Vehicle Description
1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop
"The Willow Lane Literary group meets every Wednesday. We're very
active in the town's cultural life. So is our librarian, Winifred.
But Winifred hasn't been herself lately. She's changed. Her mind
seems to be a million miles away, (cut to announcer). Willow Lane
hasn't seen Winnie since the '65 Deluxe Mustang, she practically
designed it herself, with embossed vinyl seats, luxury all around,
a new five dial instrument cluster, sport steering wheel, the list
goes on and on. And so does Winnie. Right over to the wild side.
Put a moment of truth in your life, with the Deluxe Mustang '65.
Best year yet to go forward. Mustang!" Script from one of many
television commercials for the 1965 Mustang.
For consignment, a 1965 Ford Mustang hardtop showing 1,396 miles
but the true miles are unknown. Some go fast goodies, interior
updates, and a wild color sets this '65 Mustang, one of more than
half a million produced, apart from all the others. If you're ready
to join Winnie the librarian on the wild side, take a look at this
fantastic ride.
Exterior
The paint is compliments of House of Kolor Kandy Paint and its two
stage Violet Metallic and for all the Mustangs that have graced our
halls, we can't remember one in this shade of purple. Beyond the
color however, it's pure Mustang, iconic and instantly recognizable
with headlights set back behind a grille adorned with the famous
running horse over a straight chrome bumper, marker lights below.
Out back, the three part tail lights that nearly every American can
recognize and a horse emblazoned gas cap dead center on the latch
panel behind a distinctive short decklid. 14-inch American Racing
Outlaw I wheels veer from stock configuration and hold staggered
size tires. All typical emblems are in place and along with the
metalwork and paint, are in great condition with a few touched up
chips as the only exterior imperfections.
Interior
Standard door panels present cleanly with handsome patterns worked
into the black vinyl and essential hardware. The bucket seats have
been reupholstered with soft black cloth which also covers the rear
bench and smooth surfaces prevail over the original vinyl. Up
front, a black rimmed Lecarra steering wheel leads to a gauge
cluster backed with a machine turned faceplate with attractive
white faced gauges that have black needles with red tips. In the
center is a custom autosound stereo with AM/FM radio and 6 CD
changer. Emerging from the transmission hump, a Hurst shifter and
an added console with cupholders and an armrest. Black carpet is
protected by Mustang branded carpeted mats, the headliner wears the
seat material, and the trunk has a Mustang branded rubber insert
and all present cleanly.
Drivetrain
The showy exterior gives way to a showy engine bay with most
components polished to a point on this 289ci V8 with a Crane cam, a
Street Dominator intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 4-barrel
carburetor. A C4 3-speed automatic sends power to the Ford 8" axle
in back housing 2.80 gears while drum brakes are found on all four
corners. Yes, pop the hood because this engine is show worthy!
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath, mostly uniformly black. Minimal surface
rust and a few drops of fluid on the oil pan and the transmission
pan. An area of coated but rust through, and an area on the frame
with some uneven filler are noted as well. The dual exhaust goes
from Doug Thorley headers to FlowMaster mufflers before exiting
behind rear valance. Suspension is the standard coil springs up
front and leaf springs in the back.
Drive-Ability
With performance intake and exhaust, this is a heavy breathing 289
that also sounds great and takes us through the test loop with
plenty of power, surefooted handling, and decent braking which we
note makes the car pull hard to the right. Out in the sun, the
paint glistens with a deep purple shine, presenting a showy pony
that's an absolute eye catcher. And other than the heater blower,
all other functions operate on the car as intended. While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
If you're looking for a classic Mustang but wanted something just a
bit different from the normal, stock look, this unique presentation
might be the one for you! Fantastic paint, a clean engine and
interior, and more curb appeal than your average show car, this '65
Mustang should be a consideration and one to add to your stable.
Happy days in a purple haze are ahead for the new owner of this
classic beauty!
