📝 What the seller says

# 1964 Ford Mustang V8 – Original California Car – Daily Driver **For Sale: 1964 Ford Mustang V8** This is an original California Mustang that's been driven and enjoyed—not hidden away in a garage. It starts, runs, and drives great, and I drive it to work every day. The paint has faded from years in the California sun, and there are a few small areas of surface rust on the body. However, what makes this Mustang truly special is what you **don't** see—the **rust-free chassis**. Anyone who has looked for an early Mustang knows that finding an original California car with a solid, rust-free underbody is becoming increasingly rare. Most cars from the Midwest or East Coast have significant rust issues that are expensive to repair. **Highlights:** * Original California car * V8 engine (believed to be either the original 260 or a replacement 289) * Reliable daily driver * Rust-free chassis and undercarriage * Clean, straight body with only a few minor rust spots * Sun-faded paint that's ready to enjoy as-is or restore to your taste This Mustang is an excellent candidate for someone looking for a classic they can drive today while restoring over time. The expensive part—a solid, rust-free foundation—is already here. If you're looking for a genuine first-generation Mustang with California history, this is one worth seeing. **Price:** $___13500_____ Serious inquiries only. No tire kickers or lowball offers. If you're looking for a solid classic Mustang with an outstanding foundation, this car is worth every penny.

1965 mustang with 22k miles (possibly original) come with a 289 V8 black pony interior new suspension front and rear front and rear KYB shocks new fuel tank, aluminum radiator, MSD ignition new battery the car has hooker headers so its kind of loud I do have the original intake and carburetor there are new drum brake on the car as they only have 500 miles on them there are 14 inch wheels I may have the original 13 inch somewhere but no hub caps the wheels a five spoke American racing wheels. Last major upgrade is an electronic power steering assist with the original gear box so that it drives like a modern car.
