SEMA 2011: Build Your Own 1964 1/2 Mustang
One of the most beloved classic cars in the automotive world is the Ford Mustang - dating back to the very first model year 1964 1/2. Collectors and enthusiasts alike have always enjoyed restoring, driving, photographing and generally pining over these cars since that first model and will likely continue to do so until they put the Mustang out to pasture (which I don't expect to be very soon.
The good news for these people? They now have the chance to build their very own 1964 1/2 Mustang utilizing a steel-made frame of the car from Ford Motor Company - at the price of $15,000. The debut - expected for the 2011 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show (SEMA) in Las Vegas that starts Tuesday - will mark the third time Ford has offered a restoration-focused frame to enthusiasts. The story from InsideLine: Quote:
Much like Inside Line says, this would make a great project - so long as you have the cash to fund it. This makes me smile a little bit, to be honest, because it shows that Ford - while still interested in making money - is also interested in helping enthusiasts pursue projects that they will enjoy. That guy who has been looking for a body for a 1964 1/2 through 1966 Mustang so he can restore it? He no longer has to look (though he may need to find a loan officer now). This also goes to show that restoration is still alive and well, so much so that Ford felt it appropriate to wheel this out. I will be interested to see how many - if any - units Ford sells this week in Vegas. What do you think? Would you buy this if you had the scratch?
