Vehicle Description
OPENING: This is a real deal '65 Mustang GT with a 289 "A" Code V8
engine hooked up to a Top Loader 4-speed manual transmission. First
generation Mustangs were available with a variety of engines, each
with its own engine code. Ford marketed the "A" Code Mustangs as a
way for owners to have a sports car with performance that matched
its great looks. Call Jordan (612) 290-9299 with any questions you
may have. See the video https://www.youtube.com/watch.
INTRO/HISTORY: In 1965 the 225 hp "A" Code engine was offered to
replace the 200 hp "D" Code engine from 1964. It was a significant
step up from the base-289. The "A" code engine had a 10:1
Compression rating and was offered with a 4-barrel carburetor, but
was still less expensive than the high performance 289 "K" code.
This beautiful example comes from a top tier collection and has
been very well maintained and cared for. Clean and clear title.

high-quality driver in excellent condition. It's a show stopper,
but doesn't have to be collecting dust sitting hidden away in a
collection and it won't break the bank. Meant to be driven and
enjoyed like back in the day, you'll love shifting hard through the
gears and listening to the growl of that 289 "A"- Code V8 respond.
This is your opportunity to get behind the wheel of the original
Pony Car in a very desirable year at the beginning of the Golden
Era of Muscle.
