Vehicle Description
Bling delete '65 'Stang for sale. When Ford designed the original
Mustang, they created a compact, sporty American car that was fun
to drive. It literally started the Pony car movement. This
particular car takes a super clean, stripped down approach to the
presentation, and it looks great!
Fastback styling wasn't that common at the time the Mustang was
introduced, but the style has proven popular through time, and
looks better today than ever. This particular one takes a
minimalist approach to the look by removing most of the chrome,
brightwork, and badging. There are only two emblems on the car and
they were carefully chosen. First, you gotta have the running
Mustang leading the way on the grill, so it's there in all its
glory. Then the gas cap sits nicely in the middle of a blacked out
rear panel with no chrome around the taillights, and has only a
small Pony in the center of it. Sweet! Then, they sprayed the whole
car a bright white that really looks sharp. That includes the
bumpers which they treated and painted white too. It almost looks
like a 1965 prototype version of the new Mustangs with their body
color bumpers. A black GT stripe graces the rocker panel, and Torq
Thrust wheels give the car a ready for action look.
Open the door and you will find a black interior, but they left the
chrome alone here. And it looks good that way. A chrome strip on
the door panel compliments the polished door handle and window
crank. The front buckets have a big, bold, piece of chrome which is
actually structural. I mean, why hide it when it can look that
good? The hatchbacks have a nice feature in the fold down rear
seat, so you can treat this car like it's a 2-seat sports car if
you wish. Set yourself down in the driver's seat and grab a hold of
the Pilot 4 spoke steering wheel, then reach for the Hurst T-handle
shifter which falls right to hand. That deep cowl dashboard has the
speedo and engine gauges easily visible in front of the driver, and
a glove box off to the right. The radio is in the center backed up
by big Kenwood speakers in the kick panels.
The engine and drivetrain on this car reinforce the stripped down,
ready for action look of the body. Pop the hood and you will find a
289-cubic inch motor with a chrome air topper and "Powered by Ford"
valve covers. It is equipped with MSD ignition, long tube headers,
and Flowmaster mufflers. It sounds healthy because it is healthy. A
4-speed manual trans is always fun to stir around and is perfect
for sporting around twisty backroads or launching off the line at
the strip. Sports cars demand a capable suspension, and you will
find that here too. A Monte Carlo bar helps reinforce the shock
towers against the forces generated during spirited driving, and
there is a healthy sway bar to help keep the car cornering flat
while doing it. Heavy duty shocks handle the bumps and dips, and
front disc brakes provide the whoa power to haul this pony down
from speed. The rubber meets the road through 215/60R15 tires all
around mounted on those sweet Torq Thrust wheels.
Stripped down, powered up, and fun to drive. Come on down, check it
out, then take it home and start having fun with it.
