About the 1964–1973 Ford Mustang
from the generation archive
The First-Gen Mustang community here covers everything from sleek 1969 convertibles in black to bold 1966 ragtops posed against mountain landscapes and 1967 coupes sporting aggressive hood scoops on the lawn. You'll find these builds in every stage — from bare-metal interiors with wiring harnesses and floor jacks mid-restoration to finished rides with GT/CS stripes showing off in the sun.
The story
This car was a daily driver in Michigan for the first 2 years. When the oil crisis hit, the owner put it in a garage on blocks for 4 years. A short period is unaccounted for before the mortgage broker I bought the car from put about $3,000 into the paint. It was spray painted black with spray cans. The rear clip had to be replaced but the body work is above par. The previous owner and I have put over $5,000 into it. The previous owner had a spouse who insisted on the car being moved out of the garage, IN MICHIGAN. The previous owner refused to put it out on the street. Man did I get a deal. — Todd Hathorne
