM head unit (with USB ports) provides the tunes, if you ever want to listen to something other than the awesome sound that the car puts out. This custom Pony won't last long - so stop looking and grab it before you miss out!
