Vehicle Description
Introducing a Timeless Classic with this 1965 Ford Mustang
Convertible
Step back in time and experience the iconic styling, powerful V-8
performance, and the sheer joy of top-down motoring with this
stunning 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible. As one of the earliest
examples of the legendary pony car, this Mustang showcases the
features that made it an instant sensation and cemented its place
in automotive history.
Finished in a crisp white exterior, complemented by a vibrant red
interior and a matching red convertible boot cover, this Mustang is
a head-turner from every angle. Under the hood, you'll find the
early production 260 cubic inch small-block V-8, a powerplant that
was only available during the first few months of the 1965 model
year, making this a true "1964�" Mustang.
This convertible is equipped with a host of early production
components, including a generator charging system, low-mounted
horns in the engine compartment, and a "Generator" warning light in
the instrument cluster. These unique features set it apart from
later 1965 models and make it a true treasure for Mustang
enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Mustang's "Made to be made by you" marketing is evident in its
array of desirable options, such as the smooth-shifting automatic
transmission, styled steel wheels wrapped in narrow white sidewall
tires, a floor console, an AM radio for entertainment, and the
eye-catching GT-style dual trumpet exhaust tips.
Attention to detail is evident throughout this convertible,
particularly under the hood, where the engine compartment showcases
the 1965-exclusive black with gold paint, an authentic Autolite
battery, and a period-correct Rotunda oil filter. These elements
combine to create a truly authentic and immersive experience for
the lucky owner.
Assembled at Ford's West Coast facility near San Jose, California,
in early 1964, this Mustang boasts all the classic pony car styling
cues that have made it an enduring icon. From the forward-thrusting
front grille with its chrome running horse emblem and bars to the
faux side scoop sculpturing and the distinctive tri-bar taillights,
every detail is a testament to the Mustang's timeless design.
Inside, the red bucket-seat interior and cockpit-style instrument
panel transport you back to the 1960s, immersing you in the era of
the original pony car. The 1965 Mustang set historical sales
records for an American car, with more than 680,000 units delivered
during its extended 17-month production run, which included the
early "1964�" models like this convertible.
