This is a beautiful car inside and out and would take very little to restore to it's original condition.
I hold the original bill of sale where it was bought brand new off the lot in Logansport, Indiana!
The car is all original with only 63,870 miles on the standard 390 equipped with a four barrel carb running at about 315HP. It is also equipped with the original C-6 transmission.
This car runs and drives, but needs brake lines.
This is the last year in this style and it is the coined the Special Edition Limited Landau with Ember-Glo Metallic paint complete with the matching Ember-Glo Landau Top and Interior as well as simulated wood grain as an upgraded option for the final year.
The exterior is in great condition with rust in the typical areas - with nothing unreasonable nor unexpected for it's age!
The glass is in excellent condition with no cracks.
The interior is nearly flawless with factory air conditioning (which I haven't used so I'm not sure if it works or not) and power windows and doors! The vinyl seats look great with no rips or tears and the dash, gauges and carpet are all in very condition.
Our favorite highlights ---> Sliding steering wheel, Sequentail lights and Rear Booth Seats!

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms
Tue, 25 Jun 2013The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?" Check out our image gallery above and then let 'em know what you think in the Comments below.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
