The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible : Classy ClassicWhen you think of cruising in the sunshine with the top down, are you thinking of a 1966 Ford Mustang convertible? 
The 1966 convertible, like its 1965 Mustang predecessor was an instant hit, selling 56,409 as a standard convertible, 12,520 as a "luxury" convertible and another 3,190 cars as one of the rare 1966 convertible cars with the bench seat option. 
Some of the most sought after convertibles came equipped with the classy wire wheel option with its simulated knock off hubs. 
And of course, the powerful 289 V8 option makes these drop top cars even more valuable and desirable. 
The Engine choices included the 200 cubic inch six, which produced 120 horsepower. The base 289 2barrel carbureted engine, produced 200 horsepower, with an optional 289 cubic inch High Performance engine pumping out 225 HP. The special High Performance 289 cubic inch 4V engine with a high engine produced a, for the time, hefty 271 horsepower. With only 2,500 lbs to throw around, this was a quick convertible by anyone's standards.
