1966 Ford Mustang GT 289: Regular Car Reviews

We drive a classic Mustang. It's full of nostalgia from a time before our birth. This is a 1st gen Mustang. Also today is an opposite day. Roman is doing the narration and Mr. Regular is singing and rapping.

My dad bought a '66 Mustang as a cheap, used car to drive to work. He didn't intend to keep it more than three or four years. Nearly 52 years later, we still have it.

Bravo, sir. That was an excellent review of the '66 Mustang. My experience with that model Mustang began with my sister and her new husband in 1968, when just after getting married, they bought a '65 Mustang convertible. I was only....I was younger then so I never got to drive it...not that they would let me, of course. He was a 'hot rodder' and loved that car...so I went with his judgement and my time riding in it. Zoom ahead a number of years later and I was able to acquire a '66 Mustang convertible. Every time I drove it was a major flashback. It still had the same feel and 'aroma'...but this time I got to drive it. It was in less than great/good shape, so I drove it 'on occasion'...like The Summer. My boss liked it when I drove it to work because he thought it gave our small parking lot 'class' ( because despite being a rollin' wreck...my opinion...it did still Look Good. ) Especially when a client would see it and ask 'Who's car is that?" He'd answer; "Oh...one of my employees.". No, compared to my then 'daily driver'...the Mustang wasn't much. But it DID have style, it had History..by then brand Mustang was 'legendary'. One of the good things was my daughter grew up riding in it...now she has an appreciation for cars of that era looks, compared to what she calls the body style of modern cars as 'electric razors'. So...Mustang Magic, I guess. Perhaps as your review kind of hinted to; With a work of art, sometimes its what the viewer of that work brings to it that makes the Art...art. I know my Mustang was in shambles mechanically, its body had 'some places' that needed attention and so on. But...it was My Car, it was a Mustang and the same body style of another car that was a part of a good time in my life. All in all, a Good review. I learn new stuff about the cars you've reviewed. The '60 Falcon...was quite eye opening. Thanks...Keep up the good work.

[@RingoYote]

[@MalikCarr]

I thought that was what the Mercury Cougar of that era was for. It's a Mustang, but it's got a smoother ride and nicer interior and more boosted steering for your feminine sensibilities.

[@BoostedPastime]

Personally I think that the Camaro has ALWAYS been more masculine.

[@George_Azeria]

Whoops. I always thought I was a man but since I like that car I guess Im not

[@RingoYote]

MalikCarr a lipstick company did a promotion with FoMoCo in 1968 that gave away a hot pink mustang, and there's an ad with a woman holding a grocery bag with the tagline "be the talk of the grocery store" ads like that would NOT fly today because its insanely sexist

I'm watching this at work, and I almost screamed out in laughter when I heard Mr. Regular say "Opposite Day!"

The word for the feeling of nostalgia for a past that you have not personally experienced is called anemoia. It's quite an unusual sensation, to feel as though you're remembering fond memories of a time you never lived through.

[@Harv72b]

*percussion* Opposite day!

[@PrairieDad]

Solid video, Roman.

[@WastelandArmorer]

All the high beams on cars from back then were on the floor. When you get used to them its actually kinda nice.

[@XampleEditing]

I'm 18 and was fortunate enough to be able to completely rebuild a 66 mustang that's black and red. I love it. This video is perfect. The gas cap, high beams, and the heat controls make the car so unique. I don't have power steering and the transmission is indeed weird. As for the hazard lights, mine are on the steering column which is aftermarket to replace the "spear o matic" oem part. I love it at the base level and plan on changing a few things, might swap a 5 speed into it some day. Many younger guys like me don't appreciate the classics.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

More Roman. I like him.

[@Shmoozo55]

Oddly enough, that dimmer switch on the floor was the norm for that era. It was what you would find in Chevies, Plymouths, Ramblers, Lincolns, and pretty much anything else you can name that came off an American production line. When the dimmer switches began to migrate up onto the steering column stalks it rubbed a lot of drivers the wrong way. It felt wrong that it wasn't there on the floor a bit up the firewall from where your left toe normally rested. The left-toe tap that was used to switch between high and low beams was a move that a lot of us had grown up with and it did not seem wrong or weird in any sense at all at the time.

[@thomaswyrick4648]

I've got a 67 with the same specs. For a car that you can buy all day long for < 20k, it gets all the looks. Every two blocks somebody gives you a thumbs up or a "nice car".

[@brianstraight9308]

It always makes me chuckle when I hear people talk about older cars and the high beams switch being a button on the floor. I mean, I've never driven a car with this but I remember most of the cars the adults around me had when I was child that had these.

[@andwhatshouldbe]

Lol I can't believe so many people are hating on Roman doing a review. First of all, it's a mustang - why would he not write some words and then read them? Second, RCR is a team and the creative process is undoubtedly collaborative. Remember the VW Jetta review? The one where they each did their own takes on the car? While I agreed with Mr Regular, that the 4th gen Jetta is a car whose blandness is rivaled only by the POS hyundai elantra, Roman's take on it was different enough in all the right humanistic and nostalgic ways, that it actually felt like a breath of fresh air amidst the fiery hatred of revolt I've always felt toward the monotony of V dubs. Also, I'd like to say that although youtube is a bit of collaboration between the viewers and the source, the video creators are entitled to their freedom to run their channel however they see fit. It's your decision as the viewer to learn to expand your mind and try listen to a voice that isn't in the same meter and timbre as everything else on the radio. Don't become the monotony the 4th gen Jetta, and in certain aspects, this '66 mustang represents. I can see why someone could call this car boring, but that doesn't at all mean it's uninspired. Wish it was original and unrestored but these days you can only ask for so much from these pioneering classics

[@alansmith2162]

The Rapunzel simile KILLED me. Epic writing guys!

[@Kneong]

The problem is you got the secretary's first Gen mustang, my first car was a '66 coupe with a 3 speed manual, no power anything, and a modified 289. It was a poor man's v8 mustang and was fun as hell. It turns well if you have balls and is just quickly enough to be dangerous. (BTW I am 20 now and It definately has a love from people from my generation)

[@RogerOThornhill]

Love the interiors of 60s Mustangs, think they're beautiful. Don't know why Roman wasn't impressed.

[@1964FordMustang]

What a nice color. Perfect and gratulation to keep it as original as possible. Nice video and comments.

[@kobathor]

My grandparents owned a 66 Mustang and my dad wanted it so badly. But, his younger brother wanted it too, so my grandparents sold it to some rando on Craigslist. That car was cool. My grandpa installed A/C (they live in Texas after all) and a handcrafted wooden center console. Riding in the back of that car with no seatbelts in 2010 was like a dream. What a cool car. Wish I knew where it was now.

Helpful hint for Ford engineers: Please have someone sit in your cars before putting them into production. True in 1966. True today. (See "ergonomics".)

[@RoadsideGarage]

Some things to note and correct.. Lee Iacocca wanted to change the image of the Mustang which was known as a secretaries car into a muscle car, hence the 289, the HiPo, the Boss 302, 351, etc. Front disks were a rare option, most had 4 drum brakes. Compared to todays vehicles they are rough, but all of them handled that way. The pony interior was a special option and not standard. You had to order it, but it did come standard on the GT models. Standard interior came directly from the falcon in 65 and 66. The seats bolt right in. And the rare front bench seat came directly from the falcon as well as many of the suspension parts right down to the drums and resevoir.
