Vehicle Description
Winter is the best time to be shopping for a convertible so that
you can score the nicest one around and be ready for springtime
cruising. A sunny winter day with a wool cap and the heat on is
also a special treat. So, don't wait and don't hesitate. Come on
down and check out this beautiful '65 before someone else does.
Black and Red is one of the nicest color combinations possible on a
sporty classic like the Mustang. The black catches and reflects the
light, really highlights the crisp, clean lines of the hood and
fenders, and makes the chrome shine that much brighter too. Mustang
convertibles bring looks of envy when you drive around with the top
down, but also look great with their roof up, especially with a
Black roof on the black paint. The front of the car leads with the
iconic Pony in a black grill surrounded by delicate chrome piping
underlined by a simple bumper. Bold Red rally stripes flow back and
over the hood scoop and the front fenders are graced with 289
badges as well as a galloping Mustang over red, white and blue
stripes. There is polished rocker trim as well as wheel wells
trimmed in chrome and the back of the car is finished out nicely
with those triple taillights wired to flash in sequence underlined
by another simple but sweet looking chrome bumper.
Open the door, or just look inside if the roof is down and you will
find a stunning Red interior that is all fresh and nicely detailed
out. The door panels feature a pleated center section surrounded by
smooth vinyl that are both outlined in chrome piping along with
chrome door handles and window cranks. A wooden steering wheel is
mounted on a deep dish three-spoke hub with a Mustang horn button.
It sits in front of a beautiful dash panel of wood grain with
chrome bezels surrounding the gauges as well as trimming out the
cluster. That look is echoed quite nicely on the passenger side
glovebox too. A Mustang FM/Cassette head unit drives a stock
speaker in the dash as well as Pioneers in the kick panels while
the air conditioning system provides relief on those hot summer
days if you get stuck in traffic. A T-handle shifter rises from the
center console for the automatic trans and the red seats with herds
of galloping Mustangs as well as fresh red carpeting complete the
look.
Pop the hood and you will find a nicely dressed up 302 cubic inch
V8 nestled down in a neat and clean engine bay. A chrome shock
tower brace wraps around ribbed, oval, black and polished air
filter assembly which is complimented by valve covers embossed with
Powered by Ford with the same treatment. That air filter feeds a
Holley 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. New ignition
components include red distributor cap as well as red spark plug
wires run neatly through anodized looms. A newer brake booster and
master cylinder as well as a Ford A/C compressor are joined by
fresh belts and hoses for a well maintained and sorted engine bay.
Power flows back through a 3-speed automatic transmission to the
rear wheels mounted on leaf springs, and Flowmaster mufflers give
the car a nice sound. Power steering and power front disc brakes
provide good handling as well as great stopping performance and the
rubber meets the road through 215/60R15s in the back and 205/60R15s
in the front mounted on those sweet looking Shelby Racing Equipment
wheels.
A beautiful Black and Red '65 Mustang convertible. It doesn't get
any better than this. Come on down and check it out. Then take it
home and get ready for spring.
