1966 Mustang Coupe California Survivor In Sapphire Blue

Description

This 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe is an extraordinary low-mile survivor, showing just 6,997 original miles and retaining its original paint, interior, and an exceptional amount of factory equipment. Special ordered in Sapphire Blue—a color not normally offered on the Mustang—with a black interior, the car was ordered through a Shelby dealer in California and built at Ford’s San Jose assembly plant. Under the hood is the A-code 289 4V V8 paired with a C4 automatic transmission.

More than five decades later, this Mustang remains remarkably intact. The engine compartment retains its original smog equipment, power steering, dated radiator, and factory components, while the interior still features its factory AM radio. Underneath, the car remains in its original red oxide primer and even retains its original exhaust system with dated part numbers. Original dated glass, trunk mat, wheel covers, and period Firestone whitewall tires further demonstrate the exceptional level of preservation throughout the car.

Documentation includes the original owner’s manual and sales brochure, with the owner’s manual remaining in the name of the original owner who took delivery on September 27, 1966. The body has never been repainted, and the underside remains completely rust-free. With only 6,997 original miles, an unusual special-order color, original paint, and an extraordinary collection of untouched factory details, this Mustang represents the increasingly rare opportunity to own a true benchmark survivor from the first generation of Mustang production.
