My father and I restored a 64.5 Mustang. It was a V8 (think it was a 287 c.i or 289 c.i). Unusual thing about it was the factory bench seats and a factory add-on a/c. It was an automatic with a floor shift.

Yep, the bench seat was an option in those cars. I still see one at a car show now and again, even though the restoration crowd has been sort of shoved aside by the customizer/hot-rodder crowd. I guess that option was intended to make the car more appealing to buyers that saw the Falcon and Comet as "more practical".

Those under-dash A/C units were the only type available in the Mustang through '66. Very capable, too - I had one that would make frost form on the chrome plastic vents.
