Ford Mustang 260 V8 1965
General description :
RARE 64 1/2 F-CODE MUSTANG, 260 V8, AUTO, PS, R134 A/C, NICE PAINT & INTERIOR!!
A 1964.5 Ford Mustang for under $24K?! It might seem like there's a big catch to a great price on a true American icon, but the more you read, the more you'll just see it's an amazing deal on a well-presented F-code V8 Mustang.
This is truly a prized possession for a Mustang fan. After all, the getting your hands on the first batch of this legendary car is a special club that gets more limited every year. But more than just history, you want this one for how well it's presented. Rangoon Red is such a great way to represent the first-run of the original pony car. And this one has the added distinction and sophistication of a white vinyl roof. You can tell this coupe has received the right care and investment over the years. That's why the bumpers and taillight bezels keep it shining at their best. And this one has really stayed true to its roots, right down to those great styled steel wheels with the Mustang logo in the middle.
Inside, the black vinyl shows more evidence that this coupe has always been treated with the respect it deserves. This looks great against the deep black in the door panels, carpeting, and headliner. But this isn't a full midnight appearance. Plenty of bright trim and exterior-matching red give this a very nice atmosphere. And while the three-spoke steering wheel and gauge package are pure vintage Mustang, there are some great upgrades that make this the perfect vintage cruiser. After all, we know you'll appreciate the AM/FM/cassette stereo and ice-cold modern R134a air conditioning.
When you open the hood, the bright Edelbrock valve covers and air topper grab your attention, but it's what's beneath them that's really special. This is an F-code Mustang, which means it came from the factory with a 260 cubic-inch V8. Once the 1964.5 production switched over to 1965, this option was gone. So it's a cool piece of history to have this correct displacement still under the hood. The same goes for the generator. After all, it could easily be switched to an alternator, but it has been kept in this one all these years because Mustang people know to look for this special short-run feature. And you know this has been a cherished classic by the proper maintenance in the engine bay and how nicely that V8 fires up. Out on the road, features like the power steering and the three-speed automatic transmission mean you can comfortably drive this benchmark classic to all the shows you want.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at an in-demand piece of automotive history that also happens to be a great all-around driving classic. So at a price like this, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
