How many 1966 Mustang GT's were built?

[@jeffreyhayes8411]

I bought my 65-K May 1, 1965 5R08K205643 with Rally Pac, Limited Slip, Front Disc Brakes new--all 1965-K's produced only last 5 months 65 model year were all 4-speed toploaders & we added the Limited Slip 3.89 (H-code 9 inch ) which grabbed the road, the Hurst linkage as a dealer option for stronger, smoother shifts--so instead of smoking tires; HCC-AX 16:1 manual Steering... We "Launched" on take off leaving our power on the pavement instead of frying our 'cowhides' and with the next year by August, 1966 we added 7 pounds of Boost with the $665 Paxton mid August ($750 installed)... we're pulling mid 12's in the 1/4 mile at 112 at 7000RPM--your 66 Auto w/o L/S (Fords equilock), a $42.50 option with $56 Disc Brake option was a better car than the GT option--Check it out--not all K's were GT's, but after March 25th 1965 all K's had dual avindole exhaust--These were better than GT's as the suspension was the same, exhaust no worse, and no power robbing options like an Automatic Transmission or Open Axel, and its huge power robbing torque converter we're NOT allowed,. until 1966 or power brakes, or power steering. Adding Tri-power from dealer before Paxton was available and you had 312 HP , 325 Tq... adding Paxton, Weind Colt 45 Intake put our K up at 444 Hp and 390 torque on Autolite 600 CFM 4100 at Sea-level and perfect conditions (low humidity, cool weather, and high barometric pressure), giving us mid 12 times... Get your facts straight--Not all K's we're GT's and with Disc/L-slip/Rally Pac/3 dueces/4-speeds--we're a better car, a sleeper in wolf's clothing. By the way Coupes were 50 pounds lighter than the Fastback, making them quicker at the track. Convertibles were 200 pounds heavier underneath for added rollover safety--I did add the GT package too as it saved me money over the individual options--but still needed the Lim/Slip--that all came out about even with the GT deal-But an option as most K's were not GT's. Enjoy it--I still do--with top down and a 289 on 190cc twisted wedge heads and RPM Air gap intake--with stock exhaust and roller cam--makes about 120 more HP, and 70 more Pound Ft. Torque than the 271/312. Cheers Bro. JCH.

There were so many mustangs around when I was in HighSchool I didn't even want one. I thought the Shelbys were grotesque. I did eventually buy a mustang when I was out of school. And they've been my favorite car ever since.

[@MCentusiast]

Very interesting film !So my factory GT fastback -66 is one of 1427 cars made.My GT sold new by the Ford dealer Milo Brooke in Chicago. A code ,4 speed T10,power steering Wimbledon white with red standard bucket seat interior. I bought the car from the 1st owner in 2013.I live in Sweden.Really like all your clips !

[@QualityClassics]

Wow! that sounds like a really cool car. Buying a one owner car is always something special! Cheers from Texas :) We have several happy customers in Sweden... hopefully someday we'll visit.

[@ClassicKeepers]

This is still the best video on factory GT's I've seen!

[@QualityClassics]

Thank you!

[@yonusa72]

Really? The title is quite misleading, “how many 1996 mustang GT’s were made?” He totally overlooked convertible GTs and Coupe GTs, Instead focusing on this particular fast back.

[@jackkidd8438]

I had a 1966 GT with the standard 225 hp 289. It was originally silver.

[@yuvegotmale]

It looks like the wheels have the stainless ring. I was given a set of those and they cleaned up great. Painted the inserts and shined up the chrome and stainless. They look just as good as the set I bought for about $900 and they were free.

[@1964FordMustang]

very useful - thanks

[@edcain3676]

Amazing That There Probably Are Many Thousand GT Clones,But At Least It's Of One Of Our Favorite MUSTANGS!!

[@QualityClassics]

I often hear that 9 out of 10 are CLONES ..... for that reason My son and I made a another VIDEO to help people know the difference. You can go to KZbin and type in 1966 Mustang GT Verification to see the video.

[@QualityClassics]

OH yea ..... I meant to AGREE with you completely - that at least it is one of our FAVORITES

[@leeboat]

@MyRod, I'm trying to determine the rarity of my '66 Mustang GT Fastback. She's Springtime Yellow, A-Code with automatic, Black Pony Interior. I believe that I'm the third owner and about to do a rotisserie restoration. With all your knowledge of all things Mustang perhaps you can help me determine if it's one of one or one of one thousand. Thanks!

[@deniseguilmette1864]

how many gt fasback k code 4 speed springtime yellow and pony interior have been built

[@ameliahribal1607]

My 66 gt mustang was ivy green with parchment interior. Two 4 barrels 289. My brother totaled it after I had it for two months.

[@QualityClassics]

So many stories like that out there... can't tell you how often we hear that.

[@rockets4kids]

Any idea why the fastback style was so rarely ordered in this era?

[@giocannivalencia8913]

por donde se le vea, este carro no se le ve ningún ángulo malo, es un diseño digno de un genio, una obra maestra, lo podría reclamar Miguel Anguel.!!!!!

[@QualityClassics]

¡Muchas gracias! Estoy de acuerdo, es un coche hermoso.

[@LanceisLawson]

I hated the 66 fastback when was first released. However it has became my favorite version. I drive a 05 fastback now.

[@gelandewagen4376]

super legendary car and put a like for my favorite oil car

[@nomadwildcatfan]

Considering they made GT's as coupes and fastbacks, is that 4% of all mustangs produced or is that 4% just fastbacks. If that is just fastbscks, then how many of the coupes produced were GT. Another thing to look at is the GT came in 3 speed and 4 speed transmissions with the 4 speed being rarer. So if someone has a 4 speed, fastback GT, that could be a very rare car .

