1964 1/2 MUSTANG - ORIGINAL OWNER
79. 39 MILES - ONE REPAINT - RESTORED


The original owner of this car has decided after 50 years of enjoyment to sell this very special part of his life and family. his beautiful 1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible.   The odometer reads 79. 39 original miles on the car as of today (that will change daily because he does enjoy driving this car).   Seller took possession of the car on July 3. 1964.   The seller drove this car and enjoyed it through out the 50 years of ownership and decided to give it a nuts and bolts restoration about 4-5 years ago using as many original parts that could be found.   The car has one re-paint in the same burgundy color that the car was born with and has a new interior in the original style.   The V8 260 engine was rebuilt about 3. 00 miles ago.   3-speed on the floor.   The car has a manual black convertible top and the cover has one minor tear.   The car has never seen water since restoration.   It has been kept in a heated garage with wood floor.   It starts. stops and runs good.   The choke is in the gas pedal.   The seller said you have to warm the car up before driving as is common with these cars.   The car has had no accidents. no rust and has a New York registration.  

The seller upgraded the wheels but the original wheels and hubcaps go with the car.

The seller upgraded to an AM/FM aftermarket radio but the original radio goes with the car.

The car has seat belts.

From the Internet "About Autos" by Jonathan Lamas Mustangs Expert

The first Ford Mustang rolled off the assembly line on March 9. 1964. On April 17. 1964. the Mustang was introduced to the public at the World's Fair in New York. Before the day was over. Ford had secured 22. 00 orders for the vehicle at dealerships across the country. As such. the Mustang was considered an instant hit with consumers.

Contrary to popular belief. the first model year for the Ford Mustang was 1965. Mustangs produced between March 9th and July 31st of 1964 are often coined the 1964 ½ Ford Mustang by enthusiasts. Initial production of the second round of Mustangs began on August 17th. 1964. Both the original production Mustangs and the second run are technically considered 1965 Mustangs by Ford. That's not to say there aren't differences between the two. The first Mustangs produced feature unique characteristics that set them apart from those produced after July 31st. 1964.

Features Horizontal Speedometer Layout Similar to Ford Falcon
U-Code. F-Code. or D-Code engine
Generator for Charging Battery
Large horns mounted on Frame Behind Radiator

For instance. the 1964 ½ Mustang features a generator charging system for the battery as well as a generator charge light. It also features either a U-Code. F-Code. or D-Code engine. Additional highlights include a horizontal speedometer layout (also found on 1965s). similar to the one on the Ford Falcon. The Mustang was. after all. based on the Ford Falcon. Thus. the early models carried over some of these features.

Other features of a true 1964 ½ Ford Mustang include a brake-light pressure switch on the master cylinder as well as large horns mounted on the frame of the vehicle behind the radiator.

Another difference is the front hood of the 1964 1/2 Mustang. The 1965 models. produced after July 31st. 1964. feature a rolled front edge. unlike the 1964 ½ model which features angled edges that are not folded.

The 1964 1/2 Mustangs feature full wheel covers. a chrome grille with vertical bars. and the famous running horse emblem. They also feature carpeting throughout. Front bucket seats were standard. with a front bench seat optional. Buyers had the option of 3-speed. 4-speed. or an automatic transmission.
