This two owner, California car, was originally sold at El Monte Ford. The factory options included; Shaker Hood, rear wing, close ratio 4-speed, Trac-lock differential, power steering, power brakes, and tilt wheel.
In 2004 a complete “nut and bolt” award winning restoration was performed. Since the car had lived in California all of its life it was not subject to rough weather conditions and was absolutely rust free. Nothing was overlooked in the restoration to make this Mustang exactly as delivered. The attention to detail is outstanding. Everything is factory fresh and in concours condition.
