1966 Ford Mustang
The 1966 Mustang would receive few changes from the previous models.
Gone was the economy minded 260 V8 and the Ford Falcon style instrument
panel. The new instrument panel introduced the oversized dual speedometer
tachometer style well known in mustangs. In fact, this style would
be brought back to the new 2005 Mustang.

Hardtop, Convertible, Fastback
GT: Included 2 high output V8 options (289's), fog lamps in the
grill, side stripes, dual exhaust tips, gt badges on the fenders.

interior. All vehicles had blue dual stripes and no back seat. Motor

Shelby GT-350H: Special black with gold mustangs made for Hertz
