PLEASE NOTE: As the vehicle has been driven to the sale, the odometer now records just over 1,000 miles

Introduced at the New York World's Fair on 17th of April 1964, the Ford Mustang was primarily aimed at the post-WW2 'baby boomer' generation. Backed by an enormous publicity campaign that included television coverage beamed to over 30 million homes and some 2,500 newspaper advertisements, it proved an instant hit. Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles annually, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Ford Model A - over 400,000 units were sold in its first year and 1,000,000 had been sold within two years of its launch. Soon available in Coupe, Convertible, and Fastback guise, it came with a range of straight-six and V8 engines together with a beguiling array of factory options. Already an icon in standard guise, modified performance versions have become legendary, with those produced by Shelby in the 1960s being particularly prized by collectors today.

In the spirit of making the original Pony car go even faster, this example, originally a V8 and appropriately registered MUS 289A, has been uprated with a hand-built SVT 4.6 litre V8 4V Romeo Niche Line engine mated to a 'Tremec T5' gearbox. Producing a claimed c.300 bhp it is understood to be fitted with uprated internals including con rods and a 281 Eagle crank. The front end has been completely overhauled to suit the engine, along with strengthening throughout of the floorpan. Finished in Harley Davidson Orange Red candy paint which presents excellently with a cream leather interior, the car has been with the vendor since 1995 with the works completed less than 1000 miles ago. Offered with a comprehensive history file and current V5C document together with a current MoT to July 2026, this stunning example is worthy of close inspection.
