were it all started the 19641/2 mustang

It is hard to believe that the original Mustang, so popular and built in such big numbers, would have such low production in the most collectible engine and body style combination. But that’s what we see here in Jose Luis Abraham’s MCA Concours Gold 1964½ classic. This first year Mustang is so rare and hot it’s a Mustang and a half.

It’s a convertible. It’s a K-code. It’s a four-speed. And, perhaps even more unusual, is the numeral “9” beneath “AXLE” on the original door data plate. This digit decodes a set of stump-pulling 4.11:1 gears in a “single track” (as opposed to an Equa-Lock) 9-inch rear end. No doubt, Jose Luis could burn rubber from one end of Santa Domingo to the other—he lives in the Dominican Republic and is one of the up and coming Mustang collectors in the hobby today. He recently added this restored 1964½ Hi-Po to his collection of more than 100 cars that include 40 to 50 classic Mustangs. Jose Luis said in a light-hearted tone, “To be honest, I don’t want to count. I feel if I count too much, I will say I can’t buy anything else.” you can find the complete article; here
