Description
Offered at £24, 000, this is a rare opportunity to own a highly authentic, early-production 1964½ Ford Mustang Coupe.

Complete with an extensive history file, absolute production-line accuracy, and a completely rust-free body, this vehicle represents an investment-grade classic that balances turnkey, analog drivability with exceptional collector value. Current mileage 66123 miles.
I’m not going to give a long rambling write up about the history of the Ford Mustang as you must have some knowledge simply by being interested in this beautiful car.
If you are looking for a car to keep as standard as possible or looking to put your own mark on it, this is most probably the car you’ve been looking for.
The beauty of this wonderful mustang is its originality and the beautiful patina the interior carries.
The real appeal of this Mustang is what it hasn’t got, rather than what it has.
An unfettered example that still carries many of its factory features
