The Mustang was a huge success right from the start. The car was designed to appeal to a young, sporty audience and was available for as little as $2,368 (which, adjusted for inflation and based on today's purchasing power, is equivalent to about $24,000).

As one of the very first Ford Mustangs—a model introduced in March 1964—this Sunlight Yellow coupe, featuring black faux leather upholstery, a 4.3-liter V8, and an automatic transmission, left the Dearborn plant on May 5, 1964, bound for New York. The Mustang’s history across the Atlantic is unknown. In April 2015, the coupe was imported into Switzerland and underwent its first MFK inspection in January 2016, but has not yet been registered.

The date of first registration listed in the MFK documents is July 1965, which is likely due to the American title from that time. In December 2017, the Mustang was purchased by its only Swiss owner to date. He loved his Mustang and, over the following years, replaced, among other things, the door panels, the carpets, the tires, the brake pads, all wheel brake cylinders, the exhaust system, and the leaf springs. Receipts for parts and maintenance totaling approximately CHF 16,500 since 2018 are available. The beautiful coupe is now in good condition. The most recent MFK inspection as a classic car was conducted in March 2024.
