Few cars have made an entrance as dramatic or influential as the
Ford Mustang. Introduced to the public on April 17, 1964, the very
first Mustangs-now commonly referred to as 1964� models-ignited an
automotive revolution. Designed under Lee Iacocca's direction, the
Mustang pioneered the "pony car" segment with its
long-hood/short-deck proportions, broad options list, and
irresistible price point. Ford's gamble paid off instantly: nearly
22,000 orders were placed on the first day, and over a million
Mustangs sold within the first two years. These early 1964� cars
carried several unique production traits and remain highly prized
today for their seminal role in shaping American automotive
culture.
This beautifully presented 1964� Ford Mustang Convertible is
finished in its factory-appointed Wimbledon White with a striking
Red vinyl interior and a Black vinyl convertible top, capturing the
vibrant character of the earliest Mustangs. Power comes from its
original D-code 289ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor, paired to a C4
automatic transmission, providing the ideal balance of performance
and effortless cruising. It comes well-optioned with power
steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, windshield
washer, and 14-inch wheels fitted with classic, polished wire-spoke
wheel covers and whitewall tires, all contributing to its authentic
period presentation.
Additional highlights include a power-operated convertible top,
true dual exhaust system, front and rear seatbelts, dual outside
mirrors, rubber floor mats, and an upgraded Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette
radio neatly integrated into the dash for enhanced drivability
without compromising the car's vintage appeal. This special Mustang
Convertible had traded hands only twice since 1997. It was fully
restored by Pensacola, FL owners prior to that time and shown
exclusively at Mustang events, taking 1st Place honors that same
year! It would travel to Blacksburg, Virginia where it would be
cared for the next 27 years. After the passing of that owner, a
family member and professional mechanic in O'Fallon, MO would take
possession in April 2025 prepping it for summertime use once
again.
It would receive a brand new replacement Holley 600cm carburetor
with electric choke, new thermostat/gasket, temp sensor, heater
hoses, concours upper & lower radiator hoses, fresh lifetime
coolant; new power brake booster, Leed master cylinder, brake
hoses, all new wheel cylinders, complete brake drum hardware kit,
new rear shoes & drums, and fresh brake fluid throughout; front
wheel seals; fuel filter, power steering filter; new transmission
filter, pan gasket, modulator, and new Type F fluid; along with
renewed gear oil in the axle and several miscellaneous cosmetic
items to improve its overall presentation. According to records
provided, new tires were fitted in November 2023, and earlier in
2021, the transmission was resealed, new KYB shocks installed,
along with a R134a air conditioning conversion and new battery
installed. It continues to show extremely well and drives
wonderfully!
Included with the sale will be an original owner's manual, framed
original Mustang advertising, storage car cover, ownership records
to 1976, service records dating back to 1997, additional Holley
carburetor in a box, along with various parts manuals and catalogs.
With its desirable early-production pedigree, strong factory
options, and timeless color combination, this 1964� Mustang
Convertible stands as both an automotive milestone and a
wonderfully enjoyable classic ready for show or weekend
touring.
