Finished in what appears to be a burgundy repaint, the car presents well overall with good shine and straight body lines. Panel fit looks consistent in the photos, and the chrome trim and bumpers show nicely without obvious pitting or damage. The American Racing wheels are a period-style upgrade wrapped in new Hankook tires, giving the car a slightly more aggressive look.

Inside, the seats are wearing Pony upholstery that shows light wear but no major tears are visible in the photos. A factory under-dash air conditioning unit is installed, which is a nice feature in warmer climates. The original wood steering wheel adds a touch of class. The carpet appears newer and clean, and overall the cabin presents well.

Under the hood, the inline-six appears largely stock. A fresh tune-up has reportedly been completed, and the seller states the car recently completed a 2-hour drive with no issues. The shock towers and inner fenders appear solid in the photos, which is an important detail on early Mustangs. That A/C compressor is impressively large, and a more modern upgrade may be on the shopping list for the future.

This Mustang shows 97,441 miles and carries a clean title. It’s located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and presents as a usable classic that can be enjoyed immediately. If you’ve been searching for an early Mustang that hasn’t been turned into a restomod, this inline-six coupe offers a good starting point. Would you keep it as a clean inline-six cruiser, or would a V8 swap always be in the back of your mind?
