Vehicle Description
It's always desirable to find a 1964.5 Ford Mustang. But when that
one also has sought-after V8 power, four-on-the-floor, and a
well-coordinated style, you realize that this is a true classic
that you're truly going to want to drive it to show off
everywhere.
This is truly a prized possession for a Mustang fan. After all,
getting your hands on the first batch of this legendary car is a
special club that gets more limited every year. But more than just
history, you want this one for how well it's presented. Red is such
a great way to represent the first run of the original pony car,
and this one has the added distinction and sophistication of a
black vinyl roof. The overall finish has a driver-quality style
where you have a nice shine but nothing so fancy that you'll be
afraid of the pebbles on the road. So while you can always
update/upgrade the paint, this gives you a classic that's easy to
drive on a whim. Plus, the clean brightwork, styled steel wheels,
and distinct added side trim make for a car that will be admired
for more than just its history.
The black vinyl roof on the outside is a nice preview of the full
black vinyl interior. It's dark, clean, and attractive. There are
good upgrades for a solid cruiser. The AM/FM/cassette stereo with
equalizer means better driving music, and the oil pressure gauge is
quite handy. And you get the classic Mustang driver-oriented
pieces, like the grippy three-spoke steering wheel, front bucket
seats, and optional center console.
The VIN tells us this is a D-code coupe. That's an important
distinction to Mustang fans. It means this was born with a 289
cubic-inch V8. This is the motor that would become a legend in pony
car circles, but it was only available for part of the already
short run of 1964.5 cars. So with this kind of history, it's great
to have a year-correct block still under the hood. But this one
doesn't fully stand on tradition. That's why you'll spot worthwhile
upgrades like the finned Mustang valve covers and a Holley
four-barrel carburetor. And because this is a strong-runner and a
driver's classic, you'll really appreciate the control of a
four-speed manual car (the trim tag even tells us it was born this
way.). There's also power steering, power brakes, and wide BF
Goodrich T/As. And just to keep this the most ideal cruiser
possible, there were new brakes added within the last few months,
including front discs.
This is an exceptional classic that also wants to be a solid
driver. So if you love pony car distinction, you know you want this
early V8 Mustang. Call today!!!
