Launched in 1964, the Mustang was originally offered in Notchback Coupe or Convertible guise only, based on the underpinnings of the Falcon and powered by a range of six- and eight-cylinder engines of up to 289ci (4.7-litre) capacity. The ultimately more famous Fastback option appeared a year later, with the model's first significant facelift occurring during 1967. If you are a fan of the model of Mustang immortalised by Steve McQueen's Lieutenant Frank Bullitt, and one of the most memorable car chases in cinematic history, then you'll probably be taken by ‘JGU 257C’, which is perhaps the best 289 Fastback we have seen, and one of the highest specifications we have seen.

Manufactured on 23 November 1964 for the 1965 model year, this Mustang has had somewhat of a globetrotting history, living in Florida until it was imported to the UK in 1998. In 2009, the car was purchased by its next owner, who lived in the Netherlands, Monaco and back to the UK, with the car in that ownership being used on a number of European road rallies at the time. In April of 2020, the car was purchased by its current owner, with the car being stored professionally since.

Presented in a beautiful shade of Pearlescent Green with contrasting Black interior, ‘JGU 257C’ benefits from an impressive specification, including Ron Morris adjustable engine mounts, Edelbrock Performer Aluminium cylinder heads, Comp Cams magnum aluminium roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer RPM high lift hydraulic lifter camshaft, Edelbrock Performer timing gear set, Edelbrock Performer dual plane with Endurashine finish, Edelbrock Performer 4bbl 600cfm carburettor with silicone vacuum hose kit, high capacity air filter with chrome housing, MSD Pro-Billet electronic distributor with Blaster II Coil, Ford C4 Automatic transmission subject to overhaul in August of 2009 with Tru-Trac limited slip differential, Wilwood Front disc brakes with power booster and dual circuit master cylinder with proportioning valve. In addition, American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels, dressed in B F Goodrich Radial T/A tyres, Chrome plated Export Brace, heavy duty rear leaf springs with KYB Gas-A-Just shock absorbers and Prothane bushing kit, Ceramic coated exhaust with Try-Y Headers, Pypes 2.5’’ stainless steel Street Pro with X-Pipe dual exhaust and electric cut-out valves, High output 130 amp alternator with compact high torque starter motor, Wagner Brite-Lite headlights, MustangProject.com sequential LED tail lights, LED parking lights and LED instrument back lights, Grant 15’’ Riveted Walnut and brushed stainless steel steering wheel and much more.

In current ownership, the car has been subject to works including ceramic coating, pressed number plates and a Vodafone S7 tracker fitted in October 2020 at a cost of nearly £1,500. As well as this, in July 2021, power steering was fitted, along with some corrosion around the front and rear windscreen apertures rectified and replacement door seals. The total cost of this was over £4,600.

Included with the vehicle is an impressive history file, containing an extensive collection of documents from its time in the US, Europe and the UK. Included are invoices and receipts mainly from 1998 to present, in GBP, USD and EURO which total over £53,600 at today’s rates. A specification list of the vehicle lists a printed timeline of most of the major works undertaken between 2012 to present. As well as this, the history file does include a Florida title from 1989, and included is an original 1965 Mustang owner’s manual, instruction manual, spare set of keys and the current V5C document.
