Mustang Restoration Guide
Car restoration is a rewarding project for many people. Nothing beats the feeling of taking something from ordinary to extraordinary, especially an impressive car.
Read MoreAnyone passionate about the world of performance vehicles has heard of the Ford Mustang. Representing some of the most influential cars in American history, Mustang releases offer over 50 years of innovative designs, luxurious cabin features and bold exterior paint colors for drivers to choose from. The Mustang brand has always been influential in the sports car market, and drivers from all around the world often find themselves on a quest for the first-generation models that inspired so much American muscle.
If you have a vintage Classic Mustang, Top Flight Automotive welcomes you to shop our vast inventory of interior and exterior parts to keep your collector car on the road for generations to come. All of our experts are Ford fanatics just like you, so we are always adding new first-generation Mustang parts to our inventory to support restoration efforts and customization projects. 1964-1973 Classic Mustangs are extremely valuable, so most of our selections are modeled after OEM parts to help you maintain collector and resale value.
Give your Classic Mustang the attention it deserves with high-quality parts in a variety of categories:
The first-generation Ford Mustang went through numerous changes over its 10-year production run. At Top Flight Automotive, we have reproduction parts for every model year.
See an overview of changes by model year below.
First-generation Mustangs are known for comfortable coupe and convertible builds. Part of the fun of restoring a classic Mustang is getting to drive the vehicle to sporting events, Ford-related outings, the race track and judging competitions. When you’re out on the open road, nothing makes the cabin area more enjoyable than upgraded car audio parts from Top Flight Automotive.
Audio technology has come a long way over the last five decades. Swap out broken or inferior speakers in no time thanks to OEM-inspired products brought to you by makers like Scott Drake and Custom Autosound Manufacturing, Inc. At Top Flight Automotive, we strive to make restoration and upgrade projects simple, so our aftermarket speakers are organized by model year for perfect fitment.
Replace the original speakers in your first-generation Mustang with styles compatible with your doors, rear sections and dash openings.
Part of what makes the Ford Mustang so memorable are the logos and scripts that accompany different variants. Your first-generation release left the Ford factory with numerous emblem badges along interior and exterior surfaces, but these pieces can go missing due to changes in ownership, daily driving and exposure to outdoor conditions.
At Top Flight Automotive, we help drivers replace signature emblems with listings for areas like the center of your steering wheel. Easily fill the gap where your original Tri-Bar pony emblem used to be with cost-friendly reproductions. Most of our selections are manufactured by CA, Daniel Carpenter, and Scott Drake with original Ford tooling for a historically accurate look and feel.
Keep your 1968-1973 Mustang cabin in pristine condition with running horse and Cobra snake designs.
You use your first-generation Mustang’s doors each time you climb inside the cabin. Since their interior and exterior surfaces are frequently exposed to UV rays and inclement weather, it’s possible your factory doors show signs of wear. Luckily, Top Flight Automotive connects you to direct-fit door shells by Auto Accessories of America for 1964-1970 Mustangs.
Change out driver and passenger-side doors with premium stamped metal products designed to erase dents, scratches and sun damage. Treat your classic pony car to durable exterior attachments compatible with OEM-style locks, handles and mirrors. The days of settling for used door replacements are over with reproduction Mustang door shells that look exactly like your factory originals.
Need all-new door components to complete your project? Be sure to view our door felts and manual lock sets for a factory-fresh appearance.
The hood area of your Mustang must be smooth and pristine for optimum performance. First-generation Mustangs showcase elongated body builds, making your vehicle’s front end a focal point for all to see. Whether your vintage Mustang was involved in a small collision or you want to incorporate scoops for ventilation, Top Flight Automotive is your go-to source for replacement hoods suitable for all first-generation models.
We only stock our online store with products that meet or exceed factory specifications, so you’ll find options by California Pony Cars consisting of fiberglass for durability, flex and lightweight styling. Increase airflow to the engine compartment and transform the appearance of your vintage Mustang with hoods in the same dimensions as factory installations.
Additionally, Top Flight Automotive carries first-generation Mustang hood insulation sets to quiet your ride. Tame your V8 engine with a dampening system that installs via pre-cut mounting holes. The insulation solutions on our online store include all necessary mounting hardware and reduce unwanted vibrations heard from inside the cabin. Surprise the Ford fan in your life with selections displaying pony logos and Mustang scripts.
Whether you own a classic 1965 Ford Mustang and want to show it off, or you just enjoy looking at older model Mustangs, a car show is a perfect event for you. These events provide the best opportunity to showcase the quality and beauty of your Mustang while appreciating those characteristics of the other Mustangs around you. You will have the opportunity to meet like-minded people who share similar interests as you, and you’ll also know exactly what to expect when you decide to enter your classic Mustang. Read More
Exhaust headers are for the performance-minded driver. Modify your first-generation Boss 302 release with stainless steel exhaust upgrades from Detroit Speed, Inc. These industry-leading exhaust headers are only to be used for racing applications and require the use of the Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame for mounting.
Four separate cylinder head openings increase the flow of emissions so your Mustang’s engine can receive an uninterrupted source of clean air. Boost horsepower with classic Mustang parts and mods that outperform your 1964-1970 stock exhaust manifold. Collectors and restoration experts love these installations, as the stainless steel materials stand strong against corrosion for long-term results.
Vintage Mustangs are great to look at and are very fun to drive, but after owning one for a while, you’ll likely begin to notice some things that you want to update or improve. To start, they are notoriously loud for drivers and passengers sitting in the cabin. The metal bodies transfer vibration and noise to the point where they can make for an unpleasant driving and riding experience. When you couple the noise with the low-back stock seats that come in the original classic Mustangs, it can make for an uncomfortable ride. Read More
