If you think all the solidand#44; clean Mustangs are goneand#44; take another look at this lovely 1965 Mustang coupe. Its actually a very early production Mustangand#44; commonly called a 1964½and#44; which means that the V8 is an F-code 260 and the details are slightly different that its younger siblings. If you like Mustangs but want one thats a little out of the ordinaryand#44; this coupe definitely fits the bill. The paint isnt originaland#44; but it is nicely done and accurately replicates the original code Z Chantilly Beige Metallic finish. In additionand#44; there are no signs of significant bodywork or repairsand#44; which means is that someone really cared about this car and it was obviously never someones daily driver. Its not perfectand#44; but it has a suitably vintage look that seems to work rather well on the low-key pony car. In the same veinand#44; the chrome and trim has been very well preserved and only replaced as necessary over the cars lifetime. Bumpers are superband#44; and the rocker panel trim is clean and undamaged. Appropriate Mustang badges and logos are still affixed to the body as originaland#44; and the iconic 3-element taillight lenses are still clear and bright. Inside youll find a code 86 Black Crinkle bucket seat interiorand#44; much of which is original. The seats are in excellent conditionand#44; showing only light wear and ageand#44; most notably in the form of small splits on the outside corners of the seat backs. Carpets are excellentand#44; perhaps too nice to be 50 years oldand#44; and the headliner remains taut and stain-free. A center console is a great addition and yesand#44; the A/C system still blows ice cold. The original AM radio is goneand#44; replaced by a modern AM/FM/cassette head unit with speakers on the rear package shelf. Original door panels show you what 1965 OEM craftsmanship was likeand#44; which is why survivors are so special: the perfection we achieve with restored cars today doesnt really reflect the reality. Even the trunk is properly finished with a plaid mat and a spare tire with matching cover This particular Mustang is still powered by its original F-code 260 cubic inch V8and#44; which was rated at 164 horsepower in 1964½. With a 2-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmissionand#44; this one wasnt built with the drag strip in mindand#44; but it is satisfyingly quickand#44; with a great V8 burble from the tailpipe. The engine bay is full of early Mustang detailsand#44; from the black block and gold tin work to the generator making the electricity to the ventilated header to help keep the generator cool. Its not super detailedand#44; but its clean and well-maintained and runs superbly. A C4 3-speed automatic feeds an 8-inch rear full of 3.00 gears and its equipped with both power steering and power brakes. The tires are recent 205/60/14 white-letter radials around optional wire wheel covers. Regularly maintained and highly reliableand#44; this is one of those hobby cars that you can just get in and drive whenever the mood strikes you. Not a show-winnerand#44; but exactly the kind of hobby car that gets people excited when they see it because everyone remembers when they had one just like it. This is a lot of Mustang fun for not a lot of money. Call today! |
