Vehicle Description
We're all on the lookout for a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang convertible,
but this is a standout amongst those rare few. It was born a D-code
289 car, and the research shows all the right signs of that rare
block is still under the hood today! Plus, a ton of awesome
features and the rare color combo makes this quite a distinctive
icon that's up for grabs.
The factory-correct Wimbledon White is a great way to represent
this historic car. After all, a white drop-top was used to help
debut the Mustang line. Plus, you can tell they understood the
significance of this car with the quality of the respray. So this
sunshine-friendly convertible looks great out in the daylight. The
chrome bumpers and trim also have the look of quality. This car
keeps its appearance quite correct, right down to the wheel covers,
and it's easy to understand why the look wants to remain stock.
With only around 28,830 convertibles produced during the short 1964
1/2 run, it's one of the rarest versions of the first-gen
Mustang.
The black roof has a timeless contrast against the white paint, but
for true distinction, you'll want to power it down to reveal the
crisp blue interior. The seats, carpeting, door panels, dash,
center console, and steering wheel are all part of the sea of blue
and the condition is a reminder of this car's commitment to
quality. There's even a blue convertible boot to properly complete
the full upholstery package. There are a few well-integrated
upgrades. Some are easier to notice, like the blue
over-the-shoulder seatbelts. Other upgrades are subtler, like the
period-style air conditioning now runing on R134a (likely needs a
recharge.) And this significant classic was meant for driving with
front bucket seats, the grippy steering wheel, and this even has
the desirable Rally-Pac with tach.
When you open the hood, the golden valve covers signal this is
something special. This is a D-code convertible, and so Ford
allowed the 289 under the hood. That means this example help to
both launch the Mustang name and the mighty 289's reputation.
That's why we're thrilled to have what's believed to still be the
original motor under the hood. It's a correct 1964 D-code with a
build date two weeks before the car. You'll find other 1964 1/2
correct pieces, like the generator, so this really represents it
history nicely. More than just a collectable, it's also great to
drive. The V8 fires up readily as it inhales from the four-barrel
carburetor. It feels confident out on the road, and there are even
nice driving features like the correct three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front
discs.
Complete with owner's manual, this is an exceptionally rare pony
car that's also a great one to enjoy the drive. So if you love a
classic you'll take everywhere and talk to everyone, call
today!
