Highlights:
On April 17, 1964, Ford presented the first-generation Mustang, based technically on the Ford Falcon, as a coupé and convertible, thereby creating the class of vehicles subsequently named after it: the pony cars.
Since the Mustang came onto the market in spring 1964 – significantly earlier than the usual premiere of new vehicle models in October – the first-year Mustang model was also designated as model year 1965, although vehicles built earlier can unofficially be referred to as 1964 1/2 models.
According to its VIN, this Ragoon Red convertible is one of these early models that came off the production line in 1964. Equipped with the large 289ci V8 (4.7-liter) engine (D-Code), it produces 260 hp according to the vehicle documents.
The vehicle was purchased in Los Angeles in 2012 as a restoration project and transported to Germany in this condition. All transport documents, as well as photographs of its condition when found, are available.
The Mustang subsequently underwent a no-compromise full restoration to German standards, involving approximately 1,300 hours of work in total. The bodywork, chrome, paint, leather, and mechanical components were renewed or completely reworked. The suspension and axles were also renewed, and in the process the vehicle was converted to front disc brakes with a brake booster and power steering. Finally, a valuation report was prepared confirming the perfection of the restoration. Naturally, a series of photographs documenting the restoration itself is also available.
In 2014, the current owner acquired the vehicle for his collection.
This beautiful Ford Mustang is now in our showroom – a true gem of American automotive history.
