Vehicle Description
Wow, this is a lot of Mustang for not a lot of money. You'd be
hard-pressed to find a duplicate to this C-code pony with a
strong-running 289 V8 engine and a 4-speed for the asking price.
Slick white paint, a beautiful black interior, and a lot of
charisma make this a fantastic way to get into the Mustang hobby
without a major investment.
Repainted in Wimbledon White, this handsome coupe shows very well.
Restored a few years and living the life of a pampered family
member ever since, the familiar Mustang sheetmetal is crisp and
sharp thanks to expert restoration work. Ford built a lot of
Mustangs, most of them coupes just like this, but that doesn't mean
they're not handsome, timeless cars, and except for perhaps a
Corvette or a Porsche 911, there aren't many cars that are more
recognizable around the world. This one has been nicely finished in
a way that keeps it subtle but elegant, which means no stripes,
scoops, or spoilers! It's not perfect, but very respectable and
ready for the your local car show. With bright rocker panel
moldings, and shiny chrome on the bumpers, and a grille accented
with GT fog lights, it's nicely detailed in the way you'd want your
Mustang to look. It's not a fake anything, not dressed up like some
Shelby wanna-be, just a clean coupe that totally nails the factory
look. The result is straight and appropriate, making this a car
you'll be proud to show at any level because it fits together so
well.
A handsome black bucket seat interior is a very desirable
complement to the white paint, and it's authentically restored with
great detailing and attention to the little things. Look how neatly
the seat covers fit, with just the right amount of padding
underneath to create a supportive seat that doesn't look
over-stuffed. Modern Dakota Digital gauges are all fully
functional, another detail that you just don't see in cars priced
like this, and they're augmented with a set of Auto Meter auxiliary
gauges mounted on top of the dash. A Mustang-spec AM/FM/Cassette
stereo lives in the dash, which is a nice upgrade if you're going
to drive the car regularly, and the A/C unit under the dash is
powered by R134a refrigerant that fills the cab with cold air.
There's a 4-speed shifter sticking out of the transmission tunnel,
so you know this neat coupe means business. Add in a color-matched
Grant GT steering wheel, correct door panels, plush carpets, and a
taut headliner, and it's hard to see how anyone could come out
right-side-up financially with a sticker price like this. Interiors
this nice are EXPENSIVE. Out back the spacious trunk is finished
with correct plaid mats and houses a full-size spare and jack
set.
And this isn't just some 6-cylinder beater, either. For that price,
you're getting a legitimate C-code 289 cubic inch V8, nicely
detailed and running great. Someone took the time to do it right,
as there's Ford Blue paint on the engine itself, a high-performance
finned Cobra air cleaner assembly with matching finned valve
covers, and an upgraded ignition and bright yellow plug wires. And
take a look at the custom mural underneath the hood, pretty slick,
right? On the small block there's an Edelbrock carburetor on top of
an Edelbrock intake manifold for a few extra horsepower, and it
spins to life easily with a nice bark from the Flowmaster dual
exhaust system. The 4-speed clicks through the gears with
authority, and highway-friendly gears out back make it an excellent
highway cruiser. Underneath it's very clean and solid, with lightly
dusted floors, just enough to look good while adding a layer of
protection. American Racing Torque Thrust wheels look awesome,
especially wrapped in those sporting 225/60/14 BFGoodrich
white-letter radials.
This car gets almost everything right: look, sound, and feel. If
you want one of the last truly affordable early Mustangs that don't
need a full a restoration, this Mustang is a great bargain. Call
