The original Ford Mustang carved out a whole new niche in the automotive world when it debuted in April 1964. It was unlike any car before it, specifically targeted at four disparate groups: two-car families with some measure of disposable income; young drivers of limited buying power; young women seeking low-maintenance transportation; and older drivers in search of something new and sporty. With three different body styles, more than 80 available options and dozens of exterior and interior color and trim choices, the Mustang could be personalized to an extent never seen before in the showrooms of America. Demand for the new car exceeded the wildest expectations, except those of Ford Division Vice President Lee Iacocca, who ordered Mustang’s initial production quota raised to 360,000 units. Ford sold 70,000 Mustangs in the first 30 days of production; mere months later, in the fall 1964 issue of the fledgling “Automobile Quarterly,” automotive writer L. Scott Bailey confidently predicted, “When today ripens into memory, I feel confident that the Mustang will have earned its niche as an immortal Ford.” Those words would ring true through the years in ways that even the visionary Bailey could not have conceived, the Mustang becoming an icon not only of the American automobile industry but of American pop culture. Secretary’s car, grocery-getter, status symbol, sports GT, all-out racer: the Mustang could be all those things and more, and it all began with cars like this 1966 convertible. Professionally restored and finished in show-quality Candyapple Red paint, it showcases a generous number of optional extras that allowed buyers to make Ford’s pony car all their own. Equipped with the C-code 289/200 HP V-8, a C4 3-speed automatic and power steering, it is accessorized with white-stripe tires on styled steel wheels, a luggage rack and an engine dress-up kit. Beneath the power-operated black soft top is a matching Pony bucket-seat interior with wood-grain steering wheel, a center console, Rally Pac instrumentation and a pushbutton radio.
