remains in place. It shows very little
evidence of use and even with white
seating surfaces, it looks crisp and
fresh, a testament to the quality of the
work and meticulous ownership. The
trunk is detailed with a correct mat
and a full-sized spare tire with correct
bias-ply whitewall tire.
We have every reason to believe
this is the original 260 cubic inch V8
engine, which was the only choice in
your new pace car. It’s rebuilt to stock
specs and looks great with Ford Blue
dress-up parts. They were exception-
ally careful to get the details right,
from the decals to the hoses and
clamps, and even a reproduction Motorcraft battery. Power steering is a
desirable upgrade on any early Mustang and the C4 3-speed automatic
transmission makes it a car you can
drive anywhere, anytime. It runs great,
as you’d expect from America’s favorite pony car, and the single exhaust
system has just the right sound. The
undercarriage is clean and tidy, albeit
not detailed for show, but the original rear end has a red oxide center
section like it’s supposed to and 3.00
gears inside. Standard steel wheels
with hubcaps and bias-ply whitewall
tires give it a totally authentic look.
Look up the history of these cars
and you’ll quickly realize that this is a
very rare opportunity. Far more than
just a clean Mustang coupe, this is
one of the rarest Mustangs of all. Call
