General description :
BUY THIS CARVIEW MUSTANGSVIEW FORDS For sale in our Chicago showroom is a very early production 1965 Ford Mustang commonly referred to as a 1964 1/2. This Wimbledon white beauty was born on March 19, 1964 just 9 short days after the very first Mustang debuted. The serial number of this car indicates it was the 2,041st Mustang ever built. Obviously the Mustang craze was one of the most noteworthy moments in automotive history and to think that this is one of the cars that started it is very special indeed. Powering up this pony is the thrifty 170 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder engine mated with a 3-speed manual transmission with floor shifter. This car is designated as a "U" code and is completely void of options including either passenger or drivers side view mirror and features a radio delete plate on the dash. Apparently whoever bought this classic new was not concerned with all of the bells and whistles. After having been discovered by the current owner this car underwent a full restoration that was completed in 2005. During the restoration process the goal was to preserve as much originality of the vehicle and use original parts rather than replacements. This vehicle is very early and thus features a manual choke that would normally be on a Ford Falcon and also a "Falcon Sprint" steering wheel. At the time of the restoration the original engine was rebuilt keeping the same bore and the transmission was rebuilt including new gears.

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.
