1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop

Mustang, Mustang, Mustang! to quote the television advertising in 1965.  All the while urging you to walk on your wild side, and your personality will go from dull to a thriller when you get behind the wheel of a 1965 Ford Mustang!

For consignment, a mostly original car with light-handed tasteful modifications to improve on the original.  A 1965 289ci V8 A-code car with a newer 302ci mill is here for the taking.  Draped in black, and a red pony interior, a well optioned car painstakingly restored and ready to gallop out of our Hallowed Halls and into your personal stable.  We proudly offer you this 1st year pony from Ford.  Get ready to kick up some dust and fall in love with 1965 all over again.

Exterior
A Raven Black respray covers the exterior of this car and has some inclusions and scratches in a few areas but otherwise a very nice respray of the factory color.  The restored metal is very straight with good gaps and added red GT rocker stripes and fender badging.  Thin mustache-like chrome bumpers present well as does the grille surround and floating fog light flanked corralled horse, and spear assembly.   All brightwork is showing well and the freshman year Mustang cove is showing off proudly.  For the back, the iconic dual trios of outward V shaped tail lights with nice bezels between each V, a centrally located large badged gas cap and dual trumpet style exhaust tips in chrome.  Highly polished 15" Boyd's saw blade style wheels on all 4 corners and area wrapped in blackwall radial rubber.  A shout out to the trunk with its super clean plaid mat and full sized spare tire.

Interior
Looking inside we are met with door panels covered in pristine red vinyl tuck and roll with red textured steel door frames, molded in armrests and shiny chrome window cranks and door releases.  Red luxury buckets, (the pony package), are up front and a rear bench are keenly redone with no marks or tears.  A chrome T-handle shifter grows from the carpeted center hump.  A dual eyebrowed dash pad sits atop the red full metal jacket dash which contains the wood applique covered original instrument cluster, various chrome knobs and sliders, AM/FM radio, and black textured glove box door.  A wood rimmed drilled 3 spoke wheel is perched atop the fixed steering column and gives a nice touch to all the red.  A clean red carpet floods the floors and is protected by red horse embroidered mats while a red perforated vinyl headliner hangs above.

Drivetrain
A beautiful blinged out Ford blue 302ci V8 sits comfortably in the black engine bay.  The bling factor comes in the form of chrome valve covers, air cleaner assembly, and shock tower bracing.  A 4-barrel carburetor lurks under the air cleaner and handles the air and fuel mixture perfectly.  Bolted to the rear of the mill is a C4 3-speed automatic and out back is a Ford 8" rear axle with 3.00 gearing.  We note power steering is on and overall the engine bay presents as clean and well sorted.

Undercarriage
All good under here with no rust, all front suspension and steering components appear to be new with independent coil springs and power disc brakes.  Not to be outdone, the rear sports what appear to be new shocks and leaf springs and power drum brakes also.  Headers feed down to the dual exhaust which snakes its way rearward and is toned down by a pair of Flowmaster mufflers.  Bringing up the rear is a new gas tank and the GT style chrome trumpet exhaust tips.

Drive-Ability
The candles lit right up, running on all 8 cylinders, and gave us a real ride.  No bucking bronco here very smooth from the well-done restoration.  All functions were operational at the time of our drive save for the heater blower not blowing and the radio not belting out any tunes.  Oh and did I mention it's fast too!

Keeping its original exterior color and original interior style and color, this consignor did a fab job on the add ons.  Visually it's stunning, and speaking from the seat of my pants, it's powerful!  The Raven Black and the polished Boyd's wheels bring it right down to earth in a heavenly way.  All original cars are cool, but this slightly tweaked in design and performance is definitely the way to go with a 1965 A-code pony.
