This is the car that I blame all of my automotive addictions on. When I was a kid my dad always talked about wanting a 64.5 Mustang convertible. He never did and when I came across my first old interesting car in my 20s I bought it just so that I wouldn't spend my life saying I always wanted an old car. 8 years ago my Dad said he was ready and asked me to find him a good one. I found this for him but warned him that I was afraid he wouldn't drive it because it's so nice. Well I was right. He's afraid to drive it. For example he's put 94 miles on it in the last 9 months. I probably put 20 of those on.
A D code 289 makes it an early 289 car. It came from the factory with manual brakes and steering. Those have been replaced with factory power components as has AC been added also with restored factory parts. It is an automatic.
As you can see from the pictures it's in great condition but I would suggest going through it because of the low usage. Asking $28k and you can contact me Stampie at Stampie com or call/text 250-6003 area code 904. It is located in Anderson, SC.

Beautiful car! Every year, the Newtown Lions (Newtown, CT) http://www.newtownlions.com/
search for, acquire, and then raffle off a classic Mustang, usually an early convertible. They already have their 2017 prize car, but they are probably looking for next year's example already. It wouldn't hurt to let them know about this one.
In reply to Danny Shields:
Thanks for the compliment and the lead. I will check them out.
Maybe it's me but 28k for a 64.5 289 convertible seems cheap.

I like the reflections in the paint, showing the Stampie trademark sandal-clad feet. 
Very nice car!

I'm sure my Dad will gladly take more if you're offering. The asking price is a realistic one and based off Hagerty car values in line with the condition of the car. My dad is real about selling it so he's asking a real world price not a higher asking price in hopes someone will buy it high.

I'd be lost without my sandals.

You know I think it was good for him. Kind of a bucket list thing. At least now he can say that he got his 64.5 Mustang.

Guess we're going to get to find out. It's up on eBay now. Be the first bidder and tell your grandkids how you once offered $0.99 for a mint 64.5 Mustang convertible.

And our very own Andy Neuman grabbed the honors.
That's a pretty 'stang. GLWS, and use the proceeds to buy your dad something he will drive the wheels off of.

Already trying to talk him into this.

It ended up at 29.7k on eBay with a very quick deposit paid. It's the high side of what we thought it was worth but not totally crazy high.
In reply to 84FSP:
Thanks. Now the search to find my Dad something that he can actually enjoy. He's mentioned getting an old truck before.
In reply to Stampie:
So, care to share some tips and information on the experience? Im seriously considering trying ebay to send the elky to a new home.
In reply to Stampie:
Just saw the old truck comment. Elky count?
In reply to Dusterbd13:
Sorry but I see my Dad as more of a 5 window guy than a Elky guy.
I've done very well selling vehicles on eBay. For some reason my parents and not my own.
Here's what I do.
1) Try to hit the right time of the year. For example I took the pictures of the Mustang last June but we knew that wasn't the right time to sell. We waited until early spring to put her up for sale.
2) Pictures, pictures, pictures and throw some more pictures in there. I only upload a few pictures to eBay. I host a bunch on my own website and then link them in the listing just like you do here. In fact in this one I copied and pasted the picture link from here and just changed the picture name to get the links on the eBay listing.
3) Keep the listing description short. The description can turn off the buyer but pictures almost always turn the buyer on.
4) I always schedule my eBay listings for 7 days to start 9pm PST (6pm EST) on a Sunday evening. That gives everyone in the country a good time to bid when usually there isn't a lot going on. Obviously don't have it end during the Super Bowl. I've found that the bidding gets a good start with the Monday morning sluffing off at work types.
5) Check your email constantly during the auction. I try to answer any question within 30 minutes of them asking.
Hope that helps.
It helped me. I'm wanting to list my 240SX soon.
Definitely helps. Thanks Stampie.
Just reread above. I got the times messed up. I start my auctions 6pm PST which is 9pm EST. Good luck to you two.
