OVERVIEW

This 1965 Ford Mustang coupe has been with its current owner for 15 years and is powered by a replacement 289cid V8 equipped with 302cid heads and backed by a rebuilt C4 three-speed automatic transmission.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The exterior is finished in red. Features include chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, a fender-mounted antenna, and GT-style rear valance-exit exhaust outlets.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of 15-inch Weld Racing Draglite aluminum wheels is wrapped in 165R15 radial front and 215/65R15 Stinger Radial GTS rear tires. The rear center caps are missing.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The front bucket seats and the rear seat were reupholstered in black vinyl in 2008. Features include manual windows and steering, a three-spoke Grant steering wheel, an AM radio, and a floor-mounted automatic transmission shifter. The seller states that missing parts include the shifter top lever and the driver-side interior door armrest. Additionally, there is pitting on the chrome levers.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

A 120-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature are located ahead of the driver. A set of three Sunpro gauges for the coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage is located under the dashboard. The odometer reads 34,377 miles, which reflects the mileage on the rebuilt engine. The true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

Power is provided by a non-original 289cid V8 equipped with 302cid heads and backed by a rebuilt C4 three-speed automatic transmission. The engine received a top-end rebuild in 2018. Engine bay features include finned aluminum valve covers, an MSD ignition, a chrome air cleaner, an aluminum radiator, and a chrome Monte Carlo bar.

UNDERCARRIAGE

This Mustang was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by manual four-wheel drums. As part of a 2022 fuel system update, a new JEGS gas tank, a new pump, and new filters were installed. The U-joints and driveshaft were replaced and the driveshaft was balanced in 2008. Perforating rust is present on the undercarriage.
