Vehicle Description
1965 Ford Mustang GT Fastback
In its most basic definition, GT stands for Gran Touring or Gran
Turismo. The term Tourismo is derived from Italian roots, meaning
an automobile that is able to travel at a high rate of speed for a
long distance in both comfort and style.
For consignment with a complete interesting history of ownership,
with our last owner putting in all the work to bring the car back
to its original P10 (real GT meaning gran turismo) body buck tag. A
few of the 65 highlights which are seen on this car are disc
brakes, dual exhaust with trumpets, a heavy-duty sway bar, and a
pony interior. Also, obvious but beautiful is the fastback with its
"vented" B pillar.
Exterior
This car has it all with the fastback styling, vented B pillar,
triple rocker striping, hockey stick door and rear quarter cove,
and styled steel wheels on all 4 corners. All this straight steel
is draped in Ivy Green, and it is looking very good. All chrome on
the bumpers is good, as is correct badging and decals. A look from
the rear reveals the iconic triple vertical cluster of taillights,
trumpet exhaust, and a large curved rear greenhouse glass. The
front of the car features the usual galloping pony grille fronting,
but also adds dual fog lights to the grille giving the car a
slightly menacing look.
Interior
Take the original Mustang interior and pump it up with the embossed
pony interior to make it really special. Very clean looking buckets
upfront, and a 2 plus 2 rear bench. A center console races from
front to rear and has great 60's styling. The GT dash with its wood
applique background, center mounted circular speedo, round side
gauges, and a GT 6000 RPM rally pack factory tachometer and clock
flanking and mounted on the column. In the center is the original
radio, and on the passenger's side is a wood applique glovebox.
Black carpet floods the floors and is very clean as well as the
square patterned tight felt headliner. A shout to the original
looking nicely finished correct plaid covered trunk and original
looking spare.
Drivetrain
An original to this car 289ci V8 topped with an Autolite 4-BBL
carburetor and has a 4-speed Toploader attached to the back go of
it. All dressed up in shiny black it has chromed valve covers and
air cleaner holder. Looks very much like new in here.
Undercarriage
All extremely clean and virtually no road dirt, let alone rust
under here! We can see the quick ratio steering, disc brakes
upfront, HD sway bar, and a shiny dual exhaust snaking its way to
the trumpeted rear chromed tips.
Drive-Ability
Like I was a kid all over again as my parents had a 1964-1/2
version, and I used to stand on the hump as we jetted down the
road. Sitting in it brought back memories, and it performed great,
handled the test track swimmingly, and has some sweet acceleration!
It earns its name only its also fast forward...
A true P10 body buck tag GT with all the dealer fixings and
trimmings, and all very nicely done. It is a very original looking
great restoration car with all original fender panels, and the tie
downs from the dealership still on the car.
