This 1965 Ford Mustang coupe has been refinished in red over black vinyl and is powered by a 200ci inline-six mated to a three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a dual-outlet header, Smithy mufflers, spinner hubcaps, whitewall tires, and an AM radio. The car is said to have resided in Oregon for several years prior to the seller’s recent acquisition. Subsequent service reportedly involved an oil change and replacement of the clutch, brake master and wheel cylinders, front brakes lines, and the right rear axle bearing.
The car was refinished in its current shade of red under previous ownership and features chrome bumpers with guards, fender badges, rocker trim, and quarter-panel ornaments. The seller notes evidence of prior rust repairs to the lower left quarter panel and a section of the floorboards on both sides.
Painted 14″ steel wheels wear Mustang-branded spinner hubcaps and 185/75 Hankook Optimo H724 thin-whitewall tires showing 2016 date codes. The brake master and wheel cylinders are reported to have been replaced in preparation for the sale, along with fitment of new front brake hoses.
The interior was reupholstered in black vinyl under previous ownership and features a matching black dash pad and carpeting. The dashboard houses a push-button AM radio and ventilation controls.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket wrap and frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer flanked by fuel-level and water-temperature gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 23k miles.
The 200ci inline-six came equipped with a single-barrel Autolite carburetor and was rated at 120 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque when new. Exhaust gases exit by way of a Scott Drake-style dual-outlet header flowing into dual pipes equipped with Smithy mufflers. An oil service is said to have been performed by the seller.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a floor-shifted three-speed manual transmission and an open rear end with a 3.20:1 gear ratio. Service leading up to the sale reportedly included replacing the clutch, the clutch pressure plate, and the right rear axle bearing, along with changing the gearbox and differential oils.
Manufacturer’s literature including an owner’s manual and a sales brochure are included in the sale, along with service, parts, and repair publications and a data manual.
