Vehicle Description
*1965 Ford Mustang*The impact the original Ford Mustang had on
society when it was launched is almostunfathomable in today's
world. First going on sale in April of 1964 as a "1964 �" model
year, the Mustang sold more than 400,000 units in the first year,
and over a million within two years of launching. With its classic
good looks and a wide variety of powertrain options, the Mustang
endures as one of the most sought-after classics of all time and
are a hit everywhere. This 1965 Mustang is a stunning example that
has been lightly modified, but with largely period correct upgrades
that make the car look and drive even better.Sold new in Portland,
OR, as a factory A-Code car, this Mustang was purchased by the
seller from the car's second owner. Between 2018 and 2023, the car
was subject to a comprehensive restoration with a build binder
filled with photos and receipts. Finished in Black Raven, the car
has a particularly muscular look thanks to a 1-inch drop on Shelby
suspension and a set of 15-inch American Racing Torq-Thrust Wheels.
Around the car, the chrome accents on the bumpers, side scoops and
front grille all shine like new, and the BFGoodrich Radial T/A
tires with white lettering give the car a true period look.To
compliment that gorgeous black exterior, the interior is finished
in red, with red vinyl wrapping the seats, and red carpeting
throughout to match. The 3-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal
speedometer, and a duo of Rally-pack gauges on the steering column
includes a tachometer. A Retro Sound head unit is seamlessly
integrated into the dash, and Kenwood speakers throughout the cabin
provide great sound.Sitting under the hood is Ford's legendary 289
cubic inch V8, topped with a 4bbl carburetor. Power is sent via a
4-speed manual gearbox to the 3.25 ratio limited slip rear
differential - all of these factors combine for a Mustang that is
so much fun to drive. The 289 V8 is really the engine that the
Mustang's reputation was built on, although you could order it with
some more fuel efficient options, a revvy 289 V8 and a manual
transmission were what made the car special. This car was also
fitted with a Kelsey Hayes disc brake conversion on the front
wheels which makes it safer and nicer to drive around town.Even
more than 60 years after its debut, the enthusiasm people have for
these first generation Mustangs can't be overstated. This example
is particularly desirable with its beautiful color combination,
powerful 289 ci V8, 4-speed manual and recently completed
restoration being just a few of the vehicle's highlights.*Key
