This 1965 Ford Mustang was built as a C-code 289 fastback with Silver-Blue paintwork, a blue interior, and a C-4 automatic. The car was acquired by the seller in 2021, and in 2022 the engine was rebuilt following an oil pump failure with a Holley carburetor, PerTronix ignition, and upgraded cooling components. It is further equipped with GT-style equipment, 15″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and a console. This Mustang is now offered with a car cover, records, and a California title in the seller’s name.
Originally specified in Silver-Blue (Y), the car was refinished recently and features GT_style grille lights, side stripes, and a rear valance with dual exhaust outlets.
A power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system has been retrofitted along with a modern booster and master cylinder for the power-assisted front disc brakes. Uniroyal tires are mounted on the 15″ American Racing Torq Thrust alloys.
Originally specified with a blue standard interior, the car has been redone with blue-and-white Pony upholstery and Luxury-style trim. The seller had the cup holder console re-trimmed to match. Air conditioning and a cassette head unit and aftermarket speakers have been retrofitted, though neither work currently.
Instrumentation consists of a 140-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature. The reset five-digit odometer shows 2k miles, and the seller estimates they have driven the car 2,500 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 289ci V8 was rebuilt in 2022 and is now equipped with PerTronix ignition and a Holley carburetor, and an upgraded cooling system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C-4 three-speed automatic transmission.
