Show-Quality 1966 Ford Mustang GT Tribute | Restored, Blueprint 302 V8, Upgraded Everything, Only 1,900 Miles on Drivetrain
This 1966 Ford Mustang is a professionally restored GT tribute coupe finished in a striking white-over-red Pony interior color combination, and powered by a freshly installed Blueprint crate 302ci V8 paired to a rebuilt automatic transmission. The car was purchased approximately five years ago by the seller, who undertook a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic overhaul intended to make it drive and look better than it did when new in 1966. With over $100,000 invested, this example has been rebuilt to GT specifications or better—including new front disc brakes, MagnaFlow dual exhaust, GT-style badging, and correct 4-barrel carburetor setup—but it’s being sold as a GT clone, not a factory GT.
Since completion, the car has accumulated just 1,900 miles on its rebuilt engine and transmission. From its rust-free undercarriage, refreshed front suspension, and tasteful electronic gauge conversion, to its upgraded cooling system, wheels, tires, and power steering, every major system has been addressed with the goal of creating a dependable, high-performance classic that starts right up and performs with modern confidence.
Exterior
This Mustang coupe presents beautifully in its classic Wimbledon White finish, accented by red GT-style side stripes and polished chrome trim. The body is straight and rust-free, with tight panel fitment and professionally repainted surfaces throughout. The seller notes that even vulnerable areas like the inner wheel wells and trunk panels show clean painted metal, free of corrosion. The stance is purposeful thanks to upgraded suspension and new wheels and tires, and the car rides on refinished GT-style rims wrapped in fresh rubber.
All exterior lighting and brightwork are in excellent condition. The MagnaFlow dual exhaust system exits cleanly out the rear valance, complementing the GT-style appearance and providing a deep, throaty tone.
Interior
Inside, the car features a refinished Pony interior in two-tone red and white, accented with black carpeting—an uncommon and eye-catching combination for the year. The upholstery, door panels, dash, and headliner all show in excellent condition. The cabin has been modernized subtly with the addition of a Classic Instruments digital dash cluster, designed to mimic an analog appearance while offering enhanced accuracy and reliability. The speedometer and fuel readings are spot-on, with no bouncing or lag at lower speeds—an issue common to many original Mustangs.
Every switch and accessory is reported to function properly, including the heater, horn, wipers, and lighting. The power steering system, steering pump, radiator, and coil/leaf springs were all recently replaced, and the result is a car that performs as confidently as it looks.
Mechanical
Power comes from a brand-new Blueprint 302ci crate engine, professionally installed and tuned for reliable street performance. The engine is paired to a rebuilt automatic transmission, both showing only 1,900 miles since installation. The setup includes a Quick Fuel 580cfm four-barrel carburetor, new exhaust manifolds, and the previously mentioned MagnaFlow dual exhaust, giving the car both spirited performance and an aggressive sound.
Cooling is handled by a new aluminum radiator, and the car does not overheat, even in typical summer conditions—a common issue that’s been eliminated with this build. Steering is tight thanks to a new power steering unit and pump, and the front suspension has been completely rebuilt for modern drivability, including new coil springs, leaf springs, and drive shaft. The rear end has also been replaced, and power disc brakes up front ensure confident stopping.
Driving Experience
From the moment you turn the key, this Mustang fires up without hesitation. The seller notes that the car drives better than it did in 1966, with sharp throttle response, smooth automatic shifting, and tight steering feel. With extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, this is not just a show car—it’s a fully sorted, street-ready Mustang that can be enjoyed confidently.
It’s quick, refined, and reliable, making it an ideal weekend cruiser, show contender, or even a potential daily driver for the enthusiast who wants modern performance in a classic package.
