Vintage Burgundy 1964 Mustang hardtop with a black interior and a 6 cylinder engine.
Vintage Burgundy 1964 Mustang hardtop, left side view with the doors and hood open.
The engine is the base level 170 cubic inch, 6-cylinder. There is lots of room in this engine compartment.
It has an automatic transmission. Look at all those knobs under the dash. The first is probably the 4 way flashers. The second is the parking brake release. I don't know what the third one is. Maybe a manual choke?
Here is a close-up of a floor mounted manual transmission shifter. It is a little pitted. Anyone care to comment what the second position from the bottom is - with the circle?
Trunk is nice and clean. Everything is wrapped in vintage plaid.

This is a 1964 Mustang Indianapolis Pace Car hardtop. This is one of about 185 replicas that were sold in 1964 to the public. Not just any dealer could sell them though. They had to compete for them! The competition, called "Checkered Flag" and "Green Flag" contests, were based on the dealer's sales performance prior to the introduction of the Mustang in April of 1964. The top five dealerships in each district received a Pace Car replica. This car was won by Bennett Ford in Salt Lake City, Utah. The pace cars are all sequentially numbered (VIN) between 111500-126000. They have the same dataplate codes; 65A=hardtop, C=Pace Car White paint, 42=white & blue interior. Many were sold to customers with the stripes and lettering removed. Thirty-seven Wimbledon White 1964 Mustang Pace Car convertibles were created for the actual Indianapolis 500 race. Three of them were modified to be actual pace cars (4-speed transmission, tuned 289ci engines, lowered suspension, and speed rated tires). Another thirty-five convertibles with red, white, or blue interiors were used as Dignitary Cars. They were auctioned to dealerships and sold to the public after the race event.
Left front view of this 1964 Mustang Pace Car hardtop. Notice how the side mirror is missing? Mustangs of this time were shipped to dealerships with their side mirrors inside the car - uninstalled. They would be installed when the dealer prepped the car. Because these cars were picked up by the dealer at the factory, the mirrors were not included.

All Pace Car hardtops had this F-Code 289ci engine. The word "Pace Car" is sometimes visible through the paint on the radiator support - from when it was built.
Each of the 1964 Pace Car hardtops had this blue and white interior.
This Sunlight Yellow 1964 Mustang convertible was on display at the Princeville Illinois 175th town anniversary car and bike show. It had the GT options (fog lights and rear exhaust trumpets) right from the factory. The owner had the dealer window decal to prove it.| PrevPage |
