1965 Ford Mustang Coupe Description:

Iconic good looks and plenty of bona fide collectability value to boot! This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe offers an outstanding level of drivability, as well as an overall configuration that's come through the years in largely original form, with just a few well-chosen upgrades to add a bit of stylistic flair and improve functionality. It's running strong and stands eagerly by to provide its next owner with future chapters of vintage motoring satisfaction that can only be found behind the... wheel of one of the most pivotal of all classic cars. The red paint draped over the exterior strikes a nice balance - vibrant enough to provide plenty of visual energy yet not so flashy as to be distracting - and a number of tasteful additions are on display to provide some distinction. A pair of fog lights take their place just below the front bumper to help illuminate the path ahead, the special edition rear valance sports a pair of cutouts for the dual exhaust to confer a GT-like appearance and the updated "302" badging on the front fenders provides a nod to the upgraded engine beneath the hood. The array of chrome is looking strong, including the bumpers at both ends, the body trim and side mirrors, and the rubber seals surrounding the windows are in great shape as well. Inside, the Palomino-colored confines this '65 features was among the most coveted interior colors in its era and even now it remains a very popular selection for aftermarket enthusiasts - after all, what could be a more fitting accompaniment to a vehicle that gave rise to the classification, "Pony Car"? From all appearances, it was only recently installed and the vinyl surfaces of both the front buckets and rear bench seat have had little occasion to develop much wear as they loom over matching carpet that's punctuated with a pair of branded floor mats up front and appears just as fresh. Sitting between the front buckets is an aftermarket center console that really blends well with its surroundings, both in terms of color and styling, and offers a pair of cupholders and some welcome interior storage space. The dash area harbors a fresh instrument cluster whose lightly colored facing stands out from the norm and is capped by a supple pad running over the top. A retro-style AM/FM radio teams with both the factory speakers on the back deck, as well as an additional pair added inside the carpeted trunk area to provide a strong audio experience. This vintage Mustang really shines under the hood. The 302 cubic inch V8 in the center of the compartment is dressed with an assortment of chrome components, including the air cleaner, Monte Carlo bar, surrounding hoses and shock tower brackets. Its power is enhanced by a 4-barrel carb perched on an Edelbrock intake manifold, as well as a pair of aftermarket headers, while farther forward, the added Wizard Cooling aluminum radiator helps keep temperatures from climbing in more demanding conditions. The small block pairs with a smooth shifting 3-speed C4 automatic transmission to make for a very capable drivetrain - there'll be no issues getting this beauty out on the road just as soon as you bring it home. Power steering makes for easy navigation as this Mustang rolls on its set of 16" chrome American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. Below, the undercarriage appears to be reassuringly solid. This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe represents the increasingly rare opportunity to own a sound, road ready Pony car sporting its evocative stock look, with just a touch of customization blended into the mix.
