1979 FORD T MUSTANG COUPE - History:
Unveiled in the fall of 1978 for the 1979 model year, the third-generation Ford Mustang was built on the new Fox platform, designed to deliver a more modern, lighter, and more fuel-efficient car than previous generations. This Mustang introduced a new design philosophy while retaining the V8 engines that had made the model so successful.
The Ghia trim level represented the top of the Mustang lineup at the time. It stood out for its more luxurious appearance, featuring exclusive upholstery, wood-grain trim, a higher level of equipment, and exceptionally fine craftsmanship.
Description:
The vehicle shown here is a 1979 Ford Mustang Ghia Coupe, originally from the United States, registered in Belgium in the 1990s and equipped with the famous Ford Windsor V8 302 ci (4,942 cm³) paired with a manual transmission—a combination that has become relatively rare on the European market.
It is presented in an elegant metallic gray exterior paired with a blue interior typical of the Ghia trim, featuring fabric and vinyl upholstery, a dashboard accented with wood-grain inserts, and a full center console.
The car retains its Ford V8 engine, its complete engine compartment, and most of its original equipment. The various serial numbers on the vehicle match across the manufacturer’s plate, the cold-stamped chassis, the Belgian identification plate, and the administrative documents.
The engine compartment retains its original configuration, with no visible major modifications. Despite a long period of inactivity, it appears complete and provides an excellent foundation for getting the car back on the road.
The interior retains a very beautiful, authentic look. The upholstery is complete. The trim, dashboard, and interior panels are well-preserved. A thorough cleaning will restore it to its full glory. The front left seat is torn. The headliner is torn.
The body features original paint that still has a uniform appearance. The car maintains good alignment of the doors and windows, and the various body panels appear consistent.
A few paint chips, normal wear and tear, old touch-ups, and minor surface imperfections are visible, mainly on the bumpers and certain body edges, consistent with the vehicle’s age. Some traces of surface oxidation are also visible on certain metal parts. There is corrosion on the trunk lid.
Overall, this Mustang presents itself as an ideal base for getting it back on the road with a light restoration or for preserving it in its current condition.
This Mustang comes with its original Belgian registration certificate, its Ford certificate of conformity, and an old Belgian technical inspection report, constituting a particularly interesting set of documents for a vehicle of this generation.
