Ford Mustang 289 V8 1965

Allmän beskrivning : SUPER NICE CONVERTIBLE THAT RUNS/DRIVES GREAT! 289 V8, AUTO, PWR STEER, PWR TOP!

If you've been wanting an early Mustang convertible, we're going to urge you to buy one soon. Prices are most definitely on the move and after years of being affordable cars, Mustangs like this 1965 ragtop are steadily rising in the price department. This one offers all the right equipment, including a 289 cubic inch V8 and a great color combination, and we really don't expect it'll last very long on the showroom floor.
Originally code C Honey Gold, this one was restored in stunning Prowler Orange and for an early Mustang, it looks fantastic. Closely resembling Emberglo, it seems to accentuate the car's honest good looks and with just a hint of metallic in the mix, it looks warm and inviting, not too modern and not too radical. Good bodywork is always critical on a Mustang, whose unibody construction relies on strong bones underneath. Good gaps and panel alignment make the car show well at local cruise nights and casual shows, and the chrome bumpers sparkle against the coppery paint. Other external details worth noting are the correct 1965 pony "corral" in the front grille, complete with cross bars (which were 1965 only), bright rim in the C-scoop quarters, and handsome three-element taillights out back. And on any early Mustang, the most important badge might be the little "289" emblem on the front fenders which all fans know to look for and this car comes by honestly.
The clean black Pony interior is classic Mustang at its best. Elegant and sophisticated, it brought an air of genuine style to the affordable pony car market, and with details like the woodgrained steering wheel and a modern center console, the car has a definitely upscale vibe. The seat covers, carpets, and door panels were new when the car was restored (the interior was also originally black and white) and everything is still in great shape today. The gauges are GT-spec surrounded by correct woodgrained appliques that warm things up a bit inside. The factory AM radio has been replaced by a newer digital AM/FM unit that fits neatly and didn't require any cutting, so everything is just like it should be. Overhead there's a recent black power convertible top and it comes with a matching black boot for a trim look. Finally, the trunk is outfitted with black carpets that look great and includes a spare tire assembly with matching cover.
As you surely know, there's no way to determine matching-numbers on an early Mustang, but the engine is a correct C-code 289 cubic inch V8. Dressed in Ford Blue engine enamel with chrome tinwork, it has a high-performance overall look. The original 2-barrel carburetor has been replaced with a 4-barrel Holley with electric choke on an aluminum intake manifold. Experts will note that's a GM HEI distributor, complements of DUI, and it really makes this small block cackle. It's been updated with a Borgeson power steering setup, which totally transforms the Mustang's road manners, and the sparkling undercarriage suggests a lot of money was recently spent on this pony. Dual exhaust with glasspack-style mufflers give it a burly, fun-loving exhaust note and the C4 3-speed automatic transmission is always ready to serve up a downshift to scoot through traffic. Flashy American racing aluminum wheels give it a bit of an aggressive look and are fitted with new blackwall radials that really fill the fenders.
Don't say we didn't warn you. We sell a lot of early Mustangs and prices are definitely on the move. Grab a charming early Mustang and find out what the world's been talking about for fifty years. Call now!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
