West Coast Classics are proud to present a beautiful example of this original southern California rust free 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 289 V8 Fastback built in San Jose, California and sold with a rebuilt engine with a 4 barrel Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor with electric choke, hard seats and repainted in two stage paint in its original 'Silver Blue' factory color with the correct matching 'Blue Vinyl with Blue Trim' interior and with a rebuilt C4 automatic transmission!
Ford's biggest success of the sixties and the originator of the 'Pony car' concept was essentially a sporty compact car but with a now legendary long hood and short deck proportions, built on Falcon and Fairlane chassis and drive-train components, the Ford Mustang was introduced in April 1964 as '65 models and within a year became the fastest selling car of all time; with these early production cars now carrying special favor! The upgraded V8 from the Falcon six cylinder engine was the 260 c.i. V8 produced on the same assembly line with other 1964 Fords, the early models were titled as 1965 models although they were actually from the 1964 production era. After September 1964 the 260 V8 was dropped in favor of the larger 289 V8 like this particular car.
This particular southern California example is very striking with a two stage repaint in its original 'Silver Blue' factory color and with the original 'Blue Vinyl with Blue Trim' standard interior also having been restored! This is is one very fine example of this very collectible and desirable early production example of the legendary 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback in turn-key ready daily appreciating, daily driving and daily head-turning condition!
