1964 ½ Ford Mustang D Code 289 4 BBL 4 Speed Convertible, IMMACULATE!
FULL ROTISSERIE RESTORATION completed in May of 2019, no expense spared, full original specs to body tag, engine and trans were completely rebuilt and are date coded. The car was built on June 18, 1964. I am the second owner. Before I bought the car it had been semi-restored, but they used 65/66 parts on some of it and converted it to an automatic. I have changed everything back to what the body tag specs are and have found all of the original parts that make it a 64. If you know Mustangs then you know the differences between a 64 vs 65/66. I have upgraded a couple items on the car; the front brakes are disc brakes with a dual master cylinder for safety and performance and the exhaust is a dual exhaust. Both of these additions are for safety, looks and performance and can be converted back if the new owner chooses to do so. She Drives Perfect, less than 500 miles after re-build. The engine was ran on an engine stand for 4 hours to properly break it in and so the car would stay pristine. This D Code Mustang is very rare as far as Mustang Production goes. If you need the 1964 ½ D Code, 289, 4BBL, 4 Speed, Convertible Mustang for your collection, this is the one. All of the factors above make this Mustang very rare. This may not be your daily driver, this is most likely for a serious collector. A List of everything that I could think of went into the restoration below. The car is currently stored in a warehouse inside of a car bubble in a museum like atmosphere. Call Barry anytime with any questions 818-458-8736
The Body tag breaks down like this. VIN: 5F08D170622:
