All you need is an open road, low gears, high revs and a V8 Mustang Fastback. - Ken Miles
And we can't argue with that. Because you simply cannot hide that smile when you start the 4.7-litre V8! The Mustang was introduced in 1964, along with the Chevrolet Chevelle and the Plymouth Barracuda. All three cars were quickly labelled as 'pony cars'. A name that the mustang immediately drew a line under; this racehorse is anything but a pony. Its American flair, roaring V8 sound and wonderfully soft-suspension suspension are hard to compare with anything else. When the weather is nice, we soon catch ourselves making 'unnecessary detours; definitely not the quickest route home!'
Our 'Stang' is Wimbledon White and has the black luxury interior. She was fully nut and bolt restored 2400 kilometres ago and her technology was completely modernised at the time. For instance, the engine runs on modern ignition, all four wheels have power-assisted performance disc brakes and the dashboard is partly digital. And for the real enthusiasts among us; a Magnum-5 gearbox, with which you can conquer the prancing horse yourself. If you dare.
Your Spotify can simply be played through the concealed radio and speakers. No concessions on the 'oldschool' style, but the complete conveniences of our time. She was born in 1965, in Metuchen, New Jersey. One of the three factories where Ford produced its racehorses. This is where her current engine, the 289 cubic-inch V8 block with 'a double barrel carburettor' was assembled. Does sound like a serviceable American Cool Classic, don't you think?
