Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
The 1965 Ford Mustang marked the first full production year of Ford’s revolutionary pony car. Introduced in April 1964, the Mustang created an entirely new market segment — affordable, sporty cars with long hoods and short decks.
Built on the compact Falcon platform, the Mustang featured a wide range of options, including hardtop coupe, fastback, and convertible models, as well as engines ranging from inline-sixes to V8s.
This ’65 Hardtop Coupe was built at Ford's Metuchen, New Jersey, assembly plant, where it was painted Wimbledon White and initially fitted with a 200ci inline-six. It has since been modified with a carbureted 289ci V8, which delivers power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The car has been fitted with a Flaming River rack-and-pinion steering setup as well as an aluminum radiator, an aftermarket carburetor and intake manifold, FlowMaster exhaust components, and power-assisted brakes.
Additional features include blue Le Mans stripes and matching rocker panel stripes, chrome 15” American Racing wheels, Dakota digital instrumentation, and a Bluetooth head unit.
