Owning a first generation Mustang is more than driving a car, it is
holding a piece of Americana that still turns heads at every
stoplight. This convertible speaks to summertime freedom, open-top
grins, and the satisfying rumble of V8 thunder. If you have been
searching for a solid project that is also ready to cruise, take a
close look at this 1965 Ford Mustang convertible equipped with a
289 V8 and C4 automatic transmission.
Slide inside and you will find a tidy blue vinyl interior that
stays true to the era while offering a few thoughtful updates for
daily enjoyment. The car wears bucket seats and a custom center
console with cupholders and an aftermarket arm rest console. A
T-style shifter sits in the floor and an upgraded Autosound radio
with a Sirius XM antenna and dash dock modernizes the audio without
overwhelming the vintage feel.
Under the hood is a 289 V8 swapped into what was originally a 200
cubic inch six cylinder car, fitted into a clean engine bay with a
nicely painted block and breather. It is paired with a C4 three
speed automatic and sits over a Ford 8 inch rear axle. Wiring has
been refreshed and the suspension shows evidence of attention,
which helps this Mustang run and drive well during drives. Stopping
power comes from front power discs and rear power drums, and the
GT-style dual exhaust exits through the rear valance for an
authentic muscle car tone.
