Vehicle Description
On March 9th, 1964, Lee Iacocca made himself an eternal place in
American automotive history with the release of a car that would
reshape the design and performance expectations for all automobiles
sold within the North American market within the next forty
years-the Ford Mustang. One of the best investments in a classic
muscle car! Loved and adored the world over, good examples are
becoming hard to find!
Offered here is a splendid 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback finished in
factory, code-correct Rangoon Red over Red Vinyl interior. Powered
by its original C-code 289ci-2bbl V8 engine factory rated at 200
horsepower which is now mated with a Tremec T-5 transmission
offering added performance and better cruising speeds in any
condition! Options and features include factory air conditioning,
power steering, 2.80:1 rear axle ratio, brand new 14" chromed
styled steel wheels wrapped in Bf Goodrich double redline 6.95-14
tires, front fog lamps, fold-down rear seat, rear pillar vent
louvers, Custom AutoSound AM/FM/Auxiliary head unit, carpeted floor
mats, and an aftermarket center console with cup holders and
storage bin.
This Mustang began life in the Louisville, KY production facility
before making its way to Gainesville, FL early in life. It would be
meticulously cared for in the dry south, with several handwritten
service notes and odometer readings inside the original owner's
manual. The exterior has been repainted once before, while the
majority of the interior remains all original and is believed to
have survived without any restoration. Under the hood, the original
engine with all factory components and tags remain present. The
factory C4 3-speed automatic was replaced with a 5-speed Tremec T-5
approximately 7 years supplied through American Powertrain. The
battery was replaced in 2023, along with rebuilding the 2-barrel
carburetor, alternator, and starter in 2024.
Upon arrival to the St. Louis Car Museum, we replaced the sway bar
bushings and end links, installed all new brake wheel cylinders at
all four corners, installed new front & rear brake hoses and bled
the brake system with new fluid, new front wheel seals, installed a
fresh fuel filter, air filter, new engine oil and filter; installed
the new wheel/tires, along with a few ancillary bits as well as new
wiper blades. The air conditioning continues to blow cold, and the
drivability remains excellent! All features, lights, and
instrumentation are in full working order. Please feel free to call
with questions or to schedule your chance to see this special
Mustang Fastback in person!
