Body Series: 09 - 2+2 Fastback<br />
Engine: A - 289 4v V8<br />
Colour: 3 - Poppy Red<br />

With the exception of some changes and additions of a Edelbrock Inlet, Holley Carb, Chrome air cleaner and Rocker Covers this car still retains its stock factory specs as listed above. The Data-plate corresponds to the above and we have the decode print out in the History File. Quite an exceptional feat in a car that has had over half a century of service and use. Has also had the benefit of an earlier restoration in the States which included the fitting of new floors and there are over a hundred detailed photos,including the stripped out floors, that can be viewed in its Flickr album link:<br />

And what a great looking car these early Fastback Mustangs are! This car is especially good to drive and has just completed a 1200-mile tour of Scotland with us without missing a beat-not bad for a 52 year old classic! And wherever it is seen (and heard) everyone just loves it!!<br />
