Vehicle Description
This sharp looking '65 Mustang Convertible is just waiting for
summer. And for you. Beautiful blue paint, with a white roof is a
perfect combination and is complimented by an upgraded engine and
stereo for your driving pleasure.
A first year Mustang convertible is considered a desirable classic
in anyone's book. This one has had a nice repaint in a medium Blue
that really looks great with the white roof and a white GT accent
stipe along the lower body line. The front of the car is kept
simple with only the chrome bumper presenting a clean line just
below the black grill which is adorned only with a badge of a
running Pony on red white and blue stripes. The hood has been
upgraded with a functional hood scoop to feed fresh air to the
motor, and the front fenders have tasteful badges that let you know
the engine has been upgraded a bit. Following the body line down
the sides of the car leads your eyes to the Shelby style scoops in
the rear fenders. That theme carries through to the back of the car
with a Cobra gas cap between the classic Mustang tail lights, and
the car sits on great looking Magnum 500 wheels.
A blue and white interior is the perfect complement to the blue
paint on this car. The seats, both front and rear, have pleated
white inserts surrounded by blue in the bottoms and backs. The door
panels are all white, pleated to match, and look really sharp with
the splashes of chrome from the door handles and window cranks.
There was a convenient center console added with cup holders that
is accessible to both front and rear seat passengers. Take control
of this car with the three spoke wooden steering wheel with a
Mustang horn button in the center, and drop it into gear with the
T-handle floor shifter. The hooded dash pad helps keep the sun off
the gauges when the roof is down, and a modern stereo/CD player
that is iPod compatible was installed for your listening pleasure.
Settle in, get comfortable, hit the button to drop the power
operated roof, and head out for the open road.
Out on that road, the functional hood scoop feeds air to an
upgraded 302 motor that looks right at home in the engine bay. The
presentation is so neat and clean, that it looks like it could have
come from the factory that way. A chrome air cleaner housing and
chrome valve covers are a nice touch and are both embossed with the
Ford Racing logo. A true dual exhaust system has two pipes that
lead all the way to the twin tailpipes at the back of the car.
Power steering, along with coil springs and control arms up front,
leaf springs with a solid axle out back, and drums all around work
together nicely with the power from that 302 and a 3-speed
automatic transmission make this car a pleasure to drive. The
rubber meets the road through 195/70R14 tires mounted on those
great looking Magnum 500 wheels all around.
Pick a sunny day, bring your wool hat, drop the top and take a
ride. Then take it home and park it in your garage.
