About the 1964 Ford Mustang Base Convertible
The first-generation Mustang convertible represents the purest expression of American automotive optimism. Launched alongside the coupe in April 1964, these drop-tops captured the spirit of the '60s with their long hood, short deck proportions and endless customization options. From the base 170-cubic-inch straight-six to the legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8, buyers could spec everything from secretary specials to street terrors. The '64½-'66 models remain most coveted, particularly early build cars with their unique features like generator charging systems. Shelby GT350 and GT500 convertibles command serious money, while Boss 302 and 429 ragtops are unicorns. Production peaked in 1966 with over 72,000 convertibles built, but numbers dropped as the muscle car era waned. Today, solid early cars with matching numbers and original interiors represent blue-chip investments, especially in desirable colors like Wimbledon White or Highland Green.
