THE APPEAL
Since it’s introduction in 1964, the popular Ford Mustang marked the emergence of a new breed of smaller American cars that still packed a punch under the hood. The sporty coupes and convertibles were an instant success and over 400,000 sold in the first year of production and one million within two years.
This Mustang was apparently gifted to the last owner in the U.S. from his grandmother who purchased the car new. Originally Vintage Burgundy, it was repainted in the U.S. and the low mileage is believed to be genuine.
Now radiant in it’s coat of blue paintwork, this American muscle car is a real head-turner, the interior is in great shape, and the 289 V8 burbles along nicely. Not quite concours, there is a little room for improvement, but this classic Mustang is definitely worth a closer look…
