This Mustang was was built by Ford Motor at its plant in Metuchen, New Jersey. The car is Silver Blue and has just about all its original parts including the engine, transmission, interior, and other major components. The original buyer owned it for almost 30 years until he died about February 1996. I bought it in October 1996. It is now garaged in New York City.
The car has papers and records going back to the original sales order. The car was located for most of its life in Yonkers NY, just north of New York City. The car papers verify that the astoundingly low 50,000 miles (74,000 kms) shown on the odometer is accurate! It is very rare to find a 35 year old car that has been driven only 50,000 miles. (Cars of this age typically have between 150,000 and 250,000 miles and many have considerable more.)
FOR SALE
Because I own another classic Mustang, this car is now for sale. It attracts attention where ever it goes because of its classic lines and Silver Blue color. With its very low mileage, V-8 engine, automatic transmission, near original condition, it might be worth $10,000 but I'm offering it for $9,000. If you are interested in more information about this beautiful car, call: 212 682-3161 days or leave a message.
The car has a 289 cubic inch (4.7 liter), 200 horsepower, V8 engine with 2 barrel carburator. It has cruis-o-matic (automatic) transmission, push-button AM radio, two tone blue interior, and very rare original bumper protectors (bumperettes). The front protectors have an image of Mustang horseheads while the rear bumper protectors have images of horseshoes.
The interior is also just about all original including the seats, seat belts, headliner, visors, and instrument panel. All numbers match. Engine is very clean. The car is not quite concourse correct in some minor details, but with its great paint and overall originality, it has been shown numerous times at Mustang and other vintage car shows.
