This Black 1966 Sprint 200 hardtop is owned by Aldo Rivas of Clovis, New Mexico and is our Attitude Of The Week for September 6th, 2009. Aldo writes, I own an all original 1966 Mustang Sprint 200 which I located on Craigslist in September 2006. The Mustang was originally purchased from Muriel Carlson of Seattle WA on March 3, 1966 from Westside Ford, Inc. Seattle WA. The Mustang was posted as a 1966 Mustang Coupe, I started to get more interested when I found out it had 87,000 documented miles, and being an all original Sprint 200. After talking with the owner I found out the Mustang was his fathers who he purchased from the original owner in 1972. I drove to Lake Stevens to have a look at the Mustang and was surprised to see it in such good condition for being original. Today I have 92,000 miles on it, I only take it out on nice days. Some cool things are I have the original owners manual, all receipts from 1972 to present and top ot off the radio works. The only work I have done is a major brake job and minor carburetor rebuild. The Mustang still has the original spare tire that I took to Les Schwab to get inspected and re-inflated. The tires and wheels were purchased from Les Schwab in 1993 when the Mustang had 80,695 miles, so that calculates to the car being driven about 706 miles a year since 1993. I plan on keeping the Mustang original, sure she has some bumps and scratches but that adds to its character. Now if I only bought the 1967 Shelby GT-350 I test drove in El Paso TX in 1986 for the asking price of $7000 OBO, my life would be complete.

Front view of Aldo's 1966 Black Mustang Sprint 200 hardtop. The 1966 Sprint 200 package was promoted as the Millionth Mustang Success Sale. The Sprint 200 was a sport package specifically designed for the base 200ci 6 cylinder engine which were plentiful. Other Sprint options included center floor console; painted side accent stripes (color matched with the car's interior); deletion of the chrome rear quarter ornaments; a set of deluxe 48 spoke, blue center wire-style wheel covers; and a "Sprint 200" decal on the engine's chrome air cleaner cover.

Wimbledon White 1966 Mustang with a Sprint Package 200 A, 120 hp (at 4400 rpm), 200 cubic inch, inline 6 cylinder engine. Due to the popular demand of the 289 cubic inch V8, 1966 Ford introduced the "Sprint Package 200" followed by what we think might have been an "A" for automatic transmission and "B" for manual. Ford was not very proud of this solution to the engine shortage so the Sprint Package threw in several standard option upgrades for free (center console, courtesy lights, side accent paint stripe color matched with the car's interior, and the deluxe wire-style wheel covers) and advertised the package as a "Limited Edition". The engine on all models came with decal that read "Mustang Powered Sprint 200" on the chrome air cleaner. Most books have the "A" Sprint option listed as Manual transmission and "B" as Automatic. This car is an "A" model according to the invoice and appears to have an automatic transmission although the data tag is hard to verify. We also have a
1968 Sprint with the same situation but the invoice clearly states Sprint "A" and automatic transmission.

Dash close-up, interior view of the 1966 Mustang. The optional delux steering wheel came with simulated wood grain, I certainly like the standard one better.

Door plate of the 1966 Mustang Sprint 200. 65A is the standard hardtop coupe body, M is the Wimbledon White paint, 22 is blue trim, 16A assembled the 16th of January for 71 Los Angeles. Wish we could read the Transmission code to see if this is an automatic to verify that Sprint "A" meant automatic transmission.

Invoice for the Wimbledon White 1966 Mustang. The Sprint 200 Package A is clearly listed (200 cubic inch engine with possibly original automatic transmission). Along with the free options. This car has been repainted since it lost its side accent stripe. The standard base hardtop 1966 price was $2416, so you can see the Sprint Package in this case was only $79.16 more. You got a less powerful engine (the standard engine was a 200hp, 289ci, V8 (compared to the Sprint 200ci, 120hp, in-line 6) but you got other options $50.41 full-length center console, $13.90 accent stripe, $58.24 wire wheel covers, $33.31 white wall tires, and etc.

Millionth Mustang Success Sale, the Sprint 200 limited edition package was offered mid 1966 when Ford worried about inventory problems with the first V8 level upgrade 289ci engine.
