$309 per month-call 636-600-4600 Simple. Wholesome. Timeless. For
classic car buffs, these adjectives are worthy goals but hard to
find in the real world. Welcome to MotoeXotica Classic Cars, where
we are pleased to present this true early1964 � Ford Mustang
Convertible finished in rare Sunlit Yellow! Built in Ford's
Dearborn, Michigan factory on May 14, 1964, a month after the car
launched at the World's Fair, it is the embodiment of those three
words. Finished in its factory correct Sunlight Yellow (code V), a
color only offered in1964 �. The car's paint and trim are great
overall condition, with only minor blemishes visible upon close
inspection. The pony's windows are clear and intact while its
lights are haze-free and look good. This Mustang's bodywork is
straight and solid, the black, vinyl, power-folding top is in very
good order, the car's engine bay is extremely tidy, the battery
looks new and the chrome blade bumpers look fantastic and fit
tightly to the body. Under the hood is Ford's base engine, a 170
CID Thriftpower inline six-cylinder (vin code U) with a one-barrel
carburetor, mated to a three-speed manual transmission (code 1)
with a 3.50:1 differential (code 5). Mustangs did not get any more
simple or wholesome than this one and this car is one of about
32,900 examples fitted with a six-cylinder engine during its first
year. This car rolls on General American whitewall tires, size
185/75R14 at all four corners. Each tire wraps around a steel wheel
topped by a factory wheel cover. Inside, the standard black crinkle
vinyl (code 96) interior is in overall great condition. The front
buckets and rear bench are in very good shape, as is the matching
black carpet while the three-spoke black and chrome steering wheel
looks very "groovy." The black, padded instrument panel and inner
door panels are in very good order and echo the rest of the
interior's theme. Completing the interior is a factory AM radio and
the Ford Falcon gauge cluster that is only found in the early
Mustangs. Since it was introduced four months before the normal
start of the 1965 production year and manufactured alongside
1964Ford Falconsand 1964Mercury Comets, the earliest Mustangs are
widely referred to as the 1964� model. Nevertheless, all "1964�"
cars were given 1965 U.S. standardVINsat the time of production,
and - with limited exception to the earliest of promotional
materials- were marketed by Ford as 1965 models. The rush into
production included some unusual quirks, such as the horn ring
bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo covered by a trim ring with a 'Ford
Mustang' logo. These characteristics made enough difference to
warrant designation of the 121,538 early versions as "1964�"
Mustangs, a distinction that has endured with purists. The low-end
model hardtop used a "U-code" 170CIDstraight-six engine borrowed
from the Falcon, as well as a three-speedmanual transmission.
Standard equipment for the early 1965 Mustangs included black front
seat belts, a glove box light and a padded dash board. Production
began in March 1964 and official introduction following on April 17
at the1964 World's Fair. Documentation includes a copy of Chilton's
Mustang Repair Guide from 1965 to 1973. Competition to this Mustang
in 1965 was limited to Plymouth's Barracuda, which launched 16 days
before the Mustang. If an uncomplicated, evergreen classic
convertible holds more appeal for you, if you're a Ford or a
Mustang fan, then you owe it to yourself to visit MotoeXotica
