Not Your Average 66

The shift from 1965 to 1966 brought significant changes to the Mustang lineup. Engine adjustments and fresh aesthetics defined the 1966 Blue Oval models, distinguishing them from their predecessors. Clear differences in exterior emblems and grille style set the 1966 Mustangs apart. However, the car we're examining here is far from the usual 1966 Mustang. It's a stunning custom creation with fiberglass fender extensions and an aggressive stance. The fenders and dual-scoop hood come from Maier Racing, and Forgiato provides the striking staggered wheels.

Coyote Power

Under the hood, a modified 5.0-liter Coyote V8 from a 2015 Mustang GT powers the vehicle. Sporting a Voodoo-style intake manifold, red valve covers, and an aluminum radiator with an electric fan assist, the engine's potency is managed by a 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission.

Plush Cabin

Inside, the transformation continues with black leather seats featuring diamond-stitched centers. Modern features like a Vintage Air climate control system, power windows, and a remote key fob push-button starter elevate the experience. LED lighting and a 12-inch subwoofer with a five-channel amp add to the ambiance.

Modern Grunt

While the exact power figures remain undisclosed, it likely matches the 2015 Mustang GT's 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. This automotive masterpiece blends nostalgia with modern comfort, boasting both visual appeal and impressive performance. 

On The Clock

This beautiful piece of automotive craftsmanship is currently listed for auction on Bring A Trailer. At the time of this writing, there is less than a day remaining until the close of the auction, and the highest bid sits at just over $30K. We'd venture to guess that figure will rise significantly in the coming hours. Whether or not the reserve will be met is another question entirely.
