There have been two '66 Mustangs on these pages before, a Dynasty Green convertible and a Nightmist Blue GT convertible, but this Signal Flare Red car is the first 1966 Mustang coupe to grace the blog.
1966 was the last year for the original, svelte lines of the first generation 'Stangs. For '67 the car would be widened over two inches so as to accommodate big block V-8s under the hood.
You can see the tiny "289" atop the red, white, and blue tri-bar fender badges, as well as the little 289 V-badge up by the nose. That could be the regular two-barrel 289 Challenger V-8 with a 9.3:1 compression ratio making 200 gross horsepower or the four-barrel 289 Challenger Special V-8, which had a 10.0:1 squeeze and put out 225 ponies.
Other than that, it's a pretty standard Mustang, with basic hubcaps and no glamorous "K-code" Hi-Po solid lifter Cobra V-8. It's a super nice car, and almost certainly restored to this condition.
It was photographed in October of 2025 using an Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Panasonic Leica 12-60mm f/2.8-4 zoom lens.
