Mustangs fitted with the GT Equipment Package landed in 1965 as a way to turn the little pony into a more potent pony. The package included the famous fog lamps installed on the grille, disc brakes, an upgraded instrument panel, and V8 engines.
The Mustang GT wasn't necessarily a hit, but Ford sold over 15,000 units in the first year on the market. I couldn't find any specifics, but it's believed the fastback accounted for most orders, followed by the coupe and the convertible.
It's safe to say a Ford Mustang GT convertible is a rare find, especially if the condition you aim for is a showstopper.
The 1966 Mustang GT convertible in these photos has been looking for a new home for at least two years, as it first landed online in early 2022. It has already been restored to look like a new Mustang, now carrying a rebuilt engine, redone mechanics, and spotless metal.
eBay seller roguebee says the overhaul also included major metalwork, as they cut out the rusty parts and replaced them with steel. The Mustang eventually received a professional repaint and a new power top, so it's now in flawless condition, ready for a collector's garage.
And yet, nobody seems to want this Mustang GT convertible, possibly because the owner doesn't want to let it go cheaply. However, considering it's been searching for a new home for at least two years, it's probably time to lower the reserve and let the GT leave for a new garage.
There's one little thing I must highlight. Two years ago, when I first came across this Mustang, the same owner claimed the car spent 25 years in a garage. They now claim the vehicle has been sitting for 35 to 40 years, so I think this deserves some clarification, especially if the buyer is a collector specifically interested in such stuff.
Otherwise, it's hard to find something to complain about, as everything works, including the emergency brake. The 289 engine under the hood runs like a new block, so the Mustang is ready to take you anywhere on its wheels.
As I said, the owner won't let the car go for pocket money; they want $49,000 for it. The bidding started earlier this week, and the top offer is now $1,000, but it looks like the bidders have already lost faith that they could unlock the reserve. The owner didn't reveal the reserve's value, but it's safe to say the top offer must increase significantly, especially considering the BIN price.
The car is parked in Cotuit, Massachusetts, and you should contact the seller to discuss all the details, including the confusion caused by how long it has been sitting.
