This 1965 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is the real deal - a TRUE factory GT, not a clone - finished in its original Rangoon Red over White Pony Interior. Benefiting from a full rotisserie restoration completed approximately five years ago, this is a high-quality, well-sorted GT that presents beautifully and drives every bit as good as it looks. With factory A/C, power steering, disc brakes, and an A-code 289 4-barrel under the hood, this GT Convertible checks every box.

Exterior

Finished in its original Rangoon Red (Code J), the paint has excellent shine and depth, consistent with a well-executed, fairly recent restoration. There are a couple of very small chips from normal use, but the body is extremely dry, solid, and straight throughout. Body lines are crisp, and the car appears accident-free. GT-specific items such as the correct rear floor exhaust mount plate are present. Chrome, trim, and lenses show very nicely. The convertible top fits well, and the wheels and tires are in excellent condition, completing the car's classic GT look.

Interior

The interior is finished in its factory-correct White Pony Luxury Interior (Trim F2) and looks fantastic. Seats, carpets, dash, and door panels all present beautifully. The original dash clock works intermittently, while the rest of the gauges are fully functional and the dash condition is excellent. The car has seat belts, and there are no interior smells, reflecting a very clean, well-cared-for cabin. Everything feels tight and fresh, consistent with a high-quality restoration that has only been lightly used.

Underhood & Body

Under the hood sits the desirable A-code 289ci V8 4-barrel, paired with the C4 automatic transmission (Code 6) and a 3.00 rear axle (Code 1). Factory air conditioning equipment is in place and the compressor spins freely; it will need a recharge to become fully functional. Power steering and front disc brakes make this Mustang especially enjoyable to drive. The underbody is truly impressive - exceptionally clean, detailed, and exactly what you expect from a rotisserie restoration that has been driven occasionally but not abused. Floors, rails, torque boxes, and all GT-specific undercarriage components look excellent.

Driving

This Mustang runs and drives extremely well. The A-code 289 delivers crisp power, the C4 automatic shifts smoothly, and the car drives straight with no unwanted noises. Braking performance is excellent thanks to the front disc brakes, and steering is light and predictable with the factory power setup. It's tight, responsive, and just feels "right" - exactly what you hope for in a restored GT Convertible.

Conclusion

This 1965 Mustang GT Convertible is a highly desirable, factory-documented GT with its original colors, A-code powertrain, factory A/C, power steering, disc brakes, and an impressive rotisserie restoration. It's a strong driver with show-quality presence - the kind of car that performs as good as it looks. Very few GT Convertibles check this many boxes.
