An exceptional piece of American automotive history: For sale is an extremely early 1964½ Ford Mustang convertible with the legendary 289 cu in V8, 4-barrel carburetor and 3-speed automatic transmission.
The vehicle was built only a few days before the official world premiere of the Ford Mustang at the New York World's Fair. This makes this Mustang one of the earliest ever built and particularly interesting as a so-called “original Mustang”.
Particularly noteworthy is the exceptionally comprehensive vehicle history, which dates back to 1973. Numerous original invoices, receipts and documents, as well as extensive records of repairs, maintenance and replacements, are available and accompany the vehicle.
I acquired the Mustang around 27.5 years ago and have maintained it accordingly ever since. The mechanical components were already overhauled in the USA. The convertible top was replaced in Germany in 2014. According to the available information, the body paintwork was already refurbished in the USA.
A current appraisal by Classic Analytics rates the vehicle in condition 2+. The previous appraisal had also already determined condition 2+.
The combination of an extremely early production date, 289 V8 with 4-barrel carburetor, convertible body, automatic transmission, comprehensive documented history and long-term ownership makes this Mustang a particularly interesting collector's vehicle.
