Vehicle Description
Who hasn't wanted a Red convertible sportscar sometime during their
life? Well here is an opportunity to buy a classic first generation
Mustang drop top, in Red, with bold white stripes, that would
nicely satisfy that desire.
When Ford designed the Mustang, they created a whole new look of a
long hood with a short trunk that set the standard for Pony cars.
This hood has a scoop in the center and is held down with chrome
hood pins sitting over the iconic galloping Pony in the grill. The
Red paint shines brightly and catches the light along the tops of
the fenders as it rolls down the road. Bold white stripes start up
front on the lower valence, tucking behind the thin chrome bumper
and then up and over the hood. A triple white stripe runs along the
rocker panel underlining the body crease down the side of the car
and connecting the fender wells. The back of the car is classic
Mustang with the triple brake light lenses with a Mustang fuel
filler cap between them. The bold white lines continue over the
trunk and down behind another sharp looking chrome bumper with a
couple of exhaust tips peeking out from under it.
Open the door and you will find a black interior that is neat and
clean with splashes of chrome. The door panel has a shape that
mimics the body crease on the side of the car and outlines it in
thin chrome piping. There is a polished rocker trim panel and the
bucket seat back has its structural bracing exposed and polished to
a high shine. There is a deep dish, wood tone steering wheel with a
Mustang center button sitting in front of a stock dash panel
trimmed in thin chrome with the speedometer in the center flanked
by four smaller engine gauges for fuel, water, oil, and voltage.
The seats have woven inserts in the center surrounded by smooth
vinyl trim, and the T-handle shifter for the automatic transmission
is mounted in the center console. There is an AM/FM/Cassette player
in the dash with four speakers for your listening pleasure and an
armrest with cup holders from Classic Consoles for your comfort and
convenience.
Under that pinned down hood you will find a very desirable 289 V8.
The air topper has a Holley Equipped sticker on it identifying the
carburetor handling the fuel mixing duties and chrome Ford Racing
valve covers along with a chrome filler neck adding some shine to
the engine. Blue spark plug wires are complimented by blue wire
harness looming and an engine block painted Ford blue. Stock
exhaust manifolds send the gasses back through a dual exhaust
system with glass pack style mufflers for a good sound and an
aluminum 6-blade fan keeps things running cool. Power is sent back
through a 3-speed automatic transmission to the rear axle mounted
on leaf springs while the front suspension is a coil spring setup
with a sway bar. The rubber meets the road through BFGoodrich
Radial T/As mounted on chrome 5-spoke alloy wheels all around.
