With a V8 power, upgraded five-speed, A/C interior, icy blue paint, and an overall fantastic restoration, it's time to get your hands on your dream turn-key 1965 Ford Mustang.
There are plenty of nice red Mustangs out there, so we tend to take notice when someone takes the time to invest in a respray of original shade of Y-code Silver Blue metallic. No matter if you are across the show field or one-inch away, the investment in this color is instantly apparent. There's a deep luster and the kind of hard shine that makes it look like this coupe has a top coat made of glass. To pull off this presentation, you also need super straight body panels. The total effect gives the first-year Mustang's crisp lines a more sophisticated appearance. That's backed up by the full trim package, including new bumpers to keep everything shining at its best. Even the bright 16-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels give this one the kind of distinction you're looking for when you want to stand out from the crowd.
Inside, this one has some great distinctive touches. It starts with the factory-correct Blue Crinkle Vinyl seats. They coordinate nicely with the two-tone side panels, carpeting, dash, and upgraded steering wheel to give this the overall appeal of a deep blue ocean – both inside and out! The cold-blowing air conditioning with modern R134a means this coupe can make everyone comfortable. But once you spot the upgraded tach and extra gear on the stick shift, you instantly know the driver is king.
When you lift the hood, you'll start to notice many quality investments. The 289 cubic-inch V8 has plenty of upgraded flair, and it's presented nicely thinks to the satin black engine bay and overall tidy setup. Topped with a Demon four-barrel carburetor, the V8 makes all the right power. Plus, there's a terrific tone from the GT-style trumpeted dual exhaust. But don't just look at the tips, follow the full path of the pipes in the undercarriage photos. There you'll see how clean everything is, which is a reminder of the level of quality in the restoration. But while it looks terrific, you're also going to want to drive this Mustang. That's because it comes with front disc brakes, wide BF Goodrich tires, and a sense of the road you can easily feel through the upgraded five-speed manual transmission.
This is the iconic pony car that was built to show off and enjoy the road. That makes it a total package classic that's ready for the first one who grabs it. 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.
