Also tbf to cars now days, many would be fine if people actually wanted to keep them. But theres kind of a throw away culture in modern america, where people think a car is bad because its been 100K miles and lack of proper care and maintenance has the car running worse and theres obvious wear and tear. If you really love a car you can make it last forever usually
Beautiful lady and special car. I was 16 when the first Mustang hit the street. I loved them then and still do, I restored my 65 and still get a kick out of driving it.
The first mustang ever sold was to a pilot in Newfoundland, Canada. Only recently the pilot who lost the car years ago and the man who sold it to him will be reunited with the car this year. Look it up amazing story
@@saycat6758 Yes, serial #5F08F100001 sold by car salesman Harry Philips working for George Parsons Ford dealership in St.Johns Newfoundland. Sold to Capt.Stanley Tucker. Eastern Provincial Airlines.
Love the story. I also kind of lived the story. My dad bought a new Mustang convertible 260 V8 automatic in May of 64. The salesman told my dad it was the fifth convertible built. I was the kid with the cool dad. The reaction we got back then was crazy. It seem like everybody back then love the Mustang. Fun times.
Really cool little car my dad had a 65 convertible.... and later in in life he bought a 66 coupe which I had the opportunity to drive for a few years it was pretty awesome...... I'm glad I got to share an awesome memory with my dad like that ... r.i.p. dad I'll see you later man thanks for everything you taught me ...
I’ve only just found this now but what a fantastic story! AND what wonderful custodians of such an iconic car in history! I’m in Australia & my first memory of any Mustang on our roads was late 60’s or very early 70’s! I fell in love there & then! Now in my mid 50’s I have a 1968 GT390 fastback in Acapulco blue. It’s still LHD & I love driving it in good weather of course. It’s never been restored & has a beautiful 50 year old patina. Again, a lovely video👍🏻😎
Wow What a joy to see how you have maintained and restored that beauty....beautiful story. My cousin had a navy blue 64 convertible white top and interior that her parents bought her for our senior year in high school..I think they bought it in may or June of 64 ..so no threat to your date
So cool. In our Chicago suburb neighborhood, the Beatles had just been on Ed Sullivan...then around the same time, Dr. Vogel drove home in his Caspian Blue Mustang. Unforgettable!
There is just something magical about the mustang. I was born in June 1964 and tried to buy a 1964 with a 260 V8 3 speed standard shift but my stepdad said he wasn't loaning me $920.00 for a car that needed floor pans replaced. This was in 1980, instead he bought me a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR 7. I consider myself blessed to have owned that beautiful Cougar. Even now at 56 years old I still keep a mustang, A 1983 GT sold new in Texas car with a 5 speed and a 4bbl. Thanks for the memories of my youth.
My first Mustang and also, the first Ford i buy in my life, is a 2005 GT. very solid car, no problem, only maintenance. now, 110,000 miles on it, with more then 400 drag races (1/4) on drag track in 9 years. Very impressive.
Sweet story, glad they kept it. When I was a teenager in Denmark, a friend of mine had a dark blue 64 convertible, 289 with a four speed manual. Cars weighed a lot less back then and with the stick shift the torque was really impressive. Roof down until we all caught a cold, as you do. Good times.
In 1968, my folks bought a Pontiac LeMans 2-door coupe. 350 ci engine, power steering, tilt, A/C, am radio, vinyl top, gauges and headrests. Really nice car. We drove it for over 200,000 miles.
According to the official Ford Mustang website, “The Very First Ford Mustang Produced, VIN 0000001, Was Sold to Canadian Airline Pilot Stanley Tucker In St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada on April 14, 1964 for $2,368. The Official Launch Date for the Mustang Was April 17, 1964, But Tucker Was Able to Buy His on the 14th; Which Makes This the Official Purchase Date and the Very First Mustang Ever Sold”. So, someone else DID buy their Mustang on the 14th!!
I met Mr. Tucker and his family. What a nice guy! He came to the Ford Rouge Factory Tour (Dearborn Assembly), during a trip to Detroit last year during which a dinner took place honoring him. I was a presenter there and met hime on the walkway. He ran the Ford store in St. John’s in 1964. The car is in the Henry Ford Museum, and has a Newfoundland tag. However, that car was not the first one produced. I don’t know if it really has VIN 0000001, but the first one produced is on display in the Legacy Gallery at the Rouge Plant (where it was built, as were all the Mustangs through the early 2000s. It is a white convertible with white interior. It, too, was sold to a customer, and later acquired by the museum and restored. I have this on good authority from the curators at the museum.
Theotis Gomulka -> Thank you for the interesting information. We will probably never know which is actually the first Mustang ever. There was also a prototype built before all other Mustangs were mass produced. Not sure what happened to that one.
the color is gorgeous. remember Dad had one when it first came out. we lived in Chicago. Dad was rolling in the money. Had Had the 1963 Lincoln Continental rag top, 1962 Cadillac, 1960 Thunderbird and a bunch of other cars. Boy, would I love to have those today.
