Ford Mustang 1966 - 289 V8 2-Door

1 Previous Owner, We are thrilled to offer a truly unique piece of cinematic history, the 1966 Mustang Hero Car from Guy Ritchies blockbuster, Operation Fortune. While we supplied two Mustangs for the production, this specific vehicle was the star of the show, driven by Josh Hartnett alongside Aubrey Plaza during an extensive and thrilling chase scene. Beyond its celebrity status, this Mustang is an exceptional machine that began its journey at the Ford factory in San Jose, California, and was originally sold in sunny Los Angeles.This original C Code 289 V8 Mustang has been treated to a comprehensive rotisserie restoration. During this process, the car was stripped to bare metal and any necessary metalwork was meticulously repaired, ensuring the fabulous condition you see today. While originally finished in antique bronze, the car was repainted in springtime yellow several years ago, and we have photographic evidence of this high quality work. To meet the requirements of its film role, the Mustang is currently finished in a stunning metallic red wrap, perfectly matching its onscreen double.The performance and drivability have been significantly upgraded to modern standards. The engine has been fully rebuilt and is now paired with a brand new five speed manual gearbox featuring a Hurst shifter and a classic white pool ball gear knob for an authentic, engaging feel. The addition of electric power steering, electronic ignition, and front and rear disc brakes makes this classic incredibly capable on the road. It sits proudly on seventeen inch grey and polished alloy wheels, completing its aggressive yet timeless stance.Step inside, and you will find a fully upgraded interior that balances luxury with vintage style. From the headlining to the carpets, every detail has been refreshed. The cabin features the highly desirable Deluxe interior package with pony emblem seats and the addition of rear seat belts for safety. The dashboard is a standout feature, boasting turned alloy fascias and white KUS dials. While a full stereo system is installed for your convenience, the real soundtrack is provided by the incredible rumble of the rebuilt V8 engine.This is a rare opportunity to own a verified movie star that is as mechanically sound as it is famous. Whether you are looking for a standout performer for your local car meets or a conversation starter for your collection, this Mustang is ready for its next leading role. You can even see the car in action by viewing the Operation Fortune trailer on YouTube. The only question remains, are you ready to be the next star to sit behind the wheel?
