For Sale: 1965 Ford Mustang in Lutz, Florida

This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is a thoughtfully done classic for those who love to drive. It has a cool red and white style, some nice GT upgrades, and the kind of V8 power that was never offered on a first-year pony car like this.


The trim tag tells us this was born a Rangoon Red car, and it was resprayed in later years. So today that means a good gloss that loves to let this sunshine-friendly convertible radiate in the sunlight. The bright chrome bumpers add to this shining attitude, too. It's nothing too fancy to keep you from enjoying the drive, but there's the right look in the fundamentals that make sure you can take this everywhere with pride. The doors shut solid, the glass is clean, and the emblems remain looking bright. Plus, the white convertible top has a snug-fitting look of quality. And it coordinates with little details like the whitewall tires and added white c-channel stripe makes for a subtle two-tone. It makes for a premium-looking pony car, right down to the wire wheel covers. But the GT-style dual exhaust tip mounted through the rear valance also hints at the upgraded sporty style.


With the flip of a switch, the white top smoothly powers down to reveal an even more comprehensive red and white color theme inside. This has desirable factory-style features like the deluxe door panels and premium "pony" package on the seats. There's an intricate look of a well-done classic, right down to details like the red convertible boot and working courtesy lights. It was built to be a comfortable cruiser, and so you've got an upgraded AM/FM/cassette radio and stereo speakers for modern music. Bucket seats, a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, and the GT-style sporty round gauges are all part of a great classic Mustang driving experience.


The motor has an unmistakable look of a solid investment. This is a first-year Mustang, and they would have to wait a little longer to get a 302 cubic-inch V8. This not only has the extra displacement, but it's a fully upgraded setup with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and Hooker headers feeding into the dual exhaust. There are nice supporting components like MSD ignition, polished Ford Racing valve covers, a Monte Carlo bar, and an aluminum radiator. Plus the wires, belts, and hoses look fresh. So it has a solid look and it delivers solid power out on the road. Add in the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and upgraded front discs, and it makes for a confident and easy cruiser.


Complete with the owner's manual, this drop-top has the classic style you love and an even better total driving attitude. So you know you want to cruise this legend. Call today!!!
