sixties and the originator of the 'Pony car' concept was
essentially a sporty compact car but with a now legendary long hood
and short deck proportions, built on Falcon and Fairlane chassis
and drive-train components, the Ford Mustang was introduced in
April 1964 as '65 models and within a year became the fastest
selling car of all time; with these early production cars now
carrying special favor! The upgraded V8 from the Falcon six
cylinder engine was the 260 c.i. V8 produced on the same assembly
line with other 1964 Fords, the early models were titled as 1965
models although they were actually from the 1964 production era.
After September 1964 the 260 V8 was dropped in favor of the larger
289 V8!The car is very striking with a two stage repaint in its
original 'Wimbledon White' factory color and with the original 'Red
Vinyl with Red Trim' standard interior also having been restored!
This is is one very fine example of this very collectible and
desirable early production example of the legendary 1965 Ford
Mustang 2+2 V8 Fastback with an upgraded 5 speed Tremec manual
transmission in turn-key ready daily appreciating, daily driving
and daily head-turning condition!
