This is a 289ci 2-V V8 engine. One location for the VIN is on the driver's side inner fender apron. You can see it in the lower right corner of this image. See the next image for a close-up.
Here is a close-up of the VIN located on top of the fender apron. Let's decode it! The 6 is for the 1966 model year. The F is for the Dearborn Michigan assembly plant. The 07 is the hardtop body style. The C is the 289ci 2-V V8 engine. The 311574 is the sequential unit number.
This Mustang originally came with a base level front bench seat. When restored, it was upgraded to the two-tone Pony interior.
Another shot of the white and blue Pony interior with the rare front bench seat. The 3-speed shifter has a larger bend in it to clear the seat when in 2nd or reverse.
Here you can see the horses embossed into the seat backs. The center part of the seat folds down for an arm rest.
The spare tire takes up most of the trunk.
Emberglo 1966 Mustang hardtop owned by Dale Smith from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. This was our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting January 10, 2010. Dale tells us, "I bought it from Auto Investors in Dothan Alabama in 2008. I put about six thousand miles on it this year. I am really loving the thrill of owning and driving such a beautiful classic car."
Under the hood is the original 289ci V8 engine.
The interior is two tone in color.

Here is one of the Hertz Shelby GT500H advertisements from 1966. Yes, that is a blurry image. The GT350 is cook'n. It says, "There are only 1000 of these for rend in the entire world. Hertz has them all. It's the Shelby G.T.350-H. Only Hertz rents it. Cobra engine. Disc brakes. High speed wheels and tires. Stick shift or automatic. Rally stripes. High performance shocks. Torque controlled rear axle. The whole load. Why a rent-a-car with all this performance? We could have gotten a fleet of high-powered pseudo-sports-cars. But we figured you'd want to try a champion. Not just another imitation. So we got the one car that holds the Sports Car Club of America National Championship. And you can rent this 4-seater G.T.350-H from Hertz in most cities for a day. Or longer. But only from Hertz. Two stipulations. You have to be at least 25 years old. And you have to hurry. (It's all on a first-come-first-serve basis.) So make your reservation today. One local phone call reserves your car here. Or just about anywhere in the country. Call the only rent-a-car company that offers you a championship G.T.350-H."
Hertz presents the G.T. 350-H This is the cover of one of the original 1966 Hertz brochures advertising the Mustang Shelby GT350H. It says, Shelby designed, cobra bred, Ford powered, and rented exclusively by Hertz.
This is the inside first page of the 1966 Hertz rental-car advertisement booklet for the Black with Gold striped Mustang Shelby GT350H that you could only rent at Hertz.
The Hertz Sports Car Club features the G.T. 350-H (The H is for Hertz) This exciting car is available for rental exclusively through Hertz in more than 60 cities coast to coast. The car is readily identifiable by its jet black body and vivid twin gold rally stripes from grille to rear bumper. These cars are available to business travelers who want a change of pace in motoring, by sports car owners away from home and by vacationers who consider driving an enjoyable holiday sport. Carrol Shelby, maker of the world-famous 1965 Manufacturer's Champion Cobra, took the Mustang Fastback and turned it into a high performance champion. First, he took the super-powered Ford 289 engine and "Cobra-ized" it... and he ended up with an unbelievable 306 charging horses. He redesigned the suspension geometry and came up with a car that handles with the ease of a street machine and the response-to-command of a competition car. There is an interesting note at the bottom that only the original renter of the car can drive it.
This page of the original Hertz rental brochure of the 1966 Mustang Shelby GT350H shows some of the differences between the standard Mustang and the GT350H.
The back page shows all the cities you could rent a 1966 Mustang Shelby GT350H.
