This 1965 Ford Mustang convertible was repainted red and its 289ci V8 was rebuilt under previous ownership, and it was acquired by the seller in 2021. The car also has a three-speed automatic transmission, wire-spoke wheel covers, a GT-style dual exhaust system, front disc brakes, power steering, a white soft top, bucket seats trimmed in black upholstery, a retro-look stereo, and a Rally Pac tachometer and clock. This Mustang is now offered with the owner’s manual and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car was delivered from the factory in Wimbledon White and was repainted red under previous ownership. The power-retractable white soft top stores under a black cover when lowered, and the GT-style dual exhaust system exits through the rear valance.
The 14″ steel wheels wear wire-style covers with faux knock-off centers and are mounted with 205/75 Hankook Optimo H724 tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl with Black trim. The retro-look stereo has an auxiliary input and is linked to kick-panel-mounted speakers.
Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. A Rally Pac 6k-rpm tachometer and analog clock are mounted over the steering column. The five-digit odometer shows 87k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.
The 289ci V8 was rebuilt under previous ownership according to the seller, and it has been fitted with a Cobra dress-up kit. A dual-circuit master cylinder has also been installed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission and a rear axle with 2.80:1 gears.
