What Makes This Car Special

This 1964 ½ Mustang Convertible we have here at Skyway Classics is a nicely restored model with its stunning color combo of white paint over a tan interior and a tan convertible top.

The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition.

To be a '64-1/2 Mustang it has to be factory-equipped with a generator charging system, a 170ci six (U-code) engine, large horns mounted down on the frame behind the radiator, a center "off" heater fan switch, and a generator charge light, just to name the basics. These are features exclusive to Mustangs built between early March and July 31, 1964.

Mechanical Specs

The U-code engine 170 cubic inch engine was only six cylinder produced for 1964. This inline-six cylinder engine was actually originally used on the Ford Falcon, but was borrowed for the first half-generation of Mustang. It was replaced in early 1965 by a different inline six.

The engine bay is correctly detailed, painted, and very presentable too.
