Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1965 Ford Mustang
Convertible for purchase. The Ford Mustang 1st generation does not
get the credit it deserves. Upon introduction it was so wildly
popular that it created not only copy cats, but a whole new class
of automobile. The pony car was born and Detroit muscle had a new
platform to tear down the street in. It was new, it was innovative,
it was sporty and it was smaller than what the American public was
used to seeing. It was an instant sensation and its popularity
still reigns, and its timeless design is still incorporated in
today's Mustang.
The 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible offered here is a neat example of
the first generation coupe. It is powered by its proven 289 small
block V8 engine along with a 4 speed manual transmission that it is
strong in every gear and offers very smooth shifting. This Pony
received a full restoration in early 2014 by Wilkey & Kring
Motorsports located in Athens, TN. According to the owner, less
than 2000 miles have been driven since the full restoration, the
289 engine was rebuilt, the carburetor was replaced and upgraded to
a 4-barrel Holley carb, ignition fully upgraded to a solid state
electronic ignition system, the 4 speed manual transmission was
rebuilt, a new clutch, a new pressure plate, the rear end was
rebuilt (2.80:1), the body was repainted to the very sharp "Poppy
Red" which is done very well and looks excellent, a full power
convertible top that is in line new condition, a new dual exhaust
system, the floor pans and torque boxes are solid, and much more.
All features of the car work nicely and the fit and finish is very
clean and pure. A very well done exterior/interior restoration and
also mechanically, this 1965 Mustang is a proven driver, and is
turnkey and ready for immediate use.
The Ford Mustang remains an American icon and is hands down, one of
the most recognizable cars ever produced. These cars have a loyal
following that continues to grow and for this reason are globally
sought after. A classic first gen mustang in great condition such
as the car offered here remains on the bucket list of many.
