Vehicle Description
The year is 1964, The World's largest cheese is manufactured in
Wisconsin for the New York World Fair, US President Lyndon B.
Johnson signs Civil Rights Act & Voting Rights Act into law and
this gorgeous 1964 � HiPo Mustang rolls into dealerships for the
first time. Since then she has undergone a full meticulous
restoration. Now with only 45 miles on her since the restoration
was completed earlier this year. It is believed that only 90 �64 �
HiPo's coupes were ever produced. The Ford Mustang is an American
car manufactured by Ford. It was originally based on the platform
of the second generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car.
The original 1962 Ford Mustang I two-seater concept car had evolved
into the 1963 Mustang II four-seater concept car which Ford used to
pretest how the public would take interest in the first production
Mustang. The 1963 Mustang II concept car was designed with a
variation of the production model's front and rear ends with a roof
that was 2.7 inches shorter. Introduced early on April 17, 1964 (16
days after the Plymouth Barracuda), and thus dubbed as a "1964�" by
Mustang fans, the 1965 Mustang was the automaker's most successful
launch since the Model A. The Mustang has undergone several
transformations to its current sixth generation. It's easily the
best thing to come out of Dearborn since the 1932 V-8 Model B
roadster. But for all Ford's talk of Total Performance, it's still
clear that the Mustang has been designed and built to a price. The
necessity of meeting cost goals meant that it had to share a
maximum number of components with other models in the Ford line.
Out of this situation sprang the advantage of an extremely wide
availability of options for the Mustang, selected from the Falcon,
Fairlane and Galaxie series. Briefly, it gives the customer a
choice of four engines, three clutches, seven transmissions, two
driveshafts, four brake systems, four wheel types and three wheel
sizes, three suspension systems, and three steering systems. This
seems slightly overwhelming until one remembers that only certain
combinations are authorized, for either technical or commercial
reasons. Lee Anthony Iacocca, vice president and general manager of
Ford Division, sees the Mustang first as a family car, which meant
that it had to have four seats, with better rear seat accommodation
than is offered in the "two-plus-two" category. It's also aimed at
a not-clearly-defined market consisting of customers looking for a
not-clearly-defined combination of luxury and status. In addition
to all this, the Mustang is intended as a sports car. Especially
with the 271 HP V8 HiPo, backed by a 4 speed. You'll feel like
Capt. Stanley Tucker, driving this beauty down the road. To view
