Vehicle Description
A little history on the 1964.5 Ford Mustang.....On April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang was presented at the World’s Fair in New York and offered to dealers in the U.S. for sale for the first time.
The cars produced at this point in time are today generally referred to as 1964.5 which accurately corresponds to their date of manufacture. This involves cars that were built between March 9, 1964 and July 31, 1964.
Ford didn’t have a Mustang for the 1964 model year, which can also be recognized by the number 5 as the first digit in the vehicle identification number. The number five stands for the model year 1965. From a purely official point of view, there was no 1964.5 Ford Mustang available. It is also true that the “early” Mustangs, meaning the 1964.5 models, were significantly different from the “late” Mustangs, meaning the correctly-named 1965 Mustangs. The technical details are likewise very different and the production numbers for the “early” Mustangs were significantly lower. They amounted to only 17.85% of the entire 1965 production.
The 1964.5 Mustangs are therefore much rarer and also hold the distinction of being the first production run of the world’s most successful car.The special features of the "early” Mustangs include the fact that only the hardtop and convertible models were available.

This 1964.5 Ford Mustang has undergone a rotisserie restoration. Which is a very comprehensive process. This involves completely disassembling the car and restoring every part to like new condition. The steps involved are as follows:
(1) The car is completely taken apart, Including the removal of the engine, transmission, interior, and body panels.
(2) The car body is mounted on a Rotisserie which allows it to be rotated 360 degrees. This makes it easier to access and repair all areas of the car. Once mounted to rotisseries the body and frame are stripped of the paint and rust, and any damage panels are repair or replaced at this time.
(3) The engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and all other mechanical components are rebuilt or replaced with new parts.
(4) The body is primed and painted with a high-quality finish.
(5) The car is carefully reassembled with attention to detail to ensure everything fits and functions correctly. This includes reinstalling the interior, wiring and all the mechanical components.
(6) The restoration is complete with only final adjustments and detailing.
There has been no expense spared to bring it back to like new condition.
