INTRODUCTION: What a beautiful example of one of America's favorite cars! This really is one of the prettiest '65 Mustangs I've seen. The list of features is really impressive too: GT, a/c, pony interior and much more.

EXTERIOR: What a beauty! The Silver Blue Poly paint with white accents is a fantastic combination. It has been applied with great attention to detail then polished to a slick and shiny finish. All the panels have been wonderfully aligned with nice, tight, consistent gaps. The doors close easily with minimal effort. Looking down the side of the beautifully straight body is satisfying with all its sharp lines and smooth contours. The front grill is in fantastic condition and I'm a big fan of the optional fog lamps. The tail lights and chrome bezels have also been replaced. The bumpers were re-chromed and the remaining bright work all has a glorious shine. The "289" and "GT" emblems let them know this pony was born to run. It has dual side view mirrors. All the glass, rubber seals, and fuzzy strips were replaced. The white vinyl convertible top was also replaced and it has a matching boot. The ensemble is rolling on a gorgeous set of 14 inch chrome GT rims wrapped in radial white wall tires.

INTERIOR: I'm absolutely in love with this deluxe two-tone pony interior. The seats have been reupholstered and re-cushioned. Everything fits nice and tight and they are very comfortable as well. It is equipped with front seatbelts. The deluxe molded door panels have also been replaced and the driver side has a toggle for the remote side view mirror. The dash pad was replaced and the lower portion of the dash repainted. The gauges, gauge bezel, glove box door, glove box liner, knobs and levers have all been restored, easily displaying the quality of work that went into refurbishing this car. The air conditioning unit is neatly mounted under the dash. The emergency brake handle assembly was even replaced. A Bluetooth stereo fits in the factory holes and also has a hands-free calling microphone. It is outfitted with a tilt column and beautiful real wood Shelby style steering wheel. The automatic shifter is in great shape plus the carpeting and sun visors have been replaced. Embroidered pony floor mats nicely finish off this interior.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This car was born with the "A" code performance 289 cubic inch V8 which has been rebuilt and nicely outfitted with air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. It is topped off with a Holley 4 barrel carburetor and Edelbrock performer intake manifold. Ribbed aluminum Cobra valve covers, chrome air cleaner and chrome shock tower braces dress up the bay nicely. It's equipped with an upgraded aluminum radiator and optima red top gel battery. The horns and squirters are hooked up. All the belts and hoses have been replaced. The underside of the trunk lid is painted body color, plus the fender wells and firewall are neatly painted black.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and inside the jamb are painted just like the exterior. The weather stripping was replaced. Inside is a full size spare tire with a vinyl cover and a matching vinyl trunk mat. Under the mat is all solid rust-free steel painted body color. A car cover is also included.

UNDERSIDE: It looks like a rotisserie restoration. The front end steering and suspension has been completely rebuilt. It has upgraded strut rods, swaybar and Borgeson power steering. The rear suspension has new springs, bushings and gas shocks. New fuel system including the tank, sending unit and lines. Dual exhaust with a crossover pipe, polished stainless mufflers and the GT tips going out through the valance. Upgraded Wilwood brake system with disc at all four wheels and new e-brake assembly. Looking up at the motor it looks brand new, so does the C4 automatic transmission. A rebuilt driveshaft goes back to the rear end, it's been apart and serviced. The floors are all metal painted in the red oxide primer. It is detailed under this car!

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: So now you see this isn't just another Mustang! The colors are absolutely striking and all the features make it very desirable. Someone is really going to enjoy this piece of Americana!
