Introduced at the New York World's Fair on the 17th of April 1964, the Ford Mustang was primarily aimed at the post-WW2 'baby boomer' generation. Backed by an enormous publicity campaign that included television coverage beamed to over 30 million homes and some 2,500 newspaper advertisements, it proved an instant hit. Soon available in Coupe, Convertible, and Fastback guise, it came with a range of straight-six and V8 engines.

Manufactured in 1965 at the Ford San Jose, California plant, chassis number 5R07C175345 was manufactured with the 289 cu in (4.7-litre) 'C'-code V8 engine, mated to the rarer and desirable manual transmission, in three-speed guise. Costing a base of $2,372 as a notchback, the Mustang is presented today in Pale Yellow with Gold stripes and complementing Black interior upholstery. Understood to have resided in America until being imported from the States to the United Kingdom in 2011, the Ford has subsequently passed through three former keepers until being purchased by the vendor in 2017.

Subject to a respray in approximately 2014, following entry into current ownership, the Mustang benefitted from a mechanical restoration and attention to the electrics. Displaying a recorded mileage of just 62,670 miles at the time of consignment, ‘FRR 49C’ is accompanied by a selection of previous MOT certificates, along with a current V5C document, and is expected to be provided with a fresh 12-month MOT certificate in time for sale.
