According to your VIN it's a 1966, 2 door hardtop, 289 2v v8, and produced in Metuchen, NJ. At least that's what I get from http://www.mustangdecoder.com/decoder.html

the VIN stamped into the inner fender should be correct, on some cars you have to loosen the fender bolts and slide the fender out to see it.

PS. I just looked at my 65 and it's about 8 inches in front of the shock tower on the drivers side stamped into the inner fender. It also has a screwon tag on the passengers side, but I wouldn't trust that.
