Ford Mustang 289 CID V8 1965
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a car everyone can appreciate: a 1965 Ford Mustang. Right up there with baseball, apple pie, and old glory, it doesn't get much more American than a Ford Mustang. Released in 1964, the first generation had a little bit for everyone. A massive options list allowed each buyer to spec out their pony however they wanted. Multiple engines, transmissions, power options, colors, and even body style were available. Within the same model, a Mustang could range from a basic coupe with a 6 cylinder and a 3 speed manual, to a fire breathing K-Code fastback with a V8 and a 4 speed on the floor. This particular example is nicely set up with a 289 V8 under the hood and an automatic transmission. The exterior is finished in a snappy coat of bright orange and it rides on some 5 spoke alloy wheels with healthy tires. Inside you'll find black vinyl upholstery, bucket seats, and a floor mounted shifter. These little coupes are great cars to drive. They aren't too big or too small, and with an automatic transmission, you don't have to be a racecar driver to take this one out for a spin. Whether you're looking for your first classic car, or you're adding to a collection, this Mustang would fit the bill. You can see this 1965 Ford Mustang in greater detail in our St. Louis showroom or at http://www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact 618-271-3000 or STL@gatewayclassiccars.com with inquiries.

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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
