1966 Ford Mustang Fastback — Silver, 4-Speed, Inline Six with Period-Correct Detail Throughout Why This Car Is Special The 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback is one of the most recognizable shapes in American automotive history, and the fastback body style is where the design logic is most convincing. The long roofline sweeping into the rear deck gives the car a proportional completeness that the coupe and convertible simply do not have. Ford sold just over 499,000 Mustangs for the 1966 model year across all body styles, but the fastback — officially called the 2+2 — accounted for roughly 35,000 of those units, making it the least common of the three body styles that year. That scarcity is part of why fastbacks consistently command more attention in the collector market than their coupe counterparts. The VIN on this car decodes to a Dearborn, Michigan assembly plant build, a 1966 model year, the fastback body style, and a six-cylinder engine — all consistent with the specifications presented here. The 'T' in the engine position of the VIN confirms the 200 cubic inch inline six, and the transmission code confirms the four-speed manual. That combination is a detail worth understanding, because it tells you something about how this car was originally configured and sold. The 200 cubic inch inline six was Ford's standard engine for the 1966 Mustang. It produced 120 horsepower and was known for its durability and smooth power delivery. It is not a performance engine by the standards of the era's V8s, but it is a correct and honest engine for the car. Pairing it with a four-speed manual transmission was a deliberate choice — the buyer who originally specified this car wanted the engagement of a manual gearbox without stepping up to a V8. The result is a lighter, more balanced car that is genuinely pleasant to drive on public roads. Replacement parts for the 200 six remain widely available, and the engine's mechanical simplicity is an asset for anyone who plans to...
