Vehicle Description

1964 1/2 Ford Mustang Hardtop

Exterior
Guardsman Blue in a respray done with the body on the frame is
bathing smoothed steel panels for this car. From the hockey stick
cove in the doors to the front venting to cool the battery, this
car is just beautifully done. This clean machine presents with
beautifully polished chrome trimmings for the cove, bumpers, and
window surrounds. A 260 badge is on the front quarter, and the
iconic triple inverted V tail light clusters are gracing either
side of the rear panel. On all 4 corners are the 6-blade fan-like
wheel covers, standard fare for most Mustangs of the time, and
wrapped in thin whitewall tires.

Interior
A flip of the door, and more blue vinyl covers the interior. On
those door panels are a large clip style, (as opposed to screw on
for the actual 1965), handle to open the door, another 1964-1/2
cue. Beautifully preserved low back buckets are up front and are in
excellent condition. These show in tuck and roll insert and smooth
bolster form with some chrome trimmings on the edges to hide the
hinge. In back is a matching bench also with nicely preserved blue
vinyl. The dash is super clean with the dual eyebrow dash top under
which is the horizontal speedometer flanked by the two round temp
and fuel gauges, warning lights and odometer in the black panel.
This car is optioned with the rally pack of gauges added to the
steering column. These are providing engine RPM, and a chronograph
clock. Sitting proudly in the middle of the hump is a center
console with black and aluminum bands running through it. It meets
the dash in the center where we see temp sliders. An aftermarket
radio now provides AM/FM and cassette capabilities and fits nicely
into the original spot. In its midsection is the long stem manual
shifter. Original slightly faded and somewhat stained carpet floods
the floors, and a white headliner very nicely tight is up top for
the interior.

Drivetrain
A 260ci V8 with a plethora of new parts installed over time yields
a power plant that is pretty much rebuilt, but retaining its
factory installed status. It presents very nicely with non-corroded
bolt ons, sky blue valve covers and air cleaner cover. No hints of
any oiling or leaks at the seals, and this mill is buttoned up. A
rebuilt and correct 3-speed manual transmission is on back. The
rear axle is a Ford 8 inch 3.00 conventional installation from the
factory.

Undercarriage
Well preserved is the buzzword for this undercarriage, with some
surface rust, plenty of patina and some light oiling from the rear
pumpkin showing. Solid toe kicks and floor pans, rockers frame and
a newer gas tank. Drum brakes are on all 4 corners, and suspension
is nice and tight.

Drive-Ability
She fired right up, and the test track proved to be no challenge
for this car. It accelerated smoothly, steered easily and cruised
with ease at highway speed. The clock is not operating and the car
pulls to the left when braking.
