For Sale: 1965 Ford Mustang in St. Louis, Missouri

Some Mustangs started life as six-cylinder grocery getters and got turned into something cooler along the way.

This bastard was born with a V8-and as far as we can tell, it still has its original engine and transmission.

We don't have documentation that allows us to definitively claim the drivetrain as numbers-matching, but everything we've seen points toward the 289 and Toploader being original to the car. Either way, this isn't some Mustang that needed a drivetrain swap decades later to earn its V8 credibility.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is the real deal where it matters-an A-Code Mustang** that rolled out of Ford's San Jose assembly plant packing a 289 4-barrel V8. Today, it still carries the formula that made these early Mustangs legendary: small-block Ford power, four gears on the floor, classic styling, and absolutely no unnecessary bullshit.

Finished in timeless Wimbledon White over a black interior, this Mustang has that clean, sinister look that never goes out of style. A set of 14-inch Magnum 500-style Mustang wheels gives it the perfect old-school stance without trying to turn it into something it isn't.

BORN AN A-CODE. STILL PACKING A 289.

Under the hood sits a rebuilt 289 V8 topped with a 4-barrel carburetor, staying true to the performance DNA this Mustang was born with.

An aluminum radiator helps keep that small-block cool, while power steering makes cruising this pony a hell of a lot easier.

And yes-it has A/C and heat, because sweating your ass off doesn't make a classic car any cooler.

FOUR SPEEDS. HURST SHIFTER. USE YOUR LEFT FOOT.

Behind the 289 is a rebuilt Ford Toploader 4-speed manual transmission controlled through a Hurst shifter.

Better yet, this Mustang is equipped with the same heavy-duty style clutch used with the high-performance K-Code cars.

Three pedals. Four gears.

Exactly how a V8 Mustang should be driven.

Stopping is handled by manual drum brakes, keeping the driving experience properly old-school. There aren't fifteen computers between you and the car telling you what to do.

You drive it.

CLASSIC MUSTANG WITHOUT THE NONSENSE

Inside, the black cabin keeps things simple and period-correct. You've got the AM radio, A/C and heat, Hurst shifter-and because every proper old-school cruiser needs at least one questionable accessory...

Yep. It's got the fuzzy dice.

Wimbledon White. Black guts. Magnum wheels. A-Code pedigree.

It's clean, simple, and unmistakably Mustang.
