After being introduced for the 1965 model year, the Ford Mustang had very quickly become the apple of the sports car world's eye, with sales dwarfing virtually every competitor and spawning a number of variants. The Mustang's wild popularity can be attributed to styling and performance, but also due to the wide variety of configurations available to the general public. For the 1966 model year, three different body styles -- fastback, hardtop coupe, or convertible -- were available with four different engine and four different transmission choices! There was something for virtually everyone - from convertible with a six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission for cruising to a performance fastback with a high-performance V8 and four-speed manual.
