I know
about this car because it is in the Muscle Car car Museum in Blenheim
There are
also
three other mustangs there .They are two 1964 GT Mustangs and
a 2003
GT Mustang. The first Mustang rolled off the assembly line in1964.
Since then they have remained very popular and
many people around the world.
Random Fact: The first
Mustang was sold to a 22 year old teacher, Gail Wise. According to the
Yahoo.com news article, "she went to Johnson Ford in Chicago. After a tour
of the showroom turned up nothing of interest, the salesman said “I’ve got
something in the back that's really new" — a light blue Mustang
convertible, fully loaded with a 260 V-8 and a power top." It was sold on
April 15, 1964
