How many 1966 Mustang GT's were built? Be prepared to be suprised!

Ford built 607,568 mustangs in 1966, which is a "one year production" record that still stands even today. However, the GT (especially in the fastback body style) is ultra rare!

607,568 Mustangs built
- 82% were coupes (499,75)
- 12% were convertibles (72,119)
- 6% were fastbacks (35,698)

The Ford Mustang "community" generally agrees that about 4% of Mustangs made were GT's. This means out of the 35,698 fastbacks built in 1966 only about 1,427 were factory GT's!

This particular 1966 Mustang GT fastback is painted in its factory Silver Frost color. Only about 3% of total production in 1966 were Silver Frost.

Therefore, out of the total 607,568 Mustangs built... only about 42 cars came as a GT fastback in Silver Frost. This is a pretty rare care!

  • 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.

    I had a 1966 GT with the standard 225 hp 289. It was originally silver.
  • @edcain3676
    Amazing That There Probably Are Many Thousand GT Clones,But At Least It's Of One Of Our Favorite MUSTANGS!!
  • @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.

    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.
  • @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!
  • 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.
  • 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.!!!!!
