'The Mustang can be tailored to be anything from a gentle in-town car to an impressive 130mph highway performer. Undoubtedly its almost infinitely variable personality is one of the car's chief attractions...' - William S Stone, 'The Ford Mustang'.
Ford created a new class of car almost overnight with the introduction of the Mustang sports coupé part way through the 1964 season, catching the rest of the US auto industry off guard. Brainchild of Lee Iacocca - subsequent saviour of the Chrysler Corporation – the Mustang is one of the most remarkable automotive success stories of modern times and arguably the pinnacle of his long career with Ford. Aimed at the affluent young, for whom a car was as much a lifestyle statement as means of transport, the Mustang succeeded brilliantly, achieving sales in excess of a quarter million by the end of '64. This remarkable debut was followed by a staggering 524,791 sales in 1965, earning Ford a fortune.
The secret of the Mustang's success was a broad appeal that extended beyond the target market thanks to a great value-for-money package combining sporty looks, decent economy and brisk performance. Mustangs could be ordered in specifications ranging from six-cylinder 'economy' to V8-powered luxury, while customers could choose from an extensive range of factory options, with the result that seldom are two Mustangs identical.
The accompanying Marti report shows the car was ordered new with the 289 V8 engine in Wimbledon White with Red bucket seats, and sold on the 17th January 1967 via Johnny Bolton Ford of Florida. It was specified new with power steering, power disc brakes and air conditioning, as well as the Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. After spending most of its life in the US, it was imported to the UK from California in 2008.
It is understood that the car has been restored to largely original specification with significant attention to detail in all respects. It has attended many American-car shows, including the Mustang Owners' Club show where it has won various awards including 'Best Car For Its Year'. Indeed, two large files of history and numerous award trophies are a testament to the appeal of this slice of Americana.
