Ford Mustang 260 V8 1964

General description : 37K ACT MILES, VERY ORIGINAL 64.5 F CODE , BELIEVED ORIGINAL 260 V8, FACT COLORS

A 1964.5 Ford Mustang for under $22K?! But more than just a rare coupe that started a revolution, this one also has only averaged around 700 miles annually and it's believed to have its original F-code V8. So read all the detail, but just know you're not the only enthusiast that's already excited.
Ford had a huge hit on its hands with the first-generation Mustang. It was an instant icon, and so when looking for the ultimate classic, you want the earliest example you can get that has both originality and rarity. That's what makes this one so appealing. Dynasty Green is a great way to represent the first run of the original pony car. After all, this was a color that was phased out after '65. And while many of these cars have traded it in for a more mainstream red or black, this one gets more distinctive every year that it retains its factory-correct hue. You can tell this coupe has received the right care and investment over the years. That's why the bumpers and taillight bezels keep it shining at their best. Yes, the American Racing wheels are an upgrade in flair. So while the original ones come with the sale, too, we think when you're the coupe that launched the pony car revolution you deserve to show off a little.
Inside, the black vinyl is always a great interior to have, and this one shows high degrees of originality. That means it's far from perfect, but it does certainly take a level care to still be this complete after over a half-century on this earth. Bucket seats and a sporty three-spoke steering wheel are the great things that made you and the rest of American fall in love with the Mustang. Even the AM radio is still cranking out tunes! But more than nostalgia, this one has some great features that collectors really look for. For example, the center console is a great way to showcase a bright and premium interior. And have you noticed that this 1964.5 even has the ultra-desirable Rally-Pac?
When you open the hood, the bold blue valve covers and air topper grab your attention, but it's what's beneath them that's really special. This is an F-code Mustang, which means it came from the factory with a 260 cubic-inch V8... and that's the block that's still under the hood today! The 4/1/64 date coded block is believed to be original to the coupe, and original-style presentation certainly looks the part of correctness. Once the 1964.5 production switched over to 1965, this option was gone. So it's a cool piece of original history to have this still under the hood. The same goes for the generator. After all, it could easily be switched to an alternator, but it has been kept in this one all these years because Mustang people know to look for this special short-run component. And with features like the power steering and the three-speed automatic transmission, you can comfortably drive this benchmark classic to all the shows you want.
You're looking at an in-demand piece of automotive history. So at a price like this, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!

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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