I remember my babysitter putting me on her lap and letting me steer her bright orange 65 orv 66 Mustang as she drove real slow down an empty street in about 1967!! : ) This is an ICONIC PART OF HISTORY FOR MANY OF US!! : )
I was an English 8 yr old kid in Minnesota in 1964. This was the best car I'd ever seen and remains my favourite American car of all time! I love this car. I'm 64 now, but one hellofa quirk of fate one of my in laws own a 65 Mustang, fully restored from the bones up. It's now better than show room condition but it's built in "Rally" mode! I'm gonna try and persuade him to get a 68 "Bullitt" Mustang to restore! Then they can share part of his garage, along with an E-Type Jaguar!
my mom bought one in 67, she was 17.........I learned how to drive on it in 92.......then drove it to the police academy in 97. I got paralyzed in 98 and my dad picked me up from the hospital in it to bring me and my wheelchair home. All our other vehicles were trucks and to high to get in.
You bought that mustang a day after my birthday mustang is close to me my mom got a 2014 mustang in 13 and got a focus a year later becuase me and my sis were getting bigger my mom passed away in December 8th 2018 so i will always love mustang it reminds me of her
I’ve been to Johnson Ford on Cicero Ave. near Diversey. I believe they were on the west side of the street. I had a 65 Ford too but I bought it used at Gateway Chevrolet on Milwaukee Ave.
April 17 1964 I was no more than an egg waiting for the dance sometime in the middle of March 1964. I would have loved to have seen the debut of the Mustang. I've owned two 79 302 Pace Cars.

I really love the early Ford Mustang I bought one in October 1984 and it was built in Dearborn Michigan in May 1964 as the Vin plate code indicated...Anyway mine was totally original including a Generator instead of an Alternator. My parents Bought a 1965 Ford Mustang New back in February 1965 at Bay Shore motors in San Diego, and theirs had Disc Brakes and alternator . I sold my car back in 1992 because I needed the funds to get married. I later purchased a 1967 Mercury Cougar but I have found it is not the same as the Mustang because it is so much harder to get parts for it!!!
mercury cougar? idk what year it is but every day i see this one just sitting in this dude's front yard with a "for sale" sign on it, was never able to stop and talk, though it's been there a while, currently it's under some snow and slowly sinking into the ground :(
1964, that was the year I turned 16 and was able to buy my first car, a '30 Model A Coupe. Now it's fully restored and I still own it as well. But I sort of wish I could have bought a new Mustang as well,, anywhere from '64 to '68. A ragtop or fastback version would now likely be worth more than my Model A. But I still couldn't have more fun with another car.
Nice story. My mom bought a 66 convertible brand new and she kept it for years and had it restored in the late 1980's. I've had it for awhile now and have just completed its second restoration. It's insured by Hagerty actually!
Correct Gail's Mustang has serial number 100212. She only got it because the dealer didn't follow instructions from Ford not to sell the car until the 17th. He wanted to make a sale and I don't blame him!
The first sale counts and not the first one made, the first mustang to begin exploring the world was Gail's . To all the fella's out there , a lady was THE first owner of a mustang.

Beautiful people, beautiful car, good restoration work. I wish I had such a grandmother and grandfather. [Красивые люди, красивая машина, хорошая работа по реставрации. Вот бы мне таких бабушку и дедушку.]
Another great Hagerty Classic Car story. Gail made history and didn't even know it. I read on another website that Gail's parents were FORD people and had a '49 and then a '57 Ford while Gail was a child. Great great story. Thanks.
That design still looks great after all these years. If they produced them with more fuel efficient engines today, they probably would still sell well.
I also was a kid living in Chicago when these came out in 64. I wasn't sure if I liked them. My dad then bought a 65 stang and later handed it down to me. We put over a 100k miles on that little Mustang.
back when new car models were a big thing!! the mustang was the biggest.! those cars still look great and still turn heads almost 56 years latter! park her mustang next to a 2020 convertible, hers will draw the people.
The car might end up in a museum for everyone to enjoy. My dad bought a beautiful black 67, with red interior. He wanted it to drive back and forth to work. He bought it from the daughter who owned our local corner market. He promised when I graduated from high school, he’d give it to me. Unfortunately, I never got the Mustang. The first week of June there was a family wedding. My parents had left early, and I was waiting for a limousine to pick me up at our house. I was occasionally looking out our front door. I noticed 2 younger guys who appeared to be in need of a shower approach the Mustang. Since the car looked almost new, they were standing beside it ogling it and after a minute walked away. As they walked down the street, I saw the limousine inching its way looking at addresses. When it came to a stop in front of the house, the two began a new rant. Pointing and carrying on. I was more than uncomfortable. But I went across the street to check, and sure enough my dad hadn’t locked it. I punched both locks down, asked the chauffeur to wait a minute as I went around the house locking all the doors. I hesitated, but the chauffeur opened the door of the limousine for me, I got in, gave him my dates address, and we left. I looked out the back window and that’s the last time I saw the Mustang. The next morning my folks woke me asking where I had parked the Mustang. My dad had only himself to blame, I was pissed my graduation present had been stolen. Instead, my dad bought me the ugliest 1976 blue, LTD coupe. I really hated that car.
