This charming 1964 ½ Ford Mustang Coupe is a rare and matching numbers example of an early classic pony car. It was purchased by a gentleman named Stephen Shpock who lives in Montoursville, PA. Stephen’s father worked for The Ford Motor Company at the factory in Metuchen, NJ factory so he was a Ford enthusiast from a young age. When Stephen discovered this car at Carlisle he knew it was special because it was a matching numbers 1964 ½ Ford Mustang Hardtop with desirable options. He collaborated with a local restorer in 2010 to undergo a complete restoration. His vision was to restore the car the way it was originally built from Ford. He salvaged as many of the original parts as possible. He also sourced as many original and correct parts as possible. The restoration was completed in 2012 which resulted in a beautiful example. Stephen enjoyed the car for the next ten years before selling it to MS CLASSIC CARS in October of 2022. This is the first time MS CLASSIC CARS has offered it for sale.

The exterior of this car looks gorgeous with its timeless design and beautiful color. From the information gathered the body retains most of its original sheet metal. It was noted that the rear quarters were replaced during the restoration. The 1964 ½ Mustangs were outfitted with a more rounded edge around the hood. The body is straight with overall good fitment throughout. It was repainted in its original factory color of Guardsman Blue. This is a rare and very desirable color among first generation Mustang enthusiasts. The paint is show quality throughout and has recently been detailed to a brilliant shine. The front windshield, vent glass and rear quarter glass was replaced new. The door glass and rear window is original Car-Lite stamped. Everything on the exterior was restored or replaced. The 1964 ½ Mustangs didn’t have a cable on the gas cap. The car sits perfectly on 14” steel wheels with the correct spinner hub caps with Mustang in the center. The wheels are wrapped with new US Royal Safety 800 6.95x14 whitewall 4-ply tires that were added by MS CLASSIC CARS.

The interior of this car also looks gorgeous with its timeless design and complementary color combination. It was re-finished in its original factory colors of White Vinyl with Blue trim. Everything in the interior has been restored or replaced such as the headliner (which does show some wrinkles), sun visors and brackets, rear view mirror, dash pad, dash, black gauge bezel and gauges, dash knobs, dash temperature controls, radio, black glove box door with emblem, steering wheel, door sills, door panels and arm rests, door handles, window cranks, bucket seats with trim, front seat belts, rear seat, center console, shifter, pedals and carpeting. Everything in the interior is in working order with exception of the original AM radio. The trunk compartment was nicely restored and painted body color. It was outfitted with a correct style trunk mat and matching full spare tire with jack.

The engine compartment is nicely detailed throughout with many correct parts and stickers. It was repainted in the correct shade of black on the firewall, inner fenders and radiator support. The driver’s side inner fender retains its original factory VIN stamping. The car is powered by its original born with 260 V8 that was completely rebuilt during the restoration process. The engine casting number is #C40E-6015B and the date casting is #4C16 which is March 16th, 1964. The engine was repainted in the correct shade of black and blue valve covers. It’s equipped with a correct factory Autolite 2-bbl carburetor, blue air cleaner and black radio resistance wires. The new battery has been outfitted with an Autolite battery topper. The engine is cooled by a new correct style radiator. The engine breathes through factory manifolds and new exhaust system. The engine is coupled to the original born with C-4 automatic transmission that was completely rebuilt during the restoration process.

The undercarriage is very clean throughout. When it was discovered it had undercoating so the undercoating was left during the restoration process.
