1965 Ford Mustang

*1965 Ford Mustang Coupe*When the Ford Mustang debuted in April of 1964 as a 1964 1/2 model year, it caused a sensation never before seen in the automotive world. A stylish, affordable coupe that could be customized to fit any use case and budget from the factory, the Mustang went on to be the fastest selling new car in history, with more than half a million cars sold in the first year, with over 22,000 ordered on the day of its release. This 1965 Mustang was part of that group and remains an absolutely fantastic looking car that has been treated to a very nice driver restoration.This 1965 Mustang A-Code is finished in a beautiful shade of Ivy Green metallic which was applied during the restoration by West Coast Collision in 2016. Looking around the car, you can tell that the shop really knows what they are doing when it comes to paint and body work, with laser straight bodywork and panel gaps around the car that Ford couldn't have dreamed of in 1965. The car now sits on a set of later Mustang Magnum 500 wheels, which fit the look of the car perfectly and are wrapped in a set of Radial T/A tires.During the restoration, the interior was also completely reupholstered in the original style. The black vinyl throughout the interior is a nice compliment to the green exterior and the quality of the upholstery work is quite high. Slide down into the driver's seat and you are met by a GT350-style wood-rimmed wheel that feels great in the hands and frames the horizontal 120-mph speedometer. Aside from the new wheel, the only other modification of note is an original looking head unit from Custom Autosound with USB and Aux capabilities giving you modern convenience with a classic look.Powering this Mustang is a 289 cubic inch V8. Known as an A-Code, this was one of the higher performing variants of Mustang in the model's first year, with higher compression (10:1) pistons and a 4bbl carburetor which combined to make 225 horsepower. During the restoration, the heads were rebuilt and the engine bay was refinished, in the original style, but to a higher level of finish than it would have had from the factory. Power is then sent through a C4 3-speed automatic gearbox to the rear wheels. The suspension was completely refreshed and the car now has front disc brakes and power steering so it is much nicer to drive.Without a doubt, the original Ford Mustang is one of the most beloved classic cars in the world. Pretty much everybody has a story about a Mustang, and there is no better way to make your own than from behind the wheel of this car. Presented in excellent condition throughout, this is the perfect cruise night car, or could serve as a great basis to do some mechanical upgrades and turn it into a high performance street machine. Whatever you decide, with all the hard work already completed, this Mustang is ready to be enjoyed and will always make you smile when you slide behind that steering wheel.*Key Features* * Restored by West Coast Collision in 2016 *