That is the most amazing story I have heard, the old mustangs are better than what's out now, back in those days quality control was a thing and the Ford motor company took pride in what they built, today its embarrassing what Ford has done, they have a new mustang that's all electric and it it's not a mustang it's an electric SUV.
This is most definitely not the first mustang sold, but this is a cute story and I’m so glad the owners got it restored. Surprised Hagerty doesn’t know this.
Everybody of a certain age has a mustang story. Basically, it was just a rebodied Ford Falcon, just looked much cooler. What I'm glad to see is that they restored it to original, no hot rodding, no nothing it didn't have originally, tho it is often a good idea to upgrade the brakes to disc brakes.
Wrong, uses Falcon parts but nothing else is the same as the cabin and engine is further back. As for hotrodded? It has the wrong airfilter for that model so probably a 4 bbl etc.
@@ldnwholesale8552 um say what? It uses falcon parts... duh that's what I said. A wrong air filter makes you think it had a 4 bbl? That's mighty presumptuous of you. It probably has whatever period filter they could lay their hands on, doesn't mean crap about what carb it may or may not have had at one time or another. At any rate it's not sporting headers and a big carb and all that typical crap now. You must be a cop, making such huge leaps with your assumptions with no evidence to back it up that's how cops work. Make an assumption and make you prove your innocence.
I can't believe how ruined it became. It is stunning. You two look so cool tooling around with the top down. I had a 69 meadowlark yellow one with black convertible top. Where is it today?

My all-time favorite car is the 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang. 👍 I loved the story and was wonderful; she still has the car.
That is the most amazing story I have heard, the old mustangs are better than what's out now, back in those days quality control was a thing and the Ford motor company took pride in what they built, today its embarrassing what Ford has done, they have a new mustang that's all electric and it it's not a mustang it's an electric SUV.
Love that beautiful mustang
This is most definitely not the first mustang sold, but this is a cute story and I’m so glad the owners got it restored. Surprised Hagerty doesn’t know this.
What a beautiful Stang.
Beautiful car and it makes me want one.
Totally ran that stop sign at 2:46
Beautiful car , great story. Thanks
damn love mustangs. i have had 4 over the years. my favorite was my 2001 gt.
I thought Brian Williams bought the 1st one.
It was out of the first run for sure. The first run of Mustangs off the production line were all convertibles.
He helped build it.
@@fposmith That was a joke. William's got caught with big lies.
Great video!!
Mom and dad had the first Ford mustang car when I was a little boy. DETROIT!!!!!
Hagerty, you have good stories. Smiles to yer team... Oh, and good comenters too... :)
Everybody of a certain age has a mustang story. Basically, it was just a rebodied Ford Falcon, just looked much cooler. What I'm glad to see is that they restored it to original, no hot rodding, no nothing it didn't have originally, tho it is often a good idea to upgrade the brakes to disc brakes.
Wrong, uses Falcon parts but nothing else is the same as the cabin and engine is further back.
As for hotrodded? It has the wrong airfilter for that model so probably a 4 bbl etc.
@@ldnwholesale8552 um say what? It uses falcon parts... duh that's what I said. A wrong air filter makes you think it had a 4 bbl? That's mighty presumptuous of you. It probably has whatever period filter they could lay their hands on, doesn't mean crap about what carb it may or may not have had at one time or another. At any rate it's not sporting headers and a big carb and all that typical crap now. You must be a cop, making such huge leaps with your assumptions with no evidence to back it up that's how cops work. Make an assumption and make you prove your innocence.
Wow! that is incredible
amazing... its so well maintained as well!!
well after he restored it I guess...
I bought the first mustang but , January , 1964, never took ownership. Uncle Sam sent me to Nam. My Mustang was repossessed while I was away.
Awesome year 1964and a half. My mother's birthday tooo#!!!!
I can't believe how ruined it became. It is stunning. You two look so cool tooling around with the top down. I had a 69 meadowlark yellow one with black convertible top. Where is it today?
Driving a convertible everyday to work through Illinois winters couldn’t be the most practical thing to do. No wonder it got beat to hell
Awesome story.
2:47 Cuz who needs stop signs right? lol
Ha! 5:40, how cool is that, the clock still works!
It will still work, even if the owners are dead......
The owners are still with us.
Well... it'd be lame to RESTORE a car and not repair/refurbish the freaking clock!
That little 260 sounds pretty stout.
Haha the dealer sold it early
same thing with my 66 mustang 289, police pull me over just to look at it lol
Me too, 69. Or was it all of my girlfriends they were looking at
Awesome camera work st the end of the video
Only dream to own this rare beauty
My grandad has a mustang in a barn, I'm not sure what year it is, and I don't think he has driven it since the 80s. I'll ask him next time I see him.
2:47 Blew the stop sign.

Billy Boots Where? Anyplace I ever drove if it said STOP you come to a full stop.
john macleod well here in atlantic canada you dont have to COMPLETELY stop, you just gotta slow down a bit.
