Introduction

Alan Stuart
Professional Consigner

The iconic Pony Car with its uprated V8, rear-wheel drive, performance GT package and those oh so iconic exhaust notes.

One of America's most iconic cars, and one of the fastest-selling cars of all time. Its gorgeous styling is courtesy of Gale Halderman, David Ash, and Joe Oros, with its distinctive long bonnet and short boot it became the benchmark of the "Pony Car" concept.

This example is an original "GT", a Mustang variant that gave the driver a better-handling, better-performing car in one neat package. The GT came as a 'A' or 'K' coded chassis, this example is a 'A' code meaning it was fitted from the factory with an uprated V8. The ~255BHP engine requires premium fuel due to the higher compression, ann the GT also has dual exhausts with trumpeters that exit through a special rear valance, GT livery and badges, rocker moulding was deleted, and they received a special GT petrol cap. On the front of the car, the GT package came with a set of fog lights mounted on horizontal bars, a 16:1 quick ratio steering, heavy-duty and stiffer suspension, along with disc brakes.

This auction listing was written from information supplied by Alan after meeting Luke the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

Dawn of the golden age - Luke loves all things 60s, and there's nothing more iconically American and 60s than this Mustang.

Luke loves all things '60s, and this Mustang is his first classic purchase. Luke mentions he couldn't resist the good looks the Mustang offers and mentions it puts a smile on everybody's face no matter where he drives it. He loves the tone of the engine and cruising around on a beautiful day.

Over Luke's year of ownership, he had the underneath undersealed, replaced the door hinges, and fitted a new oil pump along with a new power steering pump, clutch and battery. As Luke purchased the car as his one and only car, he's realised it's a little too nice to use as a daily driver. Therefore he has decided to bring ti to market so a Mustang enthusiast can enjoy it, and purchase something more practical for daily commutes. He'll be happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments below.

Exterior

A genuine head-turner, finished in lovely Emberglo paintwork with its iconic long hood and short deck proportions.

Wheels and Tyres

The car came fitted with 14" chrome wheels, which are great to see still present today along with their red centre caps and wrapped in GT Radial Campiro VP1's all dated 2014.

The wheels look in great condition along with GT tyres - they appear to have a good amount of tread left on them and no signs of cracking from our observations. The centre caps are a little damaged in places, please take a look at the exterior photos and videos to see the wheels up close for yourself.

Bodywork

We're big fans of the Mustang proportions, a true American classic with its long bonnet and curvaceous body. The bodywork of the car appears generally very good, all the panel gaps look in line with the built quality from the '60s. When getting very close we did notice a very small dent in the middle of the bonnet.

Luke replaced the door hinges over his ownership, all moving panels opening and closing with ease now. We have taken hi-resolution images and videos of the car for you to assess the condition of the bodywork for yourselves.

Paint

Finished in a lovely and fairly rare "Emberglo" (Code V) paint - we really like the look of it on this car. The finish on the paint is very good, it's even in coverage across each panel. If we were being really picky, we noticed some areas to the driver's door and just below the rear windscreen where the paint differed ever so slightly.

The images taken are from different angles and reflections to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. Please take the time to fully assess the condition.

Glass and Trim

The glass appears in very good condition with no major cracks, chips or discoloration observed on our visit. All the window rubbers and seals appear in good condition in line with the age and mileage.

The brightwork appears generally very good, we did notice some minor areas of age in the form of pitting. We have captured high-resolution photos and videos for you to review and appreciate the condition of the exterior.

Interior

A proper American interior with its highly original full cream leather and elevated with chrome accents.

Seats and Carpets

The seats and interior of this car are original and show signs of age. The seats hold their shape, but do show signs of wear or tear over the years in the form of cracking and tears. it is a similar story for the door cards.

Luke has some interior parts and fittings purchased as can be seen in the history and paperwork section which would really elevate this car if fitted. The headlining appears in good condition. Take a look for yourself in the history and paperwork section.

Dashboard

Wood-grained dashboard, with 7 large black dials all look in good condition for the age and mileage of the car. Luke reports the rev counter is not working. The odometer showed 91,750 miles on our visit.

We have captured high-resolution photos and videos for you to review and appreciate the condition of the interior.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

A large three-spoke steering wheel and 4-speed manual gear selector appear in good yet used condition, in line with the age and mileage.

Please review the interior media pack for a closer look.

Mechanics

4.7" V8 engine with modern practical adjustments creates effortless acceleration, perfect for cruising on a warm summers day.

Engine and Gearbox

Fitted with an 'A-Code' engine capable of ~255BHP, this 4.7L V8 not only drives great but has a distinctive exshaust note that will put a smile on anybody's face. An automatic electric choke has also been fitted. In the current ownership some other service items have been actioned to including fitment of; a new clutch, power steering pump, oil pump.

The engine bay is presented very well with lots of work carried out to keep it in the condition you see today. We've captured a detailed mechanical video that shows the car out on the road and a view under and around the engine bay. Please take a look at the detailed media pack to see a closer view of the clean mechanics.

Suspension and Brakes

The GT pack came equipped with stiffer suspension, a thicker front sway bar, heavy-duty shocks, a single master cylinder, a proportioning valve, and front discs brakes.

Luke reports the car to drive very well for a Mustang of this era, with the suspension offering a firm and enjoyable ride. A similar story for the brakes too.

The Drive

The Mustang has always been crowned for its comfortable and easy cruising experience. Luke prefers to take a more relaxed approach to driving than these Pony cars have a reputation for and mentions it's a great cruiser for road trips.

Electrics and Other

Luke reports all the switches, lights and buttons work as they should, with a couple of exceptions; the rev counter as mentioned previously, the radio, the temperature control is currently set to the low position.

History and Paperwork

The archetypal American classic and genuine GT example makes for a very attractive Pony Car to enjoy this summer.

The car is sold with history over Lukes ownership, whereby he had the car undersealed, had an exhaust sleeve fitted along with a new battery. He also has a new oil pump, power steering pump and new clutch fitted. In the media, you'll also find a certificate from the state of California, and all the various parts which come with the car and are not yet fitted, including a speaker, various exterior brightwork and interior fittings.

Luke will be happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments below.

Hi Luke,
Can you confirm if this 302ci engine has
been modified to run on unleaded fuel.
Cheers

The reason for fitting that scuttle vent cover is to stop water leaking into the cabin. This is usually due to corrosion in the bulkhead/firewall around the heater blower apertures. Do you know of any corrosion in this area?

Still confusing info regarding engine? If it is a 302 block it is 5.0 ltr but description states 4.7? The heads have no influence on cubic capacity….

There needs to be some clarity on the Engine fitted
to this Mustang. The advert mentions 289 and 302
capacities. Only ‘K’ code cars had Hipo engines.
If this has a 4 brl carb , power is 225 Not 255.
Please clarify this situation so I can bid.
