Congratulations and good job. I'm certainly glad you used Charles Turner to verify the car. Good call on that one. I'm glad to see the car in dry storage.

Incredible! Congrats on everything! What a great early car! Good luck on the restoration or whatever you choose to do with it! Truly amazing!

 

Ditto!! I can't think of anyone more truely knoledgable than Charles Turner to examine and varify the car!! Great Going!! Good Luck!! Thanks Again for sharing!!!

 

Congrats 211,
also glad to see you hooked up with Charles. Never meet him but from all his posts and positive feedback from others he seem like the genuine article.Unlike others

Is it a 170 six with a Daginham (sp) 4 speed?? shifter looks to have the reverse lockout trigger......
Again, GREAT FIND!! What a GREAT part of Mustang History!! Very Cool!! If I were closer I would have offered to move the car for you for free just for the honor!!

 

Hey congratulations. Nice to see some of the original documentation and your willingness to share this great find with the rest of the mustang community. - Matt

 

Very cool, good luck with the car.

My car was also sold by Hull-Dobbs Ford

Not sure of the era, but here is a pic of the old dealership.

 

I appreciate the way you have conducted yourself with class regarding this discovery and the ensuing discussions. Good luck with your car, regardless of how you choose to proceed.

 

Glad to see the car moved to a new home. What are the restoration plans? 560 cubic inch fire breathing big block?

 

Don't forget the chop and channel along with huge wheel tubs. I think an 871 with dual predator carbs would be a nice touch as well.

 

And zoomies!

 

6HYPOCONV = The original 3 speed was replaced with the 4sp. The original transmission is stored in the trunk.

68FASTWILLIAMS = Thanks for the photo!

DODGESTANG = Still trying to sort things out, these past few feeks have been crazy.

 

Very cool! Thanks for posting.

 

Awesome. I was going to go to the DMV office in Raleigh and do a title search just because the $10 or $20 entrance fee was going to be worth the entertainment factor. I have the same type of documentation for both of my cars which shows they are both around 85K original miles. Statement of Origin. Beautiful!

 

There has been an AWESOME photo discovered from the inspection!! This label was not visible, however it was captured in the background of a photo.

 

I think I found it. Look behind the heater box at the top of this page: Images 1 - IN A BARN, ON A COLD WINTER'S DAY,MUSTANG 211 IS FOUND!

 

Great find - thanks for sharing with the Mustang community. If it were my car I would probably wait a few months to digest what it exactly is that you have and then have a proper restoration performed by qualified people who can document everything - and then I would sell it. It's not going to be worth the $5.5 million that some people think an early car is worth, but it will bring a good return and you can then get yourself a nice restored mustang you can drive and have some $$ in the bank.

 

Mustang211, I along with others very much appreciate that you are
sharing information on your car, thanks very much! Charles Turner is
certainly the right choice for a very knowledgable Mustanger, MCA
judge, restorer etc. to authenticate your car.
I look forward to learning more as time goes on.

 

Let me also thank you for the way you have handled all the crap that has been thrown your way. Many people would have put this forum in their rear view mirror and just gone away, but you've handled this matter with class and I appreciate that. As the previous threads have shown, there are plenty of people who use the anonymity of the internet to flex muscles that they don't have in real life, and that can be a real liablilty to internet forums. You've had this car looked at by someone who is tops in the field and provided photos of some of the things that make this car unique. I don't think you've got a car that's worth an exorbitant amount of money, but I think it is significant with regard to being a fairly original pre-production car and you've got a great opportunity to document a part of the history of our cars that there is not a lot known about. I look forward to more posts regarding this car and I'm confident you will restore this car to the level it need to be restored to.

 

Congrats on the new digs for 211.

Very cool to see that it is inside now. Be careful as mold and mouse droppings are real issues that can affect some people.
Good luck on the find!

 

Thanks for sharing the finds and congrats on the authentication! What exactly is printed on that label? It looks like it possibly says pre-production, but what else does it state?

 

Following DT's lead in using a softer approach.

 

This is great, what a find and thanks for sharing. Hopefully this thread will continue to be productive and not raveled by a few. I would hope that you will continue to share with us the plans for this car. Maybe some people will stay on vacation and not grace us with their presence.

 

sorry tooponies, this had to go as well.

 

Cool! Great pics!

I would save the chrome dealer logo thing and reinstall it post restoration.

 

Following DT's lead in using a softer approach.

 

Thanks!!



Thank you for redacting the post rather than locking or deleting the thread.

 

the "pre production" sticker is an AWESOME find! It is hard to tell what else is on it, hopefully is has some good info on there! Thanks for sharing this incredible find with us all!

looks like the original purchase date was june 7th 1964. I wonder if Hull Dobbs has any othe documentation?
