Disney Magic Skyway Mustang Used In 1965 New York World's Fair Up For Auction | Carscoops carscoops
A unique 1965 Mustang is up for auction that has a surprise, but it’s not hidden under the hood, but under the body.-designed Magic Skyway Ride at the New York World’s Fair in 1965. Eleven convertible Mustangs were used for the ride, and only three are known to still exist.
There is a little bit of a surprise under the hood however; take a look inside and you’ll see a 200 cubic inch , producing just 120 horsepower. No need to waste V8 in a vehicle that will barely move under its own power, anyway.Carrying the serial number 5F08T383386, the pony car was built in January of 1965 and features the District Sales Office Code 842011, indicating special order by Ford’s Home Office Reserve for use for the ride.
Only a few things are unoriginal to the vehicle that ride-goers would have sat in; 1966 hubcaps, 1966 AM radio with 8-track player, and bench seat were installed before being sold off of the Ford Resale “B” lot in December of 1965. The current owner bought the vehicle in 1978 and has held on to it until now.was meticulously restored in 2015, retaining most of its original body panels and pieces. The front fenders were replaced with date-coded 1965 NOS units, as was the convertible fabric top.
Mecum estimated the Mustang to reach between $100,000 and $150,000, which is more than double the usual price of a similar vehicle without the World’s Fair provenance.
