Doesn't the ad say "Pre-Introduction."
Believe that someone must have changed out the stamped steel pulley's, thinking they were not correct for a 260. I'm not sure if all 260's had stamped steel pulley's, but most I have seen did. Not sure why 289's would have cast iron, maybe an engine assembly plant thing.
If Mustang production started on March 9th, and this car was built on March 25th; how would this qualify as "pre-production"? Early production. I think this guy is full of it.
My convertible has a date of 24C and is Number 103616 whilst this one is 25C and 102212, strange to be out 1400 units and minus a production day but I may be wrong... perhaps the VIN tag was missing and they've guessimated the date...However a very neat car!
I'd just post a wanted ad on here and buy from knowledgeable people I could trust.
Easier said than done IMO. I spent over 2 years searching for a '64 1/2 convertible F code car for my daughter. They are few and far between, with most in very rough, rusted, beat-up, most rare parts missing, shape. And of course thinking you can easily find someone you trust when you run a want ad anywhere is also a real long shot crap shoot.
.....First build day was March 5 (05C on the data plate).And his data plate build date just can't be right, based on the info found here:http://www.early-mustang.com/index.php/64-66-mustang-registryI found listings for 102205, with a build of 16C (March 16), and 102244, built 17C. Those are the closest to his VIN in the database.I found the database when I was looking for info on my '64 1/2 D-code coupe with a VIN of 5F07D103219, and based on numbers before and after, it should have a build of March 23.
