The First Mustang Ever Sold Is Still Alive and Roaring

We already know that the first production 2015 Mustang was auctioned off for charity and will meet its owner once it rolls off the production line, but how about we look back at the very first Ford Mustang sold to a customer, one that tells a different kind of story.

Although the first-generation Mustang was launched on April 17, the vehicle you’re about to see below was sold by the Johnson Ford dealerships two days earlier. But that’s not the only interesting fact about it. It may seem hard to believe, but the blue convertible is still in the hands of Gail Wise, the woman who bought it nearly 50 years ago.

Completely restored by her husband after spending 27 years in a garage, the first ever Mustang is now in concours condition, ready to rev its 260 cubic inch Windsor V8 engine.
