Ford Mustang

FULLY DOCUMENTED HISTORY, 2 FAMILY OWNED, 50K MILES ON ENGINE, 289 V8, 3SPD, A/C
It's a super-solid, dialed-in little coupe with 289 V8 power, a period-correct presentation, a fully documented 2-family-owned history, and the same charm that's infused into every early Mustang ever built.
Back in 2010, this vintage Mustang got a fresh coat of Code Y Light Blue Metallic paint, which we feel is an excellent choice. The light blue shade has elegance that's universally loved by all Ford fans, and it looks great covering the iconic lines of Americas' greatest pony. Rocker panel molding between the wheels and the chromed 'gills' in the quarters add both sportiness and sophistication to the juvenile coupe. They did a good job on the top driver-quality paint by highlighting the deep shine. Panel fit is actually pretty good as well, particularly the trunk and the bumpers, which hug the body tightly, and thanks to the Mustang's huge popularity, much of the trim is newer so it looks very good.
Two tone blue vinyl with new upholstery on the front buckets, matched by flanking blue door panels at the flanks and thick, insulating blue carpets on the floors. The five-dial gauge panel became standard in 1966 and holds a complete set of gauges in a black "camera case" finished panel and the stock steering wheel really does look sporty. A JVC AM/FM/Cassette stereo head unit fits neatly in the original radio's location and powers a pair of modern speakers on the rear package shelf, so you don't have to sacrifice entertainment in your new daily-driver vintage Mustang. There's also an under-dash factory A/C unit that's been converted to modern R134a freon ahead of the center console. The center console shows light patina but is easily the best part of the cabin, not only as a 'must-have' option but also because it houses the most fun part of the car: the shifter for the 3-speed manual gearbox. Out back, the trunk shows off just how solid this Pony really is and sports reproduction mats for the floor and spare tire.
This is a C-code Mustang (289 cubic inch V8 under the hood). As a result, this Mustang is plenty peppy around town and has a great V8 sound from the twin tailpipes out back, both critical elements to Mustang ownership. A fresh long block was installed at 181,000 miles (the car now has 231,473 actual miles) and runs like a sewing machine today, with a stock Ford Blue open-element air cleaner, plus a set of original valve covers that make the engine bay look all stock, save for the chrome brace that stiffens the front end a bit. The 3-speed manual gearbox transmission is a willing partner for the V8 and never leaves you hanging for a downshift, and the 8-inch rear end has highway gears in it so cruising around town or across the country is pretty drama-free. The rolling stock was upgraded with American Racing Torque Thrust 'Old Style' wheels wrapped in 215/60/14 BFGoodrich white-letter tires, finishing off the look perfectly.
Accompanied by a log that shows any maintenance ever done, this is just an awesome little Mustang that's going to be affordable to own and operate.
