Back in 1966, my freshman high school biology teacher in Chicago (Mr. James Tate) had a red 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible with white top like this one I got a ride in. The “cool” factor was off the charts then, as it still is today. I recall he saying it was one of the first 500 built. Over the years I’ve often wondered if it survived and is driving around somewhere fully restored like this one.
Maybe they can help me. I am looking for a 1966 mustang convertible d3 4-speed manual gearbox, do you know of one that is not restored but works correctly? The idea is to restore it in my workshop.
Wait, concours? Eh…granted it is a beautiful car and the restoration is amazing however the before pictures show no power steering and a 3 speed, Interior I’ll forgive as it was disclosed it wasn’t the correct style but very tastefully added. The after shows Eaton power steering and a C4 auto? The door data plate shows ‘Trans’ 6 which is a C4 auto, I suspect that is a reproduction data plate as it’s condition and rivets are too crisp and clean to be original and the owner wanted it to have the 6 instead of the 1. No big deal to add P/S and A/T but don’t pass it off as concours. Imagine someone converting a coupe to a convertible, then leading you to believe it was naturally a 76A instead of a 65A, I’m sure it would look fantastic and the owner would love it but please represent it honestly, 10 years from now someone may purchase this car and research it finding this video. Again, beautiful car with some owner inspired updates, (Also a 64.5 owner myself, 15 Jul 64)
I would love a ‘66, the year of my birth, with a 289 HiPo and manual 4 speed transmission. I’m more the classic Look, but equipped with modern conveniences such as A/C, front disk brakes, power brakes, manual steering fine, a totally rebuilt 289 HiPo with electronic ignition. Right now Jeep Wranglers filling a bit of that “void”, but a ‘66 Mustang is my real “bucket” and an ‘86 Grand National, that I passed one up 10 years ago, for a mere $12k, in great shape and the cherry on top will be a 2024 Jeep Rubicon 392, but $95k a bit “out there” for a Jeep Wrangler. 3 of them currently in my driveway, a 2016 JKU Sahara (wife), a 2010 JK Rubicon (Me) and a soon to be 2021 JLU Rubicon (My daughter), but a ‘66 Mustang is hopefully there prior to my departure from this mortal coil.
64-1/2 had a 5 bolt bellhousing, aluminum waterpump, and a hydraulic ram vs recirculating ball power steering. As noted in the video, the scalloped area on the hood the seam was not folded as in 65 & later years. I had a later 64-1/2 made in early August 1964, had a 5 bolt bellhousing 289 4v, c4 automatic, white with a white top & blue/white pony interior.
Is there a way to dig into the history of a Mustang by VIN? I live outside of the U.S and needed a bit more insight on a particular import that likely originated from the U.S
Wow, stunning restoration and nice video documentation. It looks like the restoration started in someone's driveway and was finished by a pro, does anyone know the full story?
I am sorry but your are wrong, I purchased a new Mustang August 17, 1964 and have pictures that show the chrome intakes on the car. The only option I have showing on window sticker is Cruise O Matic, WSW tires, Radio AM, Tinted Windshield, Padded Visor, Backup lights, Total $2923.10

Nice car. Could have done without the friggin music.
You don't like Joe Tex ?
And done with out "indicative" and "classic"

Sorry, can’t say concours restoration as pony interior was not available until March of 65.
My right ear is sad.
Play 60s Stones, not 80s Stones !!!
