One of the most popular "pony cars" ever created has to be the Ford
Mustang. These cars have remained a staple in the car community
since new so it should be no surprise after being introduced in
1964 they have remained in production. In fact they are Ford's
longest running car nameplate that has never been discontinued.
Ford had a hit on their hands and while original projections were
estimated at 100,000 units the 1965 Mustang went on to be the most
successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. The were so
successful that it completely changed the industry as every other
manufacturer now needed a muscle car to go to market with. This '65
is a nice example that was built to be driven and enjoyed. It is
owned by a professional mechanic so you know it was built right and
never misses a needed tune up or maintenance. The body is solid and
rust free. It has been repainted in a bright Red in the past and
the paint isn't perfect with the clear coming up on some surfaces.
The chrome and stainless is all good and has a nice shine. Up front
it has the Mustang in a corral grill that is cleanly mounted in
place. All of the lights work throughout with no issues. It rides
on its original wheels with Mustang hubcaps and Hankook thin white
wall tires.
The car is an original 200ci 6 cylinder car and the motor runs
great. The odometer reads 64,714 and the engine was totally rebuilt
15,000 miles ago. It features a Red valve cover and is topped off
with a single snorkel Red air cleaner. It is very smooth and purrs
like a sewing machine. An aftermarket radiator has been added and
the car runs cool. Paired up with the motor is the green dot C4
automatic that shifts smoothly with no issues. An Old Air AC system
has been added which is a modern system and blows cold.
The interior of the car was entirely redone and changed to the
deluxe Pony interior. The Black upholstery looks great as does the
door panels, headliner and other interior panels. Between the seats
a HumpHugger aftermarket console has been added to provide more
storage and cupholders. The dash pad is in good condition and the
dash is all very stock except for the later model Mustang
AM/FM/Cassette player. Under the center of the dash you will find
the adjustable AC vents. On the floor is mounted the T handle push
button shifter. The trunk has the stock style mat, the spare with
cover, and the Mustang bag to house the original jack.
This is a nice solid classic that you can hop in, turn the key, and
drive anywhere.
