Great episode. My first car I bought in 1980 was a 1965 C code Mustang Fastback. I put a Shelby GT 350 suspension on it from Maier Racing with Koni Shocks, and I put 16 inch by 8 inch Enkei wheels with Pirelli P7 tires on it in late 1983, and painted it charcoal grey metallic, with black metallic GT 350 stripes, and shortly after it was finished hydroplaned in the rain into a tree and totaled the car in March 1984. I really miss it, I learned so much restoring it.

There's also an black "Henry Ford II" special in Italy. An italian guy showed up on an US Mustang forum and asked about the Italian '66 K code he just had brought, because it showed to have some weird not orginal options, like an leather interior. It also had similar Campagnolo mags as the Bertone Mustang prototype. Seems the story behind the car was that it was special ordered by Iacocca, modified in Fords prototype shop and shipped to a friend of Iaccoca in Italy. The new owner brought the car from a family that had it since the 60's, as the second owners.

My first car when I was in high school was a 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie XL and it had the same radio setup.

Bunkie Knudsen's wife had a Black 428 CJ Cougar convertible with a custom tan leather interior built for her. Another exec's wife had a Mustang convertible built with the same color combination.

Original FORD Mustang made its debut on April 17, 1964 ('64 1/2). Original price for a barebones Mustang was around $2,300 to $2,400.00. This IS the ONLY Mustang to PRE-date the original model. What a fabulous treat to see this story on this car.

It is a beautiful car and the restoration done has been beautiful as well and I'm sure one pain in the tushy! I always get a kick at cruises and car shows when I see the "mustang and Camaro experts" talking about what is right and not right about our car. Our car my mom and dad special ordered in 1965, we still have the original purchase papers, canceled check, etc and I just love how the experts will tell you everything that is wrong and not right about your car until you pull out the factory documents and show it to them. Well it's true there's a lot of gaslighting that is done out there, there's also quite a few that are very legit and fairly easy to distinguish special production vehicles out there in this case non-production!

Another great episode and a piece of history that I would have missed if not for The Barn Finder. Thanks so much.

I've got a pretty early 64.5 (April 21) and this whole story just made me smile. Even the early production cars had unique quirks but this is something else!

What a terrific person Art is. To not only have the insightfulness to buy the car, but to realise it was an absolute one off piece of Ford history. And to top it off he is perfectly comfortable allowing Hagerty to not only thoroughly inspect & film the car but to sit in it. Many owners of such vehicles won't even let you touch their cars. I have too many other subscriptions to add you Mr Hagerty but I do watch your channel occasionally & find that your feature vehicles are always special.

Lots of Memories including my first ticket on my Junior Prom night for 65mph/55mph zone. Dated my 1st girlfriend in that car. Wow, they were cool cars!

My mom had a 64 1/2 Mustang 289 automatic, red with black interior had smaller wheels with knock off hub caps. Bought used in 65 and drove it for 17 years, 120,000 miles before engine was rebuilt. Great car!

Just came from Royal Oak seeing my family and it's always a pleasure to see a Ford Mustang from that era and finding out and seeing that it was really Henry Ford's II just a delight to see how that car was made. The seams all lead-filled brings me back to my friend in the body shops that used to do with that way back in the 40s and 50s. But then it was built for the man whose name was on the car. And what's truly nice to know is that the car is still running and being driven just like it was back in December of 1963 what a great era what a great car and still around.

This thing is spectacular. And also shows there’s always ways to improve our cars.

What an incredible find!! It’s crazy that the car never left the area after all that time. Great video!!

Good memories for me anytime I see any Mustang! My dad bought me a 1967 3 speed, inline 6cy Mustang in 1977, I was 17. I loved the car, but the clutch was insanely hard to depress, and would constantly bend the clutch arm necessitating a trip to a welder to reshape it. I should have taken the car to a trans shop I knew of that had done an automatic to stick swap for me a year earlier, but decided to sell it instead. After all, it was a 6cyl! 😁 Then, in 1991, I bought a Mustang GT in emerald green. This Mustang saw a few trips to Vegas taking 2 1/2 hours for what was an actual 3 1/2 hour trip. Unfortunately, I had 5 speeding tickets when I bought the car, and had no idea the insurance payment was going to be as much as the car payment! I did keep it for just under 50K miles, but actually got tired of the harsh ride so traded it in on a luxury mobile. 😁😎👍✌🎄🎅

Woah that’s a cool find. As a fairly new convert to the Mustang I had no idea this car existed. Special gets thrown around pretty haphazardly in the car world but this is truly a special car.

Unreal, what an awesome piece of history! Can’t imagine what that car would sell for at an auction!

What he switched on with the radio we called a reverberator. In the 60’s they were pretty popular to buy and install to give it the sound you can hear in this video. This is a really interesting video.

This video brought back memories of the first new car I bought, in1965. I was 25, just got a masters from Stanford and fell in love with the new Mustang , and the one I wanted was a K Code. The first ones had generators and a T-10 trans, and front disc brakes were an option. After a couple months I started seeing them showing up with an alternator and some had the new top loader Ford 4 speed. One day I was driving along El Camino, a mile from the Stanford campus, and saw an ivy green notch back on a Ford lot and stopped to look at it. It was a K Code with alternator and top loader. Strangely, it had front discs standard and they weren't listed on the window sticker. I bought the car for $3000 out the door. There's more to tell but I've rambled on too much. Sorry for the typo in previous post.

I owned a 64 and a half Mustang, red interior, white paint, and the hub caps had three studs I guess that stuck out from the center. If I remember correctly, it was an 8 cylinder 280 ci engine, and a three speed stick on the floor. I noticed on this car, there were reverse lights on the back. If memory serves me correctly, mine had no reverse lights and they didn't become standard or required until 1966. It had a 16 gallon gas tank? maybe 15, and cost less than 5 bucks to fill it. This was back in the early 70's. I miss that car for its look and coolness. I was bored one night, and drove from my hometown of West Haven on I-95 to the NY state line, than turned back and drove to the Rhode Island state line. Hey, I was like 18 or 19 at the time.

Geez Tom. I've owned 4 Mustangs so far and pretty much "thought" I knew the history - but wow! Thank you for doing this!

Most auto ford's from that era would start in second, stay in second if put in 2 with shifter

When you wish you could high five people through the internet, such a nice car and the history alone is awesome

As a 17 year old in 1974, I bought a 1966 Mustang hardtop with a six cylinder. I paid $40 (forty dollars!) for it. It's great being a boomer.
