The Mustang is a pillar of American automotive history - Lee Iacocca's dream car that brought sporting dash and styling to the American baby-boomer generation. Its first public showing was at the New York World's Fair on April 17^th 1964, and by the end of that model year, an amazing 126,538 had found homes. The following model year saw a Fastback join the existing Notchback and Convertible body styles, while the popular 260ci V8 was replaced with a 289ci one.

According to original build records, this fantastic-looking Mustang's body code states that it was built on the 6^th of August, 1964, making this car one of the desirable 1964½ bodied cars. The Convertible was issued with its warranty number in 1965, from the San Jose, California plant, with a 289ci V8 engine and 4-Speed manual transmission with a 3:00:1 axle. The original colour was Raven Black with White crinkle vinyl with Black appointments. The 289 Convertible features a Rallye pack with extra grille-mounted spotlights and extra dials on the steering column. The history from 1965 to 2002 is unknown, which is usual for American imports, however, we then see some US Invoices with the car dated between 2002 to 2008 in the history file. The first UK MOT was issued on the 21^st of May, 2010, in the Swiss Cottage area of London, so we know the car had been imported around this time.

The car has benefited from recent upgrades within the last 5 years including modern rack and pinion power steering, full billet electronic distributor, Holley carburettor, 17" Alloys and Koni adjustable front shock absorbers. Today, the car is very usable and the vendor states you can fire it up and drive off anywhere. The paint is also in ‘very good’ condition with small noticeable blemishes due to age and the very original interior has stood up well to the test of time but its originality means it is very minimally worn throughout. Mileage is currently showing at c.46879 miles. Overall, a great Mustang to enjoy the summer months and either cruise or hit the drag strip!
