1965 Ford Mustang Convertible - Killer example of America's favorite Pony Car with modern updates built for show & go! Original Florida car that had a great southern life until previous owner decided to "make driving fun again"! Powered by a STOUT and completely blueprinted 5.0L 347-V8 stroker motor with an authentic "Jim Inglese" 8-stack Weber carb setup that is dialed-in perfectly. Engine is also nicely equipped with aluminum heads, hydraulic roller cam, an electric fuel pump setup, electronic ignition system and aluminum radiator. Updated power rack & pinion steering and 4-wheel hydro-boost disc brakes make navigating a breeze while the new Tremec 5spd manual transmission and Currie 9" posi-rear with 3.50 gears pleasantly put all 415hp to the pavement. The suspension has also been upgraded with a Hotchkis "pro touring" setup and the overall aggressive stance is complemented by a set of 17" COY's "Eleanor" wheels wrapped in Michelen Pilot Sport radial tires. Exterior is beautifully finished in the factory correct "Twilight Turquoise" with added GT rocker stripe kit. All the chrome and trim is in excellent condition along with a new black Hartz cloth power top. Interior retains alot of iconic retro styling with the factory optioned "luxury" Pony interior in black vinyl throughout. All the gauges have been changed out to a Dakota Digital insert and an updated AM/FM stereo system has been installed for your listening pleasure. Everything on the car works as it should with no disappointments. Underneath the car is extremely solid and free of any rust or rot issues. Car is a real blast to drive and absolutely turns heads everywhere it goes. Very comfortable cruiser on the backroads yet loves to be opened up on the highway. These early droptop Stang's have always been in high demand and this one is no exception. A real piece of American Muscle history that has been only made better for the demands of today's collector car clientele. Here's your chance to get behind the wheel and let the horses run at a fraction of the build cost!
