Description
The super-clean lines and the sporty sheetmetal of this 1965 Mustang 2+2 fastback have made them the favorite classic for the first-year pony car. So to have one that's restored with a sleek black, healthy V8, and plenty of nice extras makes for an all-around in-demand coupe.
You know from looking around at Mustangs the fastback is always the most popular. After all, it was the style that looked like it had the most gallop in all of the pony car crowd. And today that admiration only grows on a car that looks this complete. The desire starts with the paint. The restoration included a big investment in professional application. It has the kind of luster to immediately attract attention in the sunlight, and you just know you'll also enjoy watching the finish reflect the neon signs at night. The investment in this classic included the brightwork, too. The bumpers, grille, rockers, trim, and other pieces have a shine that rivals the paint. Add in those upgraded 17-inch torque thrust wheels add to the flair while also letting you fit more modern tires.
The fresh and clean black interior means this fastback has been upgraded to the ultra-desirable full blackout style. The carpeting, headliner, doors, and dash all have the right look of a quality investment. You have bucket seats up front, and the rear bench fold flat if you want this to have a true racecar look. There's even a floor shifter and a nice wood-rimmed steering wheel on an upgraded tilt column for the proper sporty style.
Under the hood, the clean golden air grabber and valve covers look terrific in the tidy dark engine bay. As you get closer, the restoration really shows it was detail-oriented, right down to the factory-style decals. The consignor even believes this is the original motor for the car, and that the low odometer reflects the total mileage. The 289 cubic-inch V8 is a strong running package that inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor. And the H-pipe dual exhaust lets it exhale with a hypnotic tune. The photos show a clean undercarriage and even an upgraded Flaming River power steering system. There's also a three-speed automatic transmission and modern Goodyear tires to keep this a fine driver.
The sale comes complete with owner's manual, build receipts, and restoration photos. This always in-demand fastback has all the right features to be more aggressive without losing that original pony car spirit. It's a sleek and iconic total package that's ready to hit the streets today. 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.
