ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, SILVERSMOKE GRAY 1964 1/2 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE, 289 V-8, EXTREMELY ORIGINAL WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION, BEAUTIFUL OLDER RESTORATION READY TO SHOW AND GO!!!!
If you have been searching for a truly outstanding, investment quality, Classic Mustang Convertible that is extremely original and also is turn key ready to drive, show off , and enjoy than this one may be the one to end your search! with a production date of August 3, 1964 this is considered a 1964 1/2 early production Mustang. It is titled as a 1965 which is how all of the 64 1/2 card were titled. It was originally sold at Roy O'Brien Ford in St. Claire Shores, Michigan on August 17, 1964 and we have all the cool original documentation including the original window sticker, original sales order and agreement and original owners manual. I bought this car from a gentleman in Michigan who actually owned the car 2 different times and was the 3rd and 5th owner of the car. He originally purchased it in 2003 from the 2nd owner who was in Colorado where the car is believed to have spent most of its early life. He sold the car in 2011 to someone in Wyoming and told them if they ever decided to sell it to let him know. Well, 2 years later he got the call and bought it back from them in 2013 and owned it another 11 years before deciding that it was again time for it to be enjoyed by another lucky owner. I was thrilled to have the chance to buy it and was so impressed with the quality of this car when it arrived here in Alpharetta, GA and I just know this special Mustang Convertible is going to make the next owner extremely happy...maybe you?!!
As you will see in the pics and video the body and paint look outstanding with no issues. It was believed to have been treated to a cosmetic restoration shortly before it was sold in 2003 and had one repaint in the correct, original Silversmoke Gray color which is a rare first year color. It looks silver in some lighting and has a silver blue tone at times as well. I have seen and owned quite a few early Mustangs and this car simply shouts quality and originality everywhere you look. The paint and body are close to show quality and I believe it still has all of its original body panels many with original stampings, which are extremely straight and body panels gaps are awesome. You might find a rock chip somewhere but the body is near flawless and this car will definitely win its share of trophies at the shows if that is what you enjoy. All of your chrome, stainless, emblems etc look fantastic. All of the glass, other than the windshield is original Carlite glass. I will provide a photo tour of the body panels and hopefully you will see just how nice this Pony is!!!
Hopefully you will enjoy this Pony convertible with the top down but it does have a black power top that is also in fantastic condition. It goes up and down smoothly and latches down with ease and the windows all seal up nicely. It also has the black boot cover for when the top is down.
Complimenting the Silversmoke Gray exterior is an extremely original black interior. Very possible that it is still all original and it is in awesome condition throughout. The only flaw I could see was a very small mark on the drivers seat that might have been from a cigarette. Dash pad looks great, carpeting all looks great, original style black rubber floor mats, gauges and bezel look great and everything appears to be working properly. An aftermarket hump hugger center console with cupholders was added but can easily be removed if desired. The original owners manual is still in the glove compartment. An aftermarket Kenwood stereo works well and the dash was not cut. Weatherstripping all looks excellent. You will be proud to show off this interior and find it very comfortable as well.
This early production 64 1/2 has what we believe to be its original C-code 289 2bbl V-8. The date code on the block decodes as July 30, 1964 which falls just a few days prior to the cars build date. We believe the car has just a little over 125,000 miles on it and very possible it had a rebuild at some point prior to 2003 as it runs amazing and the internals are extremely clean. The gentleman we bought it from did have the original Autolite carburetor rebuilt last year. This car still has its original 3-speed manual transmission which shifts beautifully and is a lot of fun to drive. Manual steering and manual brakes but do not let that deter you. This lightweight Mustang steers very easily and tight and the brakes are dialed in and stop better than some power brake Mustangs I have owned. It has a very nice sounding dual exhaust. It is riding on a beautiful set of 14" Styled steel wheels and I put brand new BFG Radial TA tires on that have under 20 miles on them. As you will see we did a nice engine bay detail on this Pony classic so that she will shine and impress when you show her off. Inside the trunk is rock solid with matching spare. Undercarriage also looks great. Appears to have original floorpans with small patches done well on the front floorpans. I cannot emphasize enough just how nicely this car drives at any speed! This is one of those rare opportunities to buy a well documented, very original classic Mustang that was loved by its owners.
Be sure to check out the video walk around and start up and all the pics to see just how nice this car is!!!
