Richard and Jacki's Mustang was manufactured in March 1979. The original ownership papers show that their "Muzzy" was first registered in New Zealand at Pahiatua on 27 January 1982 with 27,351 miles on the clock, after being imported from USA. The next owner was then a Wanganui resident in July 1983, before the car was sold into the Auckland area in July 1984, where Richard and Jacki purchased it in June 2007, at which stage it had travelled 67,572 miles.
In 2013 I purchase my Mach 1 and sold my late model RHD 2007 Mustang coupe which I have owned since 2010 for this classic Mustang. My 2007 Mustang was my daily driver and thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle.

The 1969 Shelby was imported into New Zealand in 1973. It was painted black and had two other owners before Ian and Kathie purchased it in 1991.
Ray had wanted a Mustang for a number of years before deciding to import his 1968 GT fastback in 2010. The previous owner was the president of the Western New York Shelby and Mustang Club, and had looked after the car very well.
We met Pete Richardson at a 'Ford Only' day in Palmerston North showing off his beautifully cared for 1968 Mustang Hardtop, repainted in the original Mustang "Lime Gold".
Colin bought his 1967 Mustang convertible in 1989 before moving to New Zealand. He derives a lot of the pleasure from seeing the enjoyment that his seven grandchildren get from the car. Something he didn't expect.
Sandra and Scott's beautifully restored Mustang coupe was originally built in San Jose, California in 1967, were it remained until until being imported into New Zealand in 2006.
This lovingly restored 1967 Mustang Fastback was originally purchased in 1968. It was bought by a New Zealand government employee working in San Fransisco who returned to New Zealand with it in October 1970 at the completion of his US posting. At the time he lived in Wellington and did many trips in the car between Wellington and Auckland, visiting family. He kept the car for 20 years before selling it to another North Island owner, where it as remained since.
Kelvin's 67 coupe was built at the San Jose plant in California in springtime yellow. 38yrs later she arrived in New Zealand, and in 2010 became Kelvin's pride and joy.
This 1967 Mustang convertible was fully restored in Paraparaumu and registered in New Zealand in Oct 2003
Bruce's coupe was originally imported from the US into Dunedin. The first NZ owner did the panel and paint work before selling it to Bruce in 2007. It was in running order when Bruce picked it up in Christchurch, but by the time he got back to Wanganui, it was apparent that the mechanicals needed some major work.
History: This is a low mileage (123000 Miles) unrestored car. The exterior had just been painted before Arthur bought it and he has since painted the engine bay and floor and boot area. The car spent all of its life in Renton Washington (Arthur has the original hand book) and was completely original until Arthur had a "brain fart" and decided to modify it.
This superb 1966 Mustang convertible was imported into New Zealand The 1966 Convertible was owned by one family in Californian. Arthur bought the car as a driver, however during the clean up process Lois said, "You will never be happy with that".By the end of that weekend it was a bare shell. It was then rebuilt over the following 18 months.
This superb 1966 Mustang convertible was imported into New Zealand around 1995/6 by it's first NZ owner, a panel beater from Christchurch. 10yrs later he sold the car to the second owner, who had it briefly before selling it to Nick and Elaine. They have been proud owners for the last 7yrs. Since buying the car Nick has renewed the front suspension, radiator, water pump, and completed some minor repairs, but other than that the car is as it was.
I purchased the car about 10 years ago as supposedly a good car, but it turned out to be a bit of a basket case so a total rebuild was required to bring it to its current standard, including new doors, most body panels were rust disguised with bog, also totally stripped & overhauled the motor, transmission, brakes, the list goes on, 5 years in the making. The end result made it all worthwhile.
Chris's parents bought this 1965 Mustang Hard Top from Willliams Ford in Daly City, San Francisco, and drove it off the lot new. They moved back to Christchurch in 1967 with the car, where it was used as a family vehicle for decades. Later on the car was put into storage for another decade.
The 1964 convertible was fully rebuilt and fitted with a late model EFI XR8 motor, making it a reliable everyday driver. Ian and Kathie's love of Mustang goes back a long way. Ian also raced Mustangs in Central Muscle cars until recently. His passion shows, he says he is now looking to buy a new GT500 Shelby.
