1964 1/2 Ford Mustang Hardtop VIN: 5F07D116628

Vehicle Description
This is a 64 ½ Ford Mustang. I purchased this car for my daughter, who turns 16 in 4 months. Here are the details about the car that I know: The car is a 64 ½ “D” Code car. According to one “Restoration Guide”, “The D-Code 289ci four-barrel engine could easily be the rarest engine option since it was available only during April through September of 1964.” The “D” stands for 289 4 Barrel Carburetor. As I understand it, this was only used on the 64 ½. This car has a generator, not an alternator. The car is almost rust free. I say almost because there is a little rust on the doors and the trunk lid. The paint is in awful condition and it looks like the car has been re-painted. I installed new tie rod ends on the car about a month ago. The car has an air conditioner (not working at this time) and power steering. The power steering control valve does leak a bit and I have the repair kit for it. I have a new front valance panel to replace the one on there now. The motor is strong, but it does smoke just a bit when you jump on it. I just put a new Edelbrock Performer carburetor on. It has stock manifolds and dual exhaust. The transmission drips a little, but I think that is from sitting. I have the original radio, but it is not working. The wheels are aluminum. The tires are shot. The worst thing on the car is the left rear quarter panel. It looks like the car was rear-ended at some point. I think this is a “California Car”.

1964 1/2 Mustang Hardtop VIN: 5F07D115099

Vehicle Description
This is an all original 1964 1/2 Mustang in "turn key" condition. It has the correct 1964 1/2 details; generator, seatbelts and horns mounted on the frame. I have owned the car since 1997. Since that time the car has had new paint, new tires and new brakes. The motor and transmission were rebuilt 1998. In February of 2004 I had the rear end broke down, inspected and rebuilt. I restored it mainly to be a cruiser and to enter into local shows The glass is all original Autolite and in perfect condition. The seats have their orginal coverings and are flawless. I replaced the carpet in 1999 with an OEM replacement. The new exhaust was installed in February of 2004 (car still has orginal manifolds). In seven years of owning the car I have never driven in in the rain or snow. The radio is the only non original item installed. The dash has not been modified and the new owner could install a reproduction or orginal radio. The specs on the drive train are as follows - 3:00 gear ratio rear end; C4 automatic transmission; 289 cubic inch V8 engine. The paint code is pagoda green but in my opinion is turquoise blue. The car is perfectly straight with no filler or bondo. The paint is 99% perfect with only two small chips on the trunk lid. Mechanically the car is in "drive anywhere shape". I have replaced all hoses and belts over the past 3 years. The car does not leak fluids of any kind. The car does smoke a very small amount a start up.

1964 1/2 Mustang Hardtop VIN: 5F07D114455

Vehicle Description
This neat little 1964 1/2 Mustang Coupe has a 289 4-spd - A/C and Rally Pac! The Mustang is hosted in Carmel, California. It was in storage in Monterey, California for approximately 15 years by the grandson of the original owner. He inherited the the car in the early 80's and proceeded to start fixing it up but lost interest and there it sat.

It has some quite unique and desirable features including 289 V8 engine, factory 4 spd transmission, dealer installed Air Conditioning, and original Rally Pac gauges mounted on the steering column. The serial number is 5F07D114455 indicating that it is an early car, hence it is titled as a 1964 Ford. It is still titled in California. The "D" indicates a 4 BBL carb and interestingly, it has the 4 BBL manifold but is fitted with an adaptor to accept a 2 BBL carb. I just replaced the head gaskets due to a leak in one and was able to inspect the cylinders and found virtually no ridge or wear. In the receipts that I found in the glove box, there was a receipt for a complete engine rebuild in the early 80's.

The car runs and drives good although I haven't taken it any distance. It has a recent brake job and has new tires. The exhaust is very good and the clutch feels fine. The transmission shifts good although the 1st gear synchros might be worn a little and the reverse lockout "T" handle on the shifter is broken. The radiator is new and the motor sounds strong. The original radio is in place but doesn't work and the Air Conditioning, although all there, is not working. The lights all work as do the wipers and the Rally Tachometer even works.

The car sports its original color of Rangoon Red but the paint is 20 or 30 years old and quite faded so it does need paint. I've included some close ups of the body to show several flaws in the metal. The front corners of each door have some bubbling but it appears to be confined to the outer skin only. The front and rear lower corners of the rear wheel openings also have a little rust spot. Although there is a little area of rust on the front of the floor pan, the rest of the undercarriage is clean and solid as you would expect a California car to be.

A complete new interior was installed in 1986 and is still very nice with only some fading on the carpet and some wear on the beading of the driver's seat back. The glass is all good and I just installed new bumpers, new taillight bezels, new gas door, new rear view mirror and some new emblems. The engine compartment was cleaned but needs detailing. With a new paint job and some detailing, this would make a great fun car and a desirable muscle car. Added: April 29th 2007