[@jasonm9264]

Old man has a 1966 Silver frost GT Fastback factory tinted windows, pony pack, 4 spd car, with original window sticker and all documentation. He's restoring it now and figures it's roughly 1 of 2 built with those options.

[@evantugby]

Not true without pictures.

[@jbemis71]

I have a '66 Silver Frost fastback with GT options {except HiPo eng.), Pony interior, 4 sp. BUT, it's a T5 export car!

[@radioguy1620]

I might think more people percent wise who bought fastbacks were GT buyers, but still pretty rare. course the 500 or so which became Shelbys were maybe GT's to start.

[@thespaw352]

How many are left? I have a 1966 GT fastback

[@glen6945]

289 AND 283 GREAT ENGINES

[@lorenwaggener5757]

How many 66 it's had 4 speeds? I know where there is a white 66 gt with 4 speed, that has been in a garage fo 50 years, has always been covered since it was new. Looked at it yesterday still looks new. Trying to find out what it is worth for the owner, who bought it at the factory in 1966!

[@bobagost3882]

Hello One more thing How many of the 65 GTs did the make Thanks Bob

[@johannes4821]

What about cars from 1965? How may percent were produced of 65? Also 4 %

[@lorenwaggener5757]

I know where there is one, been sitting in a garage for 50 years, looks like new, been kept covered. They would like to sell it!

[@bobagost3882]

Hi Thanks for the 66 info I have a 65 GT ,deluxe interior ,4 speed ,Fastback ,factory disks,rally pack,and in need of a restoration ,A code ect Built on 4-17-65 in California How many were built Thanks Bob

[@markmarks4343]

I was lucky enough to find a '65 Ivy Green K-Code Fastback. I have waited my whole life to get one of these and will never sell it. Any GT is a great car, but the early k fastback is the mac daddy Mustang

[@giocannivalencia8913]

Ecole, chido el GT.!!!!

[@curtislucero1331]

Yeah'Baby !!! Lov-It !!

[@QualityClassics]

Thanks!

[@benjaminhernandez9215]

Basically my Fastback had every option possible even a locking glove Department burgundy white with red interior and I believe it had the rally pack with the 8 thousand RPM or a 10000 very rare

[@so-cal3987]

There’s one on eBay currently

[@ameliahribal1607]

Are there horses on the seats

[@martydeem404]

That was only with the pony package

[@cobracharmer6178]

The coupes also came with the hi-po options.Wasn't there 1965 GT's? "Well, no one has an exact number, but the Ford community"...... of course they're going to agree because they're the ones with all the GT fastbacks. Should've never changed the original design.

[@bosnjo0134]

it this mustang like a 50 to 60k or more ?

[@glen6945]

WELL I HAD ONE

[@gmonsen]

I love this guy, but his calculations are likely very, very far off. While there were 35,000 fastbacks and 4% of all 600,000 mustangs in 1966 were GT's, you can't assume that the cluster of fastback buyers had the same probability or propensity for buying the GT package as the . It could be argued that nearly all of the fastback buyers were likely to option the GT package. Any way you cut it, there were likely only as few as 5-15,000 fastback GT's. Still extremely rare for US domestic survivors.

[@jeepguy220]

why would u alter a k code 289 hi po? car is choice! and how many k code GT convertibles made in 66?

[@williamaltizer6263]

I have a 1966 coupe can you tell me if I'm right In a 65 and 66 mustang you can turn any car into a gt since ford made it an option. Until 1967 you could not make your car a gt ford stopped that IS THIS CORRECT can you please answer this for me

[@QualityClassics]

Ford dealers did install GT "design elements" upon request, however, that does NOT make the car a REAL GT... there are many more "functional" and "mechanical in nature" items that they did not add that are the true DNA of a real GT. I'm not aware whether or not the dealers stopped adding the design elements in '67.

[@redlion9199]

Nice very nice,

[@QualityClassics]

Thank you!

[@stephanievanvugt7966]

How is it a genuine GT without A/C?

[@QualityClassics]

A/C was a separate option from the GT package.

[@benjaminhernandez9215]

I wish I could turn the clock back I had a 1966 Mustang Fastback GT fully loaded 4 speed Toploader front disc brakes 8-inch posi fog lights wood grain steering wheel Pony interior all the bells and whistles but it wasn't meant to be it's somewhere in Europe now original California Car bought in Oceanside California I was just checking owner

[@benjaminhernandez9215]

It had everything but air conditioning power steering power brakes

[@gojoe2833]

nice Mustang but aren't you causing stress on the drive train by doing good burnouts? If I had it it would be a great cruiser but I'd treat it gently giving get it the respect it deserves

[@nephetula]

Occasionally using all the performance available is what makes these cars so special and rewarding. If you're the "gently" type, then buy one with the straight-6 and and just putter around.

[@glen6945]

THE EARTH IS FLAT

[@glen6945]

WHERES MUSTANG SALLEY

[@williamdarico2369]

The values have risen so ridiculous high now you can buy a 2018-2020 Shelby 350 for less money and have a car 10 times better than these old rattle traps!

[@QualityClassics]

Some folks like both, I sure do

[@martydeem404]

My old rattle trap is making money every year I own it, the new shelby will be losing value for a long time and nobody looks twice at it

[@Virginiaclassicmustang]

Very well done... again! I replied to your initial email. Send me an email when you get a chance.

[@QualityClassics]

Virginia Classic Mustang Thanks! Yes, I received your email! Sorry, we've been busy but we definitely would love to talk with you. We'll be in touch soon 👍🏻
