1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible is up for auction

Although the Mustang has been produced since 1964, there is no official model from that year. However, there is a rare 1964 1/2 Mustang, which was produced from March to August 1964. During that period, 121,538 units left the assembly line, of which 28,833 were convertibles and 92,705 were coupes. One of the Convertibles, a 1964 1/2 Mustang is up for auction.

This 1964 1/2 Mustang is powered by a 4.7L V8 engine with 225 hp (165 kW), paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. It was owned by one person and was equipped with accessories that included a center console, AM/FM radio and a power sunroof, as well as the Rally-Pac package that included a tachometer and clock installed under the dash.

The car has never been restored. The sunroof isn’t perfect, the chassis has some surface rust, and the interior needs some work. No big deal, considering it’s a 60-year-old car, and you’re unlikely to find another unrestored 1964 1/2 Mustang in this condition.

This is an outstanding opportunity to purchase this rare and highly desirable car, which is being offered for auction on ebay. The auction ends on September 18th and the current highest bid is USD $28,000.00.

2024 Mustang Mach-E Rally

After this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, when Ford unveiled the all-electric Mustang Mach-E Rally prototype, now the production version of the rally-inspired car has finally been unveiled.

This electric crossover is finished in Grabber Yellow with two racing lines, and Ford will offer customers a wider palette that includes Grabber Blue, Shadow Black, Eruption Green as well as optional Star White and Glacier Gray. It is equipped with a modified suspension that gives it an additional 20 millimeters of ground clearance compared to the Mach-E GT, specially tuned MagneRide shock absorbers, rally-inspired front fog lights, a Focus RS-inspired rear spoiler, a front splitter, a black steel roof, 385 mm (15.1-inch) front discs with red Brembo calipers, protection on the door panels and fender arches, optional mudguards, towbar and hook on the front. It is mounted on 19″ wheels wrapped in 235/55 R19 Michelin CrossClimate2 tires.

Inside, there’s glossy white detailing that adorns the dashboard, lower steering wheel arms and the back of the Ford performance seats. Door panels feature contrast stitching.

The Mustang Mach-E Rally is powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total output of 480 hp (353 kW) and 652 lb-ft (884 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power for the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 4 seconds. Thanks to the 91 kWh battery, which supports DV fast charging of up to 15 kW, the car has a range of more than 400 kilometers.
