I took a 1966 Mustang Coupe in lieu of some money owed to me. I don't know anything about this year Mustang. A quick perusal of eBay showed quite a few 66's for sale, and a few listings highlighted 'A' code, and, at least one went on to say that all the smog equipment was intact and operational. This Mustang I have is an 'A' code with all the smog stuff intact. Could anyone fill me in on the story here? The guy I got the car from owed me quite a bit of dough, so I'm interested in selling it ASAP and getting a good price for it. Thank you.

How many miles are on the car? Auto or manual? Post up a bunch of interior and exterior pics. What options does it have?

Other than the fact it's a 66 A code car, you left out everything else. There's nothing for us to tell, we're not mind readers.

Disc brakes were an option. Not std equipment.

Quite right. Many, many, many A code were not equipped with disc brakes. Any V8 could be, but strange as it sounds, disc brakes were NOT popular.

My A-code didn't come with discs either

Post a bunch of pics and how much you need to get for it and we'll either give you one of these or one of these
