This 1964.5 Ford Mustang was built in April 1964 as a D-code 289 convertible with Cascade Green paintwork, a Palomino interior, a four-speed manual transmission, and a 3.00 limited-slip differential. The car was the subject of a restoration that began in the 1980s but went unfinished before it was acquired from its owner of three decades in 2020 by the seller. The work was subsequently completed in 2025, with a respray of the exterior, a replacement soft top, a redone interior, a rebuild of the engine, a GT-style dual exhaust system, an overhauled suspension, refreshed brakes, and 14″ wheel covers with simulated knock-offs. This Mustang is now offered with a clean Wyoming title in the seller’s name.
The car was delivered from the factory in Cascade Green according to the reproduction warranty plate. The seller notes the quarter panels and floors had been replaced by a previous owner, and the door skins were replaced as part of the seller’s work. The seller tells us the car was mounted on a rotisserie and refinished, and it has a replacement tan soft top that is power-retractable with a replacement pump, cylinders, and lines. The dual exhaust system exits through the rear valance, and the gas cap was also replaced along with lights and lenses.
The 14″ steel wheels wear faux knock-off covers and are mounted with 195/75 Vercelli tires. Braking is handled by front and rear drums. The seller tells us a refresh of the brakes involved replacing the master cylinder, lines, and wheel bearings, while the suspension was overhauled with replacement springs, shackles, control arms, links, torsion bars, bushings, and hardware.
The interior was redone and has two-tone upholstery, bucket seats, a center console, and a cassette stereo. Sound insulation was added under the carpeting.
Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by fuel-level and water-temperature gauges. The seller had a replacement odometer installed for some time, and they recently reinstalled the odometer that registers under 56k miles. Total chassis mileage is unknown.
The 289ci V8 was rebuilt in 2024 with .030″-over pistons and replacement components according to the seller. The harness was also replaced, and a Holley carburetor and a replacement fuel pump, tank, and lines were also installed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a 3.00:1 Traction-Lok limited-slip differential. The exhaust system was also replaced as part of the work, along with the universal joints, clutch, and flywheel.
