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 been given the right investments and care to have a sleek all-black style, healthy V8, and plenty of nice extras makes for an all-around in-demand coupe.
You know from looking around at Mustangs that 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. It was upgraded to black later in life, and this glossy but dark finish seems to go with the car's sportier style nicely. This is a first-year Mustang, and so it's great to see a coupe that respects the classic lines. Bright chrome bumpers, well-fitting doors, and details like correct 2+2 badging give this the right vintage style. Even the upgrade to American Racing Torq Thrust wheels fit into the overall look, because they have classic style that a car like this would have often received on its first day off the Ford dealer lot.
The fresh and clean black interior means this fastback has been upgraded to the ultra-desirable full blackout style. The headliner, doors, dash, upholstery, and more all have the excellent look of a quality investment. You have bucket seats up front with the desirable deluxe "pony" package style seatbacks, and the rear bench folds flat if you want this to have a true racecar look. It's an overall package that will really make you want to go for a drive. Especially because the radio is now a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner and there are modern Kicker speakers to really give you upgraded driving music.
Under the hood is Ford's mighty 289 cubic-inch motor. The V8 inhales deeper thanks to an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet tune out of the dual exhaust. It has the look of proper maintenance with good fundamentals, including newer belts, hoses, wires, and distributor. And the way this fires up and runs reaffirms the quality care feeling. This one was built for you to enjoy the drive. That's why you have good cursing features, like a three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes with upgraded front discs, and wide modern tires afforded by the wheel upgrade.
This always in-demand fastback is a sleek and iconic total package that's ready to hit the streets right now. 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.
