Scarlett is a beautiful 1965 Mustang. She has some natural wear and tear from her age, but she runs great and is locked in a time capsule. The previous owners drove her occasionally and left her in their garage throughout her history. She spent most of her life in California before moving to NY later in her life. The VIN indicates that the vehicle is a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible "A-Code" that was produced early in the cycle in the Dearborn, Michigan assembly plant with a 289 CID V-8 engine, 4 speed manual transmission, and 4 barrel carburetor.
This car does not have the signs of being "tinkered with" over the years. She has been appreciated for her original beauty and original paint. She is ready to drive daily or just on the weekends. I live a mile from work, so I have driven her regularly to work.
She has one rip in the rear window of the convertible top and one rip on the driver's seat. Pictures will show other natural wear and tear from a car that is 60 years old. This is not a show car and this is not a project car. Floor panels were repaired in 2022 to pass NY inspection.
I know the collector value of the car and will be patient until I receive that value from her future owner who appreciates her and will strive to steward her for decades to come. The car has a $25,000.00 appraisal value from 2022. I have put almost $5,000.00 into the car. I also have several extra parts in her trunk, a car cover, and all of the diagrams and booklets to restore her or work on her as needed.
Equipment: All standard 1965 Ford Mustang equipment plus (but not limited to) 289 CID V-8 engine 4-speed manual transmission, bucket seats, console, full wheels covers, wood rim steering wheel, tachometer, clock, AM radio.
Provenance: Title with no recorded liens. The VIN indicates that the vehicle is a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible that was produced in the Dearborn, Michigan assembly plant with a 289 CID V-8 engine.
Comments: First Generation Mustangs (1964 ½ - 1968) have been collectible for decades. Demand exceeds supply, which has had the effect of putting an upward pressure on values on an annual basis. For the purpose of this the inquiry, assumption is made that the vehicle is predominantly configured as it was when it left the assembly plant.
