Ford : Mustang convertible for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 204 votes

All  of the mustangs made at the beginning of production were mostly with either 6 cylinder or the base V-8 production engines. This particular Mustang is an extremely RARE  Mustang as it had the most powerful engine you could get until Ford came out with the solid lifter 271HP motor which was the motor that powered the 65-67 Shelby GT350's.   This more powerful engine was a 289 cu. Inch engine with a 4bbl carb.   This designation of D code was only used for the 64 ½ year cars.   In 1965 they raised the compression and called it an A code engine. There are numerous items on the '64 cars that are not on any other car.   The most prevalent are the mounting of the cars horns to the frame rails of the car and the fact that they are much larger than the regular Mustang horns.  

This car was a very expensive car back then as it came from the factory with power steering and brakes. power top and deluxe hub caps.   This is also a unique piece only to the '64 cars as it is totally different from all the rest of the Mustangs units. The seat belts are also one of the major differences as they are totally different than all other Mustangs. One of the most significant items that you notice on the body of the car are the turned down corner lip of the 64 ½ headlight bucket assembly. The front corner of most '64 hoods were also turned down to match this bevel. The hood on this car is one of those rare hoods. The hood bumpers are also different on the '64 cars. This D code convertible has a great deal of other rare items on it.  When was the last time you saw one of these on a mustang? Also. last but not least one of the major items that were on the '64 cars only is the generator.   Because of the uniqueness of the generator on the '64 cars. I have taken pictures of the dash board with the generator light turned on.   A very significant and very rare item to find on one of these desirable '64. 5 cars is the correct size MUSTANG script that is written on each front fender. For some reason. in '64. 5 the MUSTANG the letters are 4 and 3/8 inches long.    However. in 65 and in 66 they were 5 inches long.    Most 64. 5 cars have naturally been repainted at least once in their lives and unfortunately the rare 64 script is thrown away and the wrong 65/66 put back on the fenders.   To me. that script size tells me that whoever owned this car took great care and detail to save these highly valuable MUSTANG scripts. I have also taken pictures of the other notable '64. 5 items so you can see them for yourself.

I do not know the  exact history on this car but I do know that it was originally built in the Dearborn. MI plant. The millage shows 00636 which I believe was reset (to zero) when the car was lightly restored some 20+ years ago.  I have decoded the original door tag below

Here is your chance to own a significant part of automotive history that is a highly optioned and rare Mustang “D” code convertible for a very small price compared to most collectable V-8 -  1960's convertibles. The color of this car is called Poppy Red and I believe that it must be a very rare color as I can honestly say that I have not seen or owned many that are painted this fantastic color.   I believe that the interior front seats and rear seats plus the dash pad are totally original which is a real testimonial to the care taken to preserve this Mustang.

This convertible is a very nice car to drive and it is nice enough right now to be taken anywhere and enjoyed or displayed for others to admire. I do not care what kind of car show you take this Mustang to; I would be extremely surprised if there was another 1964 1/2 Convertible at the show period and certainly not one with this color and all of the options on this rare D code car. Fly in and drive home!

Here are the codes found on the original door tag on the driver's side:

v  COLOR  3  POPPY RED

The car was sitting for over 15 years in a barn in Augusta. GA and just had a full bumper-to-bumper mechanical service (over $ 1. 00. 00) - It runs and drives fantastic -
