Vehicle Description
A 1965 Ford Mustang built to be a proper cruiser is always an
attractive idea. So take a look at the upgrades like the
fuel-injected V8, A/C interior, high-discharge headlights, and all
the other pieces that make this a classic for the modern era.
A red first-year Mustang has instant appeal. The long hood, short
deck, and deep C-channel running down the side ushered in a whole
new era of American style that had the rest of Detroit scrambling
to catch up. But this example also has much more appeal than just
history. You see it in the details like the mirror-like chrome
bumpers and the shine of the HID headlights. Plus, an updated set
of wheels gives this pony car a little Bullitt-style attitude.
Inside you can tell they invested in some thoughtful upgrades just
by the appearance of the seats. The exterior red is now joined by a
tasteful black, and the way this is united on the custom black
seats with red piping really gives the whole interior a sense of
harmony. This has all the right classic Mustang elements, like the
bright gear selector, artful three-spoke steering wheel, and beyond
that is the large speedo flanked by round readouts. But there are
also plenty of comfortable upgrades. You get a center console that
has an armrest and cup holders. There's a retro-style AM/FM stereo
that has a digital tuner and aux input for the most modern music
players. Plus, the air conditioning is blowing cold from modern
R134a. And the modern Holley Sniper EFI readout lets you know there
are some nice upgrades under the hood, too.
We always love seeing Ford's famous 289 V8, especially when it has
some extra flair in places like the polished valve covers, air
topper, and compressor. But what's really impressive is the
substance behind the shine. This replaced the classic carb setup
with a performance fuel-injection module that you get to dial in
from the interior readout. And you get to enjoy the performance
soundtrack even more as headers feed a glasspack-style dual
exhaust. You even have the right supporting components like an MSD
distributor and newer hoses. Plus, an aluminum radiator with an
electric fan is there to help keep this V8 running cool even if
you're in traffic with the A/C pumping. Add in a three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and the
modern grip of Yokohama tires, and you start to see how this
Mustang was made for cruising.
This is a nice classic with the right upgrades to be a real driver.
That makes it distinctive, useful, and irresistible. So don't let
it slip away, call today!
