The dash and interior vinyl and door cards are in good condition with few scuffs present but no splits or cracks, airline type lap seat belts have been added for the front seat passengers, the rear benefiting from the original belts. A new headliner has just been fitted. There is the useful addition of a rev’ counter and the steering wheel has been replaced with the standard OEM version. The wheels are of the correct five-spoked ‘Styled’ design with the correct new red enamel Mustang centers and new tyres including the spare in the freshly lined trunk.
The exterior of the car is in very good condition overall, although the paint is not concours, the chrome work is clean and bright, the bumpers being replaced as part of the recent renovation along with all the correct badging, there is a small amount of pitting on the rear quarter window surrounds, these can easily be replaced or re-chromed. Everything is available for Mustangs.
The engine bay is clean and tidy with nothing out of place with recent work including installation of an aluminium radiator, there is an electric fan available that has yet to be fitted and a Monte Carlo bar. The engine was completely rebuilt just 1500 miles ago with aluminium cylinder heads, roller rockers and electronic ignition by way of a Petronix distributor. A bespoke stainless steel twin exhaust system has also just been fitted.
A number of spare parts are included in the sale
Celebrating their 60th anniversary this year first generation factory A code Mustangs are the collector’s car of choice and being an early GT, this example with its four-speed manual transmission has an extra level of desirability.

All the GT credentials are correct for a factory-built car including all the more hidden-away modifications
