Vehicle Description
This is the clean pony car with an extra story to tell. People love
to see and talk about the 1965 Ford T5 - a genuine Mustang that
never carried the Mustang name at all. So to have a rare curiosity
in desirable GT form and been invested in nicely creates one of the
most irresistible classic packages around.
This is one of the Mustangs that was originally exported to
Germany, but a copyright issue meant that it could not carry the
"Mustang" name. That created an interesting subcategory of this
classic called "T5". There's an online T5 directory that will tell
you the whole story, and it's also where you can see this car
listed. It's one of only about a hundred cars currently known from
1965. So that's what makes this car interesting... what makes it
beautiful is the presentation. There has been a solid investment in
respraying this coupe in its legendary Wimbledon White. The modern
clearcoat finish not only highlights the crisp sheetmetal, but the
extra shine goes nicely with all that brightwork. And of course,
you've noticed the appeal of the full GT package. Fog lights in the
grille, correct badging, styled steel wheels, and the trumpeted
exhaust mounted through the rear valance are quite sporty. Plus,
the red triple rocker stripe not only looks great against the
white, but it's also a preview of the interior.
The condition of the red interior is a clear sign of a good
restoration and care. The seats, dash, steering wheel, door panels,
headliner, and all other main red components have the feeling of a
more recent investment. And lovers of details will enjoy pointing
out little things unique to the T5's history - like how the Mustang
name doesn't appear on the horn cap. This has all the right
packaging for a GT car, including the full round gauge package set
in the premium wood-like panel. In fact, this one really feels
authentic everywhere - from the proper trunk mat to the AM radio
that's still on display.
This is a true A-code car, and so it's nice to see a performance
package under the hood. Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8 has upgrades like
an Holley four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. The engine
bay has been given the same care as the rest of the car, and so it
fires up nicely and makes a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust.
You get true control over this V8 power thanks to the three-speed
maul transmission and Hurst shifter. And this GT even has the
proper front disc brakes for ideal control. So you're looking at a
very cool collectable that was also meant for driving.
This is a pony car that sticks out in the already desirable Mustang
herd. So when something this distinguished is also so affordable,
you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!
