1966 Ford Mustang 289 Notchback

This is a remarkable Ford Mustang 289 'Notchback' Auto that has covered just 14,500 miles from new, and drives like it too!

Finished in Silver Blue with a two-tone Blue interior, the car was specified with the following options from new:

289 V8 Automatic

Deluxe seat belts front and rear

Power steering

Air conditioning

Wire wheel covers

Purchased by an elderly lady on 14th July 1966, the Mustang was her pride and joy and she insisted on 'her' car being looked after by main dealers only, until her sad passing in 1969 whereupon her husband then stored the car until 1975. Early service records in the comprehensive history file confirm these events and even the original rear window sticker, owners manual, and warranty card are still present.

The next owner was an MCCA judge who knew a 'proper' car when he saw one and stored his new purchase in a purpose-built climate controlled storage facility until 2004 with the car only emerging briefly for shows and Concours events. At this point, it was sold to its next keeper, also an American Mustang enthusiast, who enjoyed the car up until 2015 covering just a further few thousand miles. When this cossetted Mustang arrived in the UK in 2015, it had covered just over 14,000 miles.

Today the odometer indicates some 14,500 miles and the car comes with lots of original paperwork, letters from the original owners, the owner's handbook, and significant bills, receipts and paperwork. It starts and drives really well, and looks and presents as a very original car should. Most definitely not to be considered as "just another 289 Notchback", this unmolested car is very special, possibly even unique in Europe, and is a classic example of 'preservation over restoration'.
