West Coast Classics are proud to present a beautiful example of this 1965 Ford Mustang 2 door hardtop built in Los Angeles, California and with the highly desirable 289 2V 'C' code V8 engine and repainted in a striking 'Dark Blue' color with its original 2 Door Hardtop with Bucket Seats, original C4 automatic transmission, air conditioning, Rally Pac & Gauges, AM/FM radio, 2.80:1 rear axle, Rally wheels, built in the first year of production, and 'Blue Crinkle Vinyl' interior.
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 and becoming fondly known as '64 1/2 models by Mustang enthusiasts!
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, these 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.
Recently acquired by us and obviously always well kept, always garaged and rust free Arizona car and looked after and only restored as required with one repaint in a "Dark Blue' color. The car has factory power steering and air conditioning and must be driven to be fully appreciated - the engine is extremely strong and responsive with excellent oil pressure and no noticeable oil leaks and the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the engine temperature always remains cool.
This is is one very fine example of this very collectible and desirable very straight and rust free first generation model of the legendary Ford Mustang in turn-key ready daily appreciating, daily driving and daily head-turning condition!
You will look long and harder to find a finer example of this highly sought after 1965 first generation Mustang loaded with desirable options including very rare Rally Pac & Air conditioning, a true 'time capsule' if there ever was one!
