Vehicle Description
STK 2417 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback
The Ford Motor Company changed the automotive landscape at the New
York World's Fair in 1964. Arguably, no car in history affected the
way Americans perceive automobiles like the Mustang did. Fifty
years later, Ford is still making Mustangs, still in the image of
their original concept. Ford introduced the Mustang 2+2 fastback
for the '65 model year. It was an instant success that became the
basis for Carroll Shelby's GT350. This 1965 Mustang 2+2 is a
partially restored example of that popular American icon. The body
was refinished in Ford 'Silver Blue' and the interior has been
reupholstered in blue/white vinyl. Door cards, carpeting, dashboard
and steering wheel are all in good condition. Sounds are produced
by a factory push-button AM radio. Based on the VIN number, this
Mustang left Ford's Dearborn factory with a 200ci six-cylinder
powerplant. It now houses what we are told is a 289ci V8. The small
block Ford utilizes a 2-barrel carb with dual exhaust and an
alternator-based AC electrical system (new for 1965). A Blue Oval
dress-up kit provides a nice look under the hood. Matched with the
3-speed Cruise-o-Matic automatic gearbox and factory differential,
this is a very dependable street set-up. Period correct Mustang
styled-wheels mount new radial tires and brakes are 4-wheel manual
drum. This is a nice Mustang 2+2 driver that will quickly find a
new home. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
