1964.5 Mustang Convertible

1964.5 Mustang Convertible

The first Mustang off the assembly line was a car very much like this 1964.5 Mustang convertible. Some clever upgrades, make this a great Mustang you can enjoy every day.

Rangoon Red was a popular choice among early Mustang fans and for good reason: it looks fantastic on the first pony car. A glance at the door tag will reveal that this one was always code J red. Bright chrome bumpers, a correct early-style grille with cross bars, and twin exhaust tips under the rear valence. An attractive Deluxe Parchment interior (also known as the Pony interior) is a bright and cheerful choice on the convertible and really works well. Things like the plush red carpet, center console, dash pad, and seat covers were replaced in the not-too-distant past, and the door panels are in good shape. Sharp-eyed readers will note that an R134a A/C system has been installed under the dash and the radio is a modern "Retrosound" AM/FM/AUX stereo unit in the original slot. Factory gauges show bright markings and clear lenses, almost too nice to be original, and the steering wheel is a familiar 3-spoke piece that's ready for miles of use. The white convertible top is in very good condition with a crystal clear rear window, and a matching Parchment boot is included. Finally, the trunk is finished with a reproduction mat and a cover for the spare tire.

Early F-Code Mustangs sported Ford's 260 cubic inch V8, but this one carries a 289 cubic inch that slots right in and looks exactly like it belongs. It's finished in Ford blue, as many later Ponies were, and with Ford Racing valve covers and a chrome open-element air cleaner, it looks dressed up for show. Early cars also had generators, but this one carries a chromed alternator for reliability and better performance at low speeds. The engine bay is quite clean and you'll appreciate a modern electronic ignition system that's practically maintenance-free. Much like the modern A/C compressor keeps things cool in the cabin, that fat aluminum radiator keeps the temperatures down for the motor and provides the driver with the confidence for long journeys.
