Description
This 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback is more than just a great classic pony car. It was given a full restoration that has this one looking extra-sharp. And they also added all the best features, including an A/C interior and five-speed stick shift.
It doesn't get much more desirable than a first-year Mustang with the sleek fastback body. That's why a car like this gets treated with care, and it even underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2016. So the factory-correct Rangoon Red now has a deep luster that comes from modern clearcoat paint and a professional hand applying it. Good paint is always a great way to show off well-done body panels. This luster also complements the shine of the mirror-like brightwork. You get the vintage pieces like the full window trim, badges, and wraparound chrome bumpers. It has thoughtful upgrades such as trumpeted exhaust coming through the rear valance for a little GT-style flair. Plus, the 17-inch Rev polished alloys add to the overall shine package while also letting you fit modern tires.
The black interior received plenty of attention during the restoration, and so it contributed to the car's quality feel. The seats, door panels, headliner, and carpeting all leave a fresh impression. There are good details everywhere from the working courtesy lights to the crisp trunk mat. This one was built for upgraded comfort. That's why you have an armrest center console with cup holders, an AM/FM stereo w/aux input, and cold-blowing air conditioning. As a true driver's coupe, this has a modern take on the classic Rally Pac with upgraded AutoMeter oil pressure and tach. And have you counted the gears on the shifter yet.
This was born a C-code 289 coupe, and so it's good to have a correct-style 289 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. But just like the rest of this car, there has also been a solid investment in the right upgrades. You have added flair with the polished shock tower brace and air grabber. The bright Monte Carlo bar and Cobra valve covers give this a cool Shelby-style attitude. The V8 also has added performance with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and MSD distributor. This is a strong-running package, and you get to take full advantage of it thanks to the upgrade to a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Add in power brakes with upgraded front discs and grippy modern tires afforded by the wheel upgrade, and you really get to understand how this Mustang loves to handle while still letting you feel the road.
Fastbacks are always in-demand, so you know how special it is to find one that looks this good and already has all the best features for modern enjoyment. This restored pony car is ready to hit the road. 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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
