Ford's immortal first generation Mustang had its inaugural public viewing at the New York World's Fair of April 1964. It was the first of the so-called `pony' cars that subsequently included the Chevy Camaro, AMC Javelin and revamped Chrysler Barracuda. It also inspired such Coupes from elsewhere in the world as the Ford Capri and Toyota Celica. It was styled in house under the direction of Joe Oros and utilised as many components as possible from the existing Falcon and Fairlane models, in order to minimise cost - the ticket price was a remarkable $2,368. Soon available in Coupe, Convertible and Fastback guise, the fast Ford could be bought with a range of straight-six and V8 engines. Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 units for the first year, but that mark was surpassed within the first three months and no less than a million were built in the first year and a half.
The lefthand drive Fastback now offered is finished in the classic combination of Wimbledon White bodywork embellished with broad Guardsman Blue central stripes and GT350 sill decals - ie an echo of the most popular Shelby Mustang livery. It is powered by an example of Ford's ubiquitous 289ci (4.7-litre) `thin wall' Windsor V8 engine driving through a four-on-the floor manual gearbox complete with Hurst shifter. `FNA 441C' benefits from a number of worthwhile upgrades, including: Edelbrock carburettor and inlet manifold, alloy radiator for added cooling, wood-rim steering wheel, side-exit exhausts, and a set of American racing alloy road wheels. The car was apparently imported to the UK in 2014 and is now considered by the vendor to have `good' bodywork, paintwork, Black vinyl interior trim, engine and transmission. He is now offering it complete with a collection of old MOTs plus a current one valid into February of next year.
