Built on June 5th of 1964 in Dearborn, Michigan, and delivered in Memphis, this 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible has had a complete rotisserie restoration back to original condition. The car has been refinished in a coat of Poppy Red paint over a White Crinkle vinyl interior and is a real D code, 4 speed Pony car.
The restoration began with a bare metal re-finish using a base coat/clear coat application. The car has excellent fit on the doors, trunk and hood with nice tight gaps all the way around. The undercarriage has been refinished in a mat black paint and the top of the car showcases a hand rubbed clear coat which flows like glass and has a tremendous shine. The stainless trim was all polished and reconditioned and the front and rear chrome bumpers are new. All components including the suspension parts are highly detailed. The interior features all new soft parts, and prior to installation of any components, modern sound deadening material was installed throughout the car. Open the trunk and a proper mat keeps things looking tidy as well as more of that Poppy Red paint on all of the surfaces. The power top has been rebuilt and the soft top is brand new and as crisp as they get.
The engine is the original 289 D code motor as is the 4-speed transmission. The engine, transmission and rear end were all rebuilt during the restoration and the car runs like a top. The motor is not finicky whatsoever and starts immediately as soon as the key is turned. The transmission is tight, and differential performs perfectly. The cars shows off some beautiful engine compartment detailing with the correct early Mustang Gold accents, correct generator, correct hoses, clamps and wiring. It is as clean as a whistle and would really make a statement at car shows.
The car has a great ride and is easy to drive. It’s no accident as all of the brake and suspension components have been rebuilt from front to rear. The steering is tight and the car cruises all day long at 70 MPH.
There plenty of Mustangs on the market, but why not buy one that is actually fully restored and exceptionally nice?
