Lot details

Registration No: VAM 578D
Chassis No: 6RO7C204102
MOT: Exempt

  • Presented in Baby Blue with a Blue and Cream interior
  • Comes with a number of invoices from its time in America, totalling some $17,500
  • Imported to the UK in June 2018, with the V5 displaying 2 former keepers

Launched in 1964, the Mustang has become Ford’s longest running nameplate. Available with a choice of straight-six or V8 engines, the definitive ‘pony car’ could be had in open or closed guises with the millionth example being sold within two years of the model’s introduction.

Manufactured at Ford's San Jose, California plant with the optional 289 cu in (4.7 litre) 'C'-code V8 engine, 'VAM 578D' remains V8-powered to this day and is finished in the attractive livery of Baby Blue with Blue and Cream contrasting interior. Imported to the UK in 2018, the Mustang is thought to have formed part of a collection until being acquired by the vendor last June. 'VAM 578D' presents as an older restoration. There are traces of Seafoam Green paint to the bonnet's underside, but the Ford has been painted Blue since at least 1997. Showing 61,483 recorded but unwarranted miles, the two-door Hardtop is accompanied by a number of invoices from its life in America. The majority date from 1997-1999 and total some $17,500 with associated work including overhauls of the engine and sundry other mechanical components. The seller rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, automatic gearbox and interior trim all as ‘good’.
