The introduction of the Mustang in 1964 created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling with its long hood and short deck proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators. Since it was introduced five months before the normal start of the production year, the earliest Mustangs are widely referred to as the 1964½ model but were marked by Ford as a 1965. Standard interior features included adjustable driver and passenger bucket seats and an AM radio. This particular example was optioned with the 225hp 289ci A-Code V8, a C4 Cruise-O-Matic transmission, A/C, a center console, power steering, front disc brakes and the highly desired Knock-Off wheels. It was completely restored in 1999 at which time the original engine was sent out to Motor Works Inc for a complete rebuild. At the same time it was changed from its original color of Honey Gold to Rangoon Red which looks awesome with its black interior and Knock-Off wheels. The current owner had some issues with the transmission shifting properly and the engine overheating so he had the transmission rebuilt and a new aluminum radiator installed just a few months ago. Everything works properly including the A/C which blows ice cold. The paint is starting to show a little wear and tear upon close inspection but looks awesome from 10 feet away. It was recently serviced and is in need of nothing but a new home. Based on its present condition and the current N.A.D.A. values, we would appraise this vehicle at $45,139.00.
