Jose, California assembly plant on October 7, 1964, about six weeks
after the new fastback body style was introduced. The car was
delivered to the Denver, Colorado region and its original owner
bought it in Westminster, Colorado. The second owner bought in 1982
bought it from Phil Long Ford in Colorado Springs, Colorado and
later treated it to a bare metal repaint and general restoration.
Dressed in Tropical Turquoise (code 0), only 1.6% of the total 1965
Mustang production came finished�in Tropical Turquoise! The car's
paint and trim are in very good overall condition, with just some
minor blemishes visible upon close inspection. The car's windows
are clear and intact and its lights are intact and haze-free. This
pony's bodywork is straight and solid, include those distinctive
air extraction vents behind the side windows. The engine bay is
very tidy and the battery looks good. The car's shiny bumpers fit
tightly to the body and the interior cargo area looks great. This
pony rolls on P185/80R13 whitewall tires topped by factory wheel
covers. The tires and wheel covers are in satisfactory condition.
Early features true to this 1965 Ford Mustang include vinyl along
inside rocker panels, squared off �64 sill plates, early door and
window handles, carriage bolt bracket for spare tire hold down,
threaded base wiper arm posts and three-wire heater motor. Under
the hood is a 200 CID straight six-cylinder Thriftpower motor,
which was Ford's new base powerplant for 1965. Backing the engine
is a Dagenham four-speed manual transmission (code 5) and a 3.20
differential (code 3). According to the previous owner, the
restoration included rebuilding the engine and carburetor. Updated
items include a new radiator, interior upholstery, instrument
panel, inner door panels, handles and headliner. There's also a new
exhaust system. The air-conditioning compressor was upgraded and
converted to R-134 Freon. Inside, the car's white front buckets and
rear demi-buckets are in overall great shape with their newer
upholstery. The contrasting black carpet is in great condition, as
is the white headliner. The original three-spoke steering wheel is
present and looks great. Straddling the steering column are the
factory Rally-Pac gauges, a tachometer and a clock. The padded
metal instrument panel with its woodgrain appliqu�s is in fine
shape, while the inner door panels look good as well. The shifter
is in good order and a factory AM radio completes the interior. The
standard interior features of the 1965 Mustang included adjustable
driver and passenger bucket seats, an AM radio and a floor-mounted
shifter in a variety of color options. Ford added additional
interior options during the 1965 model year. Ford later offered an
under-dash air-conditioning unit and discontinued the vinyl with
cloth insert seat option, offered only in early 1965 models. One
option designed strictly for fun was the�Rally-Pac. Introduced in
1963 after Ford's success at that year's�Monte Carlo Rally�and
available on other Ford and Mercury compacts and intermediates, the
Rally-Pac was a combination clock and tachometer mounted to the
steering column. Direct competition to this Ford in 1965 was
limited to the Plymouth Barracuda, which launched two weeks before
the Mustang. The rest of the Ponycar class, the Chevrolet Camaro,
Dodge Dart, Mercury Cougar and Pontiac Firebird all followed within
three years. Documentation include original owner's manual. Mustang
