1966 Ford Mustang Convertible 289 V8 4-Speed – Nightmist Blue, 34k Miles, Two Owners

This 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a C-code example powered by a 289ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and equipped with a power-operated white soft top, power front disc brakes, and factory-style trim. Finished in its factory-specified code K Nightmist Blue Poly over a blue and white vinyl interior, the car retains its original color combination as verified by the trim tag. It was acquired by the seller from the second owner and shows just 34k miles, reportedly original. This Mustang is now offered with partial service records, a clean title, and a presentation that reflects careful ownership and period-correct charm.

Exterior Features

The body is finished in Nightmist Blue Poly, a deep metallic shade offered only in 1966, and features a white convertible top with power operation. Chrome bumpers, rocker panel moldings, and Mustang badging remain in place, along with correct brightwork and trim. The paint presents to a driver-quality standard with consistent gloss and panel fit. The white top contrasts elegantly with the body and complements the interior color scheme. Factory-style 14″ steel wheels wear Mustang-branded hubcaps and are mounted with whitewall tires.

Interior Appointments

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in blue and white vinyl with matching door panels and dash accents. A wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The center console houses the manual shifter, and the dash retains its original layout with factory-style switchgear. The upholstery shows light wear consistent with age, and the carpeting and trim panels are clean and well-fitted. The power top functions smoothly, and all interior lighting and accessories are operational.

Powertrain & Mechanical

The C-code 289ci V8 was factory-rated at 200 horsepower and is paired here with a four-speed manual transmission, offering a more engaging driving experience than the commonly equipped automatic. The engine bay retains a largely stock appearance, with correct Ford blue engine paint, factory-style air cleaner, and period hoses. Power front disc brakes have been added for improved stopping performance. The car starts easily, idles smoothly, and delivers strong acceleration through all gears.

Ownership & History

This Mustang has had just two owners since new and is believed to retain its original mileage of 34,000. The seller notes that the car has been garage-kept and maintained as a weekend driver, with recent fluid changes and brake service. The trim tag confirms the original paint and interior codes, and the car presents as a well-preserved example of a mid-60s convertible with desirable factory options.

Driving Impressions

On the road, the Mustang delivers the unmistakable sound and feel of a classic American V8. The manual gearbox shifts cleanly, and the upgraded disc brakes provide confident stopping power. The suspension feels tight, and the car tracks straight with no unusual vibrations. It’s a charming cruiser that blends vintage style with usable performance.
