Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a beautiful example of
this rust free 1965 Ford Mustang 200 c.i. 6 cyl 4 spd Convertible
built in San Jose, California in its original 'Rangoon Red' (color
code J) factory color paint matched to its original Red vinyl
interior (trim code 25) and matched to a rare 4 speed manual
transmission!The car was originally purchased in 1965 and the car
is something of an oddity having been built at the San Jose plant
in early 1965 but with 64 1/2 window cranks and door handles. It
boasts it's original 'Rangoon Red' color paint with a 'Red Standard
Vinyl' standard interior and was built with the rarer 4 speed
manual transmission and conventional 3.20:1 axle and this is a car
that has reportedly spent its whole life garaged in southern
California and is a true time capsule with reportedly an original
only some 17K + miles as of 2013 according to the CA title!Ford's
biggest success of the 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!This car must be driven to be fully
appreciated - the original engine is extremely strong and
responsive and the 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly
through the gears and the engine temperature always remains cool.
This is one superb example of this very collectible and desirable
early production example of the legendary Ford Mustang in turn-key
ready daily appreciating, daily driving and daily head-turning
condition!
