Mustang Convertible hire
For a stunning self-drive American muscle car, new to our fleet is this beautiful very early Ford Mustang convertible hire car.
Our Mustang convertible started life in California in 1964 where it was number 800 off the production line. Thereafter it lived and was rebuilt in Wisconsin, before being imported into the UK after a professional restoration instigated by the previous owner.
A wonderful rebuilt very early 289 Mustang Convertible in Rangoon Red, this car drives as well as it looks. It has a stunning white interior with four seats, and a white power hood with matching cover. The car also has whitewall tyres and styled steel wheels.
With it’s twin exhaust 289 cubic inches V8 engine and 4 barrel carburettor, the Mustang pulls with gusto and sounds fantastic. It has automatic (‘Cruise-O-Matic’) transmission for smooth shifting. The car is also equipped with servo assisted disc brakes on the front, for more modern and safer stopping power.
Please note that our Ford Mustang car for hire in Yorkshire is left hand drive.
We also offer a 1969 Mustang Fastback
History of the Ford Mustang
The earliest examples of the Mustang, produced from March 1964 to July 31st 1964, are known unofficially as 1964½ cars. This model is of course the first one, the car that set in motion the phenomenon known as the “pony car”.
Probably the most successful new car debut in history, the 1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible remains to this day one of the most collectible classic cars. The 1964 “D code” 289 (of which ours is one) was top dog of these early Mustangs putting out a respectable 210 horsepower.
‘Goldfinger’ was the first major motion picture to show a Mustang. James Bond drove an Aston Martin DB5 while chasing Tilly Masterson in a white 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible. The scene was filmed at Furka Pass in the Swiss Alps, shortly after the first Mustangs rolled off the assembly line. Bond’s center caps popped out and became spinning blades, which slashed the Mustang’s tires and destroyed the body panels.
