About the Ford Mustang 1st Gen 1964 to 1966

Manufactured globally as the inaugural iteration of the legendary pony car from 1964 through to 1966, the early first-generation Ford Mustang revolutionised the automotive landscape by offering accessible performance and customisation wrapped in an instantly recognisable long-bonnet, short-deck silhouette. Available in hardtop coupe, convertible, and the highly prized fastback body styles, these pioneering models were offered with everything from economical inline-six engines to potent V8 powertrains, establishing a winning formula that captured the imagination of driving enthusiasts worldwide. Within today's classic vehicle market, these early Mustangs hold a consistently strong and appreciating market value, cementing their status as blue-chip American muscle despite never being officially sold new in the Australian market. Their desirability remains incredibly high, fuelled by their iconic styling, rich cinematic history, and massive aftermarket support that makes them relatively straightforward to maintain and upgrade. Consequently, the buyer pool is vast and highly competitive, consisting of nostalgic automotive enthusiasts, seasoned muscle car collectors, and restomod builders who actively seek out solid, rust-free examples—particularly V8-powered fastbacks—to either preserve as factory-original time capsules or transform into modernised street machines.
