For Sale: 1965 Ford Mustang in Lithia Springs, Georgia

A red 1965 Ford Mustang is always a nice treat because these first-year cars established the icon. And not only is this a V8-powered coupe, but it also has nice detail upgrades to make this well-priced legend even more distinctive.

Red always attracts an audience. It helps give the coupe a bold presence, and you'll love how there's a deep luster that makes it stylish from the moment you leave our showroom. The appeal of this one is also seen in the brightwork that has the kind of shine to showcase the wraparound chrome bumpers and iconic trim. Overall, this one looks quite handsome where you can tell there were investments in this one later in life to have it looking good, and it has been treated with responsible care since then. And there's an extra hint of sporty flair with the styled steel wheels, deleted front bumper guards, and distinct square dual exhaust tips in the rear.

The tan interior is a great color combo against the red exterior. It gives this coupe a more sophisticated style, which fits this car's personality nicely. After all, this has the desirable premium "pony" package on the seatbacks. The whole package looks good, and you can also tell it's made to be the kind of car that you can take on a Sunday drive or an ice cream run. That's why you also have cruiser-ready upgrades like a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner w/cassette, and the classic style air conditioning unit (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) And you even have some cool/subtle driver upgrades like the wood-rimmed steering wheel and a GT-style round gauge package.

The engine bay follows the same theme as the rest of the car: it's clean, correct, and upgraded in the right places. This is Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8. It's the right motor for a C-code car like this, but now it inhales deeper with a classic-style Holley four-barrel carburetor. Sure, you could add many more easy power upgrades, but what you get from day one is a solid-running torque-filled powerhouse that's ideal for a cruiser. And while this Mustang likes you to feel the road, it also has nice driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission and grip of BF Goodrich T/A tires.

This is one of the best icons you can own when you're looking to enjoy a Saturday night drive and grab plenty of attention doing it. Call today!!!
