Description
This 1965 Ford Mustang GT Fastback has a cool color combo, desirable features, updated V8 power, and four-on-the-floor. And when it comes to first-year fastbacks, you know the price is terrific.
The fastback is the one we all want, and this one is even a factory Rangoon Red car. It was resprayed later in to give it a refreshed finish. It isn't perfect, and that may just be the way you want this car. As you dig a bit deeper, you'll see this was made for driving. So it's good to have one that doesn't make you nervous to leave the driveway, and it can still get respectful nods at the stoplights. For those who need concours-level paint and chrome, the value price on this one should leave that room in your budget. There is no window sticker to give this a 100 percent GT verification, but it is an A-code car with many of the right pieces in place. You have the fog lights in the grille, triple rocker stripe, correct GT badging, and the dual exhaust coming through the rear valance. Plus, the styled steel wheels with double redline tires not only add to the sporty style, but also look awesome against this red and chrome total package.
Black interiors always look sharp against red exteriors, and the trim tag tells us this Mustang was born with this ideal color combo. There are nice details, like the fold-down rear seat and working courtesy lights. There is some room for improvement. For example, you have the ultra-desirable Rally Pac there for display, and since it's a worthwhile feature, you may decide to have this tach and clock combo working again. Plus, this already feels like a well-done driver's machine today with the front bucket seats, grippy sports steering wheel, and upgraded Hurst shifter.
The A-code cars added more power to Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8, and this one takes that spirit up a notch. It's a clean-looking motor that's really distinguished with matte black valve covers and red inserts to match the exterior. The V8 inhales deeper with a Demon four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with added power and authority as headers feed a dual exhaust w/Flowmasters. There's even an aluminum radiator w/electric fan to help keep this package running cool. The four-speed manual transmission gives you firm control over the power and its rumbling soundtrack. And it feels solid out on the road with features like front disc brakes and a modern tread on those classic-style tires.
A first-year fastback will always be in-demand. Especially when you have a classic that's' built to drive. So don't miss this deal. 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.
