Ford Mustang 289 V8 1965
General description :
289 V8, 3SPD AUTO, PWR STEER, RUN/DRIVES GR8, CLEAN IN/OUT, GT350 STYLING, NICE!
This car gets all of the cool elements right. After all, it's a 1964.5 Ford Mustang coupe, has plenty of V8 power, and all the right upgrades – including a cool GT350 package. Does that make it all the best features in one? Heck yea!
Everyone clamors for a Wimbledon White first-year Mustang like this one. This was the color of the very first car because it just gave the early 1964.5 cars a regal appearance. But you love this one for more than just its history. It has a great GT350-style intimidation factor with a nice set of blue stripes painted on the hood and sides. In fact, just look at the details work on the rocker stripes and how they continue inside the wheel opening so that nothing gets in their way. Plus, the details are nice and aggressive with the hood scoop, side scoops, and exhaust coming out of the rear valance. There's even an upgraded set of Ridler 17-inch wheels so you can fit proper modern performance tires.
Just like the exterior, the interior takes classic style and gives it some nice upgrades. For starters, you still get the same low-back bucket seat profile you love in an early Mustang, but now there's a comfortable armrest center console with cup holders. The radio looks correct, but it's actually a retro-style unit with a digital tuner and an input for modern music players. Even the steering wheel has been upgraded to a grippy sports unit. Beyond the improvements you can also tell there has been a solid investment to getting this classic feeling fresh and clean.
Under the hood, the Cobra valve covers and long Cobra air topper make for a nice presentation. Plus, as an early D-code mustang, you'll be happy to have a 289 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. You'll even notice some 1964.5-correct features like the generator. This one has also been improved where it counts. For example, the Holley four-barrel carburetor with electric choke means good power and an easy start. It makes a nice rumble from the newer stainless dual exhaust. Out on the road, features like the three-speed automatic transmission and power steering means you can show off this early Mustang with Shelby attitude everywhere with ease.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a sharp-looking Shelby tribute with a great history, too. So if you like your classic with a story to tell, don't let this one slip away. Call now!

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.
