Early
1965 Ford Mustang Project
Resoration by Select Motors

Our Ford Mustang Convertible
project car is what enthusiast refer to as a
1964 ˝ Mustang. 
These first Mustang models were offered in a
coupe or convertible and featured a base
170-cubic inch six-cylinder engine with a
three-speed floor shift transmission. An
optional 260-cubic inch V-8 engine was
available, in addition to a four-speed
manual transmission or a three-speed
automatic "Cruise-O-Matic" transmission. The
Falcon platform Mustang featured full wheel
covers, bucket seats, carpeting, and a
padded dash. The Mustang made its world
debut at the World's Fair in Flushing
Meadows, New York.
According to Ford, 22,000 orders were taken
the day of its debut. This came as quite a
surprise to Ford executives who had
predicted annual sales of about 100,000
units. Within its first 12 months, Ford
would sell close to 417,000 Mustangs
The early 1965 Ford Mustangs (64 ˝ Mustang)
were built in early March to July 31, 1964.
Some of the unique features these cars have
are as follows;
The "64 ˝ Mustang" was factory equipped with
a generator charging system.
The "64 ˝ Mustang engine options were; a
170ci six (U-code), a 260 2V (F-code), or a
289 4V (D-code) low-compression.
Our Mustang project car has the distinction
of being a "D" code car. The "D" code
designates the first 289 4V V8 cars. The
289 V8 was not so common on the "64 ˝" or
'65 model Mustang. The majority of the
first year Mustangs had 170 cid six
cylinders or 260 cid V8's.
The "D" Code is found in the 5th digit of
the VIN, which designates which engine was
installed at the factory.
Our car was equipped with a generator,
another earmark of the 64 ˝ cars, which our
customer wanted to keep for ascetic
purposes.
In addition to keeping the generator our
customer also wanted to add air condition.
With an A/C compressor clutch pulling a
heavy electrical load and electric fans on
the condenser and evaporator the generator
would surely have a hard time carrying the
load.
Don Allen at Don's Starter & Alternator in
Florence, Oregon, built an alternator in the
original generator housing, a product he
calls a Gener-Nator.
This new alternator would surely carry the
load of our added accessories without
compromising our under hood layout.
With the "Gener-Nator" installed we then
fabricated brackets to install a small
Sanden air condition compressor below the
new alternator.
A high efficiency serpentine type condenser
will then be added in front of the radiator
with small electric fans that are engaged
with the compressor.
Our air condition refrigerant lines will be
tucked out of the sight where possible and a
Ford under dash add on air condition
evaporator unit will be used inside the car.
In the end we'll have a very efficient air
condition system with as few installation
eye sores as possible.
