Vehicle Description
The first-year fastback pony car is one the rarest and most
desirable versions out there, and this 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 is a
factory A-code car coming off of long-term ownership. So you'll
love everything from the shining paint to the vintage details that
make this such a standout icon.
The trim tag tells us this was born a code-M Wimbledon White coupe.
The paint was refreshed later in life, and it was a solid
investment. That means added luster from a modern clearcoat and the
smooth look of a professional hand applying it. In fact, this is a
well-presented detailed package. The doors line up nicely, the
weather-stripping is pliable, the glass is clean/clear, and the
bumpers and all other brightwork shine beautifully. It shows the
kind of carefully kept attitude you expect on a car that has had
the same owner for over 35 years. We wouldn't suggest it needs
anything because it's pretty darn good looking right now... But
there are plenty of us who also look at this and realize it's only
a vinyl stripe package away from being a cool GT350 tribute. And
the blue will even go with the inserts in the Western-style turbine
wheels.
The other thing the hint of blue goes with is the factory-correct
blue interior. The carpeting, upholstery, dash pad, and other
fundamentals all show good quality from the right investment and
care. You even have cool details, including the classic floor mats
with pony emblem and working courtesy lights on the pillars that
give this the cool fastback style. And yes, the rear seat still
folds flat. While you'll love the classic style, this one is also
meant to be a good cruiser for today. For example, the factory
center console now also has a removable one on top of it that has
an armrest and cup holders. And the radio is a Kenwood AM/FM
digital tuner w/cassette for better driving music. Plus, we love
the SW gauges under the dash just as much for their added info as
their period-correct style.
The A-code cars added more power to Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8, and
this one takes that spirit up a notch. It's a clean-looking motor
with the classic golden valve covers and matching big air grabber.
But beneath the stock style is a motor that was rebuilt later in
life (around 2000) and now inhales deeper with an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor. It has a solid feeling out on the road that
tells you this one loves to go for a drive. And there's even power
steering and a three-speed automatic transmission for cruising
ease.
There has been the right care and investments over the decades that
have gone into this first-year fastback. It makes for a standout
classic that's ready to hit the road right now. Call today!!!
