Body Styles (compare years, see more 1966 style information including Special Models)


Fastback

Convertible

For the 1966 model year, the Shelby Motor Company continued to modify Ford Mustangs. The first 252 units were actually 1965 Mustang bodies with 1965 Mustang trim, and are known as the "carry-over" cars. Two body styles were offered: the fastback and the ultra-rare convertible. Modifications over the 1965 Shelby are minimal - side air-intake scoops were added to force air to the rear brake pads which aided in keeping them cool, and the C-pillar sail panel was removed and replaced with triangular windows.
