Ford Mustang 289 V8 1964
General description :
1964 1/2 Ford Mustang Convertible Many people think Mustangs were first born in 1965 but 1964 was actually the first year. While production was in high gear for the newly designed 1965 Mustang, the car was honored by being named the Indianapolis Pace Car of 1964. Due to the high anticipation and popularity of the Mustang, Ford started releasing designs early. These were initially marketed as early 1965 models but because some changes were made to the 65 Mustangs this set of cars became known as the 1964 1/2. This car is a nice solid Mustang done in Red with a Black power convertible top. When down, the top is covered with a White boot cover to match the Parchment interior. The paint is in good condition and the body rust free. All of the original style chrome and stainless accents are in place with a great shine. The glass is in great shape with no issues. It has a GT valance in the rear with the dual exhaust trumpets exiting through it. Rolling under all four corners are GT wheels with the Ford Mustang center caps which complete the classic Mustang look. The car runs and drives well with no issues. It came from the factory with a 289 V8 and is still powered by a 289 4 barrel V8 today. The air cleaner and valve covers wear the classic Gold paint like they did from the factory along with the 289 decal. The car doesn't smoke and rolls down the road comfortably. The motor is paired with a C4 automatic transmission that moves through the gears smoothly. Inside, the car has the Parchment interior which is always a popular choice in these classics. It is combined with a painted to match dash, Black carpeting and a Black dash pad to create a two tone look. The car utilizes all original style components from the t-handle floor shifter to the woodgrain steering wheel. Everything is just as it would have been stock. The only real aftermarket component is the added seat belts which these cars often do not have in place. The gauges are working properly and indicate 76,240 original miles. The trunk of the car is fitted with the correct plaid mat and houses a spare wheel with cover. Mustangs are never going out of style so making a purchase like this can never back fire! SOLD

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
