For Sale: 1965 Ford Mustang in Palos Verdes estates, California

This 1964.5 Ford Mustang Hipo came from the factory with a "powered by K-code" 289 High Performance V8 mated to a five-speed TKO manual transmission. This engine is the same engine stuffed into the GT350, but with 30 less HP due to the GT350's slightly larger carburetor.  This 289 4V - 271 HP is 1 of 94 Coupe "Hipo's" built in 1964.5' year.  Finished in Rangoon Red over a matching vinyl interior, this pony car is now offered by the seller with a clear title.  This car was fully restored to all original period correct looks. High compression @ 11:1, solid lifters, Sanderson ceramic coated headers, 5 speed manual transmission, brand new "Rally Pac" tach & clock installed...  This car is nothing short of flawless.!!
