He drove a new 64 1/2 Mustang, one of the first off the line, in which we had a lot of good times. His stepfather Bingo had a nearly-new '64 Electra 225 coupe, just like this one, but all one color (beige/tan). It was a truly impressive car at the time, and we weren't allowed within 50 feet of it, probably for good reason. As it happened, my friend Steve had a problem with the Mustang when he was up in the mountains, in Idaho Springs, and had to leave the car at the Ford agency there for repair. I wasn't with him, and don't remember how he got home, but when the agency called a couple of days later and said the Mustang was ready, he called me and asked if I'd go with him to retrieve it. Sure, says me, figuring we'd take my ancient Chevy, but no, he said he'd pick me up. Around the corner he comes, in Bingo's Buick. What a hoot, and a commanding road presence, we felt like a couple of mobsters out on assignment. I'm amazed that we weren't picked up for GTA, a couple of 16-year old punks driving a car like that. The Mustang felt like a bit of disappointment on the way home. Good times.\n\nQuestioner for the seller - if one were to return the car to conventional stock suspension, what scars would be left from the air-ride installation? it's a beautiful car, GLWTA.", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1508555470, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1809439, "authorName": "KindredMoss", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kindredmoss/", "bidAmount": 4300, "content": "$4,300 bid placed by KindredMoss", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1508593621, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1809491, "authorName": "Antichrysler", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/antichrysler/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "My grandpa was a farmer in North Dakota.

Something to do with the low ride of the overall body/frame design (limiting old-school style suspension travel) and if those bias-ply's (Pennsylvania Fat-Cats...) weren't perfectly balanced...and they began to hammer (bounce) after hitting a pot-hole etc...wow...while the weight of the car kept it on the road...the suspension literally hammered itself into the ground. So of course...radials were a god-send etc.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile...now in my upper driveway is what I consider the ultimate deuce-and-a- quarter, a 1964 Electra 225 Custom 6-window 4-dr hardtop.
