Today I saw online in the local classifieds a 5 year old restoration of a red 1966 a code 289 fastback no rust complete shiny paint 4speed black interior with rare split front bench it was listed at $13000..... I thought this seems like a great deal it really looked pretty decent but I wasn't in the buying state I just look daily.....well I just checked again and it's ad is gone ....which I assume it was sold.......

Either that or the scam-artist got busted by the Canadian equivalent of the FBI and they pulled the listing. You may also have avoided a huge headache and disappointment. Always look on the brighter side.

If something sounds to good to be true, it most likely is.
I'd say you made yourself $13,000 richer

If it's not split, how does one get into the back seat?
The seatbacks fold forward like on any 2-door Ford such as my former '66 Galaxie 500. The one-piece cushion and folding back rests were in literally millions of Fords of the era. That doesn't mean that the cushion is split and each side adjusts fore-aft individually which is what I know as a split bench. The Mustang bench was a little different in that it had a 3rd section in the center unlike the Galaxies for which each side's backrest was just 1/2 of the total seat width.
