This 1964.5 Ford Mustang coupe was acquired by the seller in 2006, and its 289ci V8 was rebuilt in 2010. A repaint was carried out in the original color of Poppy Red in 2023, and additional work at that time involved reupholstering the interior and installing a dual exhaust system. The car is equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, 14″ steel wheels, a Custom AutoSound stereo, a Hurst shifter, a dual-circuit brake master cylinder, and lap belts. This Mustang is now offered with service records, spare parts, and transferable New York registration in the seller’s name.
The car came finished from the factory in Poppy Red and was repainted in 2023 following repairs of the body, rear frame supports, and driver’s floor, including installation of replacement panels. The car was also undercoated at that time, and the windshield washer pump was replaced in 2025.
The 14″ steel wheels wear covers and are mounted with 205/70 Firestone Affinity LH30 tires. Braking is handled by front and rear drums, which were overhauled in 2010. The shocks and suspension bushings were also replaced at that time, and a dual-circuit master cylinder was added in 2017.
The front bucket seats and rear bench were re-trimmed in white vinyl in 2023, while replacement carpets, kick panels, and sill plates were installed in 2010. The dash pad was replaced in 2025, and amenities include a Hurst shifter, a Custom AutoSound radio, lap belts, and a cabin heater.
Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by fuel-level and water-temperature gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles, approximately 12k of which were added under current ownership. The speedometer cable and steering wheel were replaced in 2025. The seller notes blemishes on the dash and instrument cluster.
The D-code 289ci V8 was factory rated at 210 horsepower and was rebuilt in 2010. A replacement fuel filter was installed in 2025.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a rear axle with 3.00:1 gears. A replacement clutch was installed in 2010. A dual exhaust system was fitted, and an undercoating was applied to the chassis in 2023.
