Vehicle Description
A red 1965 Ford Mustang coupe is truly iconic. But as you take a
closer look at this one's profile, you start to pick up on details
like the traction bars, meaner stance, and removable roll bar.
Turns out that this obtainable classic also has a fire-breathing V8
and all the right hardware to back it up, too.
A first-year Mustang in a cherry hue is the all-American dream car.
But this one seems to be a little brighter than most. That's thanks
to an investment in the vivid red paint a while ago to give it a
modern clearcoat shine. But it takes more than luster to create the
desire you see here. Bodywork is well done, creases are crisp, and
everything lines up nicely to remind us all why we love this icon.
Plus, the bumpers, badging, and trim have the kind of shine that
can only come from quality pieces. Those Mag wheels with pony
center caps are always a great finishing touch. While every '65
Mustang is a car you want to show off, this one just seems to have
a bit more attitude. This coupe is leaning forward with an
aggressive stance that almost feels like it's leaning in to
whisper, "I'll eat your car for breakfast."
The black vinyl interior continues this aggressive attitude, and
just like the exterior, there have been some nice investments for
show and go. The dark seats, carpeting, headliner, and dash keeps
this coupe feeling fresh inside. But this isn't a full sea of
darkness. There are plenty of bright accents on everything from the
factory three-spoke steering wheel to the door panels that warm the
atmosphere nicely. There are even some nice upgrades for comfort
like a modern cup holder center console and a modern AM/FM stereo
that can support the latest music players. But those aren't really
the features that draw your immediate attention. This interior is
filled with competition-grade components like the Hurst shifter,
Autopower removable, roll bar, fire extinguisher, auxiliary gauge
trio, and the large AutoMeter tach with shift light. All of these
are more great hints at this car's performance... and that's even
before you twist the key and hear it roar.
One look under the hood, and you know there was a ton invested in
this V8. This 289 cubic-inch motor is all about getting down to
business. Even the attention-grabbing shining components add to the
function, like all the extra bracing, Ford Racing valve covers, and
aluminum radiator. This is a well-built V8 with Edelbrock heads,
Edelbrock Performer 289 intake, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
MSD ignition, and long tube stainless headers. That last feature
not only adds power, but also it contributes to the roar of the
FlowMaster dual exhaust. Best of all, you have full control over
this monster motor's full powerband and its thunderous soundtrack
thanks to the toploader four-speed manual transmission. This feeds
a stout Ford 9-inch rear end that's geared for good all-around
performance. And speaking of this coupe's versatility, the
suspension has been upgraded, too. The rear is supported by thick
traction bars. Up front is a thick sway bar, newer urethane
bushings, and a Wilwood disc brake upgrade.
Serious performance machines like this usually cost a ton more. So
when you can get great value wrapped around an iconic classic body,
you know a deal like this will be going fast. Don't miss out, call
