This 1965 Ford Mustang was refurbished prior to the seller’s 2007 acquisition, and subsequent work involved installing a 302ci V8 and a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in green with a black top and has black vinyl upholstery. Additional features include a revised camshaft, cylinder heads, and exhaust manifolds in addition to 14″ styled steel wheels, front disc brakes, fog lights, chrome bumpers, front bucket seats, a push-button radio, and a cabin heater. This Mustang convertible is now offered with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The car left the factory finished in Ivy Green and was refinished under prior ownership. It is equipped with a power-retractable black soft top, GT-style fog lamps, rocker panel moldings, and chrome bumpers.
Styled 14″ steel wheels are mounted with 225/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The seller notes that subframe connectors and ladder bars have been installed.
The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl with coordinated trim. A push-button radio and cabin heater are fitted.
Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by fuel-level and water-temperature gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 602 miles, approximately 250 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The seller notes that the 302ci V8 was sourced from a 1995 model year Ford and fitted with E7-specification cylinder heads, a hydraulic roller camshaft, ceramic-coated exhaust headers, and a Be Cool radiator in addition to a March Performance accessory drive system and a polished alternator and power steering pump.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission. The dual exhaust system is equipped with Dynomax mufflers.
The warranty number is consistent with a 1965 Mustang convertible that was built in Dearborn, Michigan, and equipped with a 289ci V8 and four-barrel carburetor. Decoding the trim tag reveals the following information:
