"Mustang! Fastest million a new car ever had. And here's the sale to kick off the second million. Hardtops, convertibles and fastbacks..." was the Mustang advertisement for the beginning of production for the 1966.
Mustang offered the 'Millionth Mustang Sale' promotion, which included personalized nameplates and motorized Mustang GT toy cars for only $4.95. After only three model years, in 1966, Mustang became the third best-selling individual nameplate in the American industry. Changes included a floating 'corral' around the Mustang horse on the grille; 'three-toothed comb' trim on the side coves (convertible & hardtop only); a new instrument panel; and federally mandated safety items such as seat belts, padded instrument panel, flashers, and electric windshield wipers and washers. One of the new options was an Interior Decor Group for $94.13 which included four Mustang horses branded into the seat vinyl commonly referred to as the 'Pony' interior. Base model prices were $2488 for the hardtop, $2519 for the fastback, and $2650 for the convertible. Engines offered were the 120hp (200ci 6-cylinder), 200hp (289ci V8), 225hp (289ci V8), and 271hp (289ci high-performance V8).
