Introduced in 1964, the Mustang created an overnight sensation in the media and in Ford showrooms across the country. It offered a winning combination of sporty performance, personal luxury and fresh styling, which turned out to be a direct hit on a previously unknown market segment. The result was the most successful new car introduction in the history of the automobile industry. Ford’s Mustang triggered competition from every major car company, creating overnight the “pony car” class. Part of Mustang’s appeal – in addition to its trim size and sparkling performance – was the broad options list. A buyer could specify anything from a bare bones six-cylinder coupe to a top-of-the-line fully equipped convertible as seen here. This sparkling example is one of the very hard to find Mustangs of any era.

Finished in Avacado Green, a hugely popular color for the day, it is one of the finest example to be found. The paint is in great shape and the exterior features a rear spoiler, silver graphics, chin spoiler, and Magnum 500 wheels shod with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The interior presents in new-like condition. The white sport bucket seats are excellent, along with the rest of the upholstery and folding top. This Mustang is powered by a 302-cid two-barrel engine and sports power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. With very little effort, this car could be prepped and shown at a national event with the confidence of knowing it will likely be the best example on the field.
