Ford Mustang GT 289 V8 1965
General description :
Description
This 1965 Ford Mustang GT has proper V8 power, four-on-the-floor, a cool color combo, and the overall appeal of finding a true A-code fastback.
Arcadian Blue is one of these great colors for an early Mustang. Sure, these look good in an aggressive red or black, but a creamy light blue fits nicely with its a vintage car appeal. That's why it also has the upgraded US Mags wheels that allow for modern performance tires. We like this fastback because it appeals to the open road as much as it does a local cruise-in. After all, the louvered rear pillar and GT package give this a hint of the sinister. This one even does it a little more distinction with features like the yellow fog lights in the grille and the triple rocker stripe done in a tasteful dark blue. It also has the correct badging and dual trumpet exhaust pipes coming through the rear valence. Plus, there are the right underlying details, like rear frame rail reinforcements for the dual exhaust that give it the right signs of being a real-deal Mustang GT.
The interior gives you a cool blue and white luxury package. It makes for a very well done overall color theme, because after all, it looks like they mixed the two interior colors to get the exterior one. It's a detailed presentation with working courtesy lights, wood-like trim, and the fold-flat rear seat. Plus, everyone loves the look of the running ponies on the backs of the front seats. There are even nice details like the correct trunk mat and AM radio that's still there for display. So just like the exterior, the overall impression is complete, vintage, and ready for those who want a driver's classic. That's why you have bucket seats, a center console in-between, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Hurst floor shifter.
This is an A-code car, so get you a well-done 289 cubic-inch V8 with four-barrel carb for added performance. The whole setup is quite clean from a good investment. There are also nice details, like the correct decals and FoMoCo washer fluid bag. It even has the look of proper power with the ribbed Mustang valve covers and a bracer bar going across the top. It fires up readily, and the V8 makes a terrific sound out of the H-pipe dual exhaust. In fact, when you check out those pipes in the undercarriage photos, you'll see an overall tidy look of quality underneath the whole car. It gives you confidence to take this one out on the road, and that's exactly what a GT mustang is all about. The four-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the V8 power, and the upgraded tires and front disc brakes are great for handling.
This is the Mustang GT with all the right pieces for performance, flair, and distinction. Don't let a well-priced complete package like this 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.
