Vehicle Description
This Ford Mustang includes several special one-off features and
Ford family provenance. Documentation (included with the sale) from
Jean-Jacques Browaeys, Director of Communication of Ford France,
dated January 3, 1991, states: "The Ford Mustang serial number
6F08K285715 was the vehicle commissioned by Ford for Henry Ford II
during his stays in France. It benefited from a special finish,
paint and leather upholstery." Powered by its matching-numbers
289ci K-code V8 engine. The high-performance engine features a
10.5:1 compression ratio and produces a stout 271hp. The V8 is
topped with a 4-barrel carburetor as well as a solid-lifter
camshaft, heavy-duty valve springs and high-flow exhaust manifold.
Power is routed through a 4-speed manual transmission with 3.89:1
rear gearing. The exterior received a special finish by Ford's
styling department painted in Raven Black with a specialized
high-gloss sheen and special white leather top over a tan leather
interior, all features not available in standard-production
Mustangs. The Mustang has bucket seats from what would become the
1967 Cougar, and the car reportedly served as a Ford Design Center
prototype for styling that would later be used in some of the
interior details, including door panels, of the 1968 Cougar. The
"HFII" logo is prominently displayed on the steering wheel horn
ring, seat belt buckles, exterior door badges and keys.
Additionally, the "Deuce's" Mustang is highly optioned with the GT
Equipment Group, AM/8-track stereo tape player, power steering,
power front disc brakes, power convertible top, grille-mounted fog
lights, dual exhaust pipes, stripes on the rocker panels, specially
styled steel wheels and a quicker steering ratio than
standard-production-model GTs. This car has spent the majority of
its life in France, where it was shown at Mustang events.
