For Sale: 1958 Ford Mustang in Fredericksburg, Texas

Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 22nd year in the classic and muscle car business. Here's another great example of the 'other' Mustang from The Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic machinery. When John Gladden of Gladden Products Corporation realized that he needed to find new postwar markets for his manufacturing business, he started the Mustang Motorcycle Corporation in 1946. Gladden wanted to produce a lightweight and inexpensive bike for commuting that was larger than a scooter but easier to handle than a full size motorcycle. These great-looking, mean-sounding bikes have become collector favorites and enjoy a loyal following. This 1958 Mustang Pony clearly demonstrates the styling that kept prospective owners awake at night. Titled by its engine number (S814171), this nicely restored Mustang is sporting a Mikuni carburetor, a machined (probably aftermarket) aluminum head, Burman 4-speed transmission, front brake, and a sweet custom paint job. The 320 cc Busy Bee single-cylinder engine sounds strong and healthy, with an exhaust note that actually sounds like like a miniature Harley-Davidson. Always marketed as a fun and efficient commuter bike, one wonders how many more Mustangs would exist if the company had directed their marketing at the teenagers that so desperately wanted one. These gems are big fun in a small package. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
