THE APPEAL
The late sixties was time for Ford to be bold and brazen. All car manufacturers in America were trying to produce the most powerful muscle car, but Ford always seemed to the manufacturer others aspired to and tried to emulate. The car that remains the most easily identifiable and iconic is this Mustang Fastback with the glorious V8 351 engine. The timeless design looks as relevant today as it did new when the car was produced, and Neil Armstrong was walking on the moon.
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
- Current owner imported the Mustang 7 years ago
- Stripped and rebuilt engine and mechanicals by John Hickey in County Kerry
- Certificate from Marti Autoworks showing all matching numbers
- Certificate for Premiere Auto Appraisals done in 2015 USA
Vehicles being imported from the USA rarely have service history included, but it was obvious the car had a carefree life being well looked after in Berwyn Illinois, just outside of Chicago. The car comes with the peace of mind of a professional appraisal and confirmation that all the important points such as matching numbers are correct for a vehicle of this age.
The current owner has owned the car for seven years and in that time has had a lot of work carried out to both the engine, mechanicals and a full professional body wrap to a very high standard.There are old images of the car in a pearl blue colour which shows how fresh the bodywork and paintwork is under the wrap.
THE INTERIOR
- Black kiwi style bucket seats
- Headliner is in great condition, very clean and tight
- Working Vox audio radio cassette
- As new carpets
- Three spoke wood and stainless-steel steering wheel
- Great patina on the chrome work and wood effect
- Factory tinted windows
There is a real sense of history sitting on the soft vinyl seats looking at the recessed dials. There are signs of slight wear to the door cards and a few bits of trim might need adjusting but it has aged perfectly. The light filtering in via the louvre rear window gives a magical glow, especially in the back seating area, which has as much legroom as a modern Ford. The air conditioning was removed in America prior to being imported to the UK, the switches and hoses are in place it just needs a new unit fitting if needed.
THE EXTERIOR
- Vented louvre rear window cover
- Front chin spoiler
- Professionally vinyl wrapped in red, black, and white
- Smooth, straight piping seamlessly done to a high quality
- Decals and colour scheme emulates the Mustang Clubs Racing Team
- Boss 351 decals for show
- Decorative side air vents for that go faster look
- Bonnet pins (NASCAR style)
- Magnum 500 wheels in excellent condition with 4 Goodrich radial tyres
The current owner liked the idea of making the Mustang stand out even more than it did in blue and commissioned a professional vinyl wrapper from England to do the job. The whole process to a month as a lot of energy was focussed on getting the details just right. The colour scheme emulates the livery from the Mustang Clubs Racing Team (specifically the colours of racing driver Parnelli Jones who competed in many series, ranging from IndyCar and NASCAR to offroad racing) This was a part of The National Council of Mustang Clubs, who were an official Ford sponsored organisation. Clubs were locally sponsored by dealerships across America.
Historically accurate lettering has been added and the 69 put on the doors (which represent the year the car was made) The resulting wrap is very hard to tell from a full paint respray, and underneath it’s still blue if you wanted to remove it! Earlier images pre the vinyl wrap show the car is very clean and tidy so nothing untoward has been covered up. From a close inspection there were no signs of welding to the underside and the pinstripes of the bodywork line up beautifully.

In the seven years of ownership the vendor has lavished attention on this Mustang Fastback. Any work that needed doing was attended to by a host of professionals in the classic American car business. Most of the mechanicals are stock but the brakes have been improved enormously by the addition of discs all round. There are a few nice touches such as the Cobra air filter and electronic ignition. The car runs superbly and everything works as it should with the added bonus that it sounds fantastic!

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
