1965 Ford Mustang Convertible

1965 Ford Mustang Convertible For consignment, a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible with a title verified 78,231 actual miles. This one is a project car with decent bones and is actually a 1964.5 based on the D code in the VIN for the engine. A blank slate, if you will, that will benefit from your imaginative input. Top up or top down, the skys the limit with this one! Exterior Mostly primer gray here with some rough panels that include previously riveted patches, filler, gap issues, and missing body trim. The grille and lights are intact and 14-inch wheels wear proper hub caps with faux knock offs. The hood, remnants of the rocker panels, and trunk lid wear maroon paint, but its not salvageable if full restoration is in your playbook. There is no windshield nor trim, and no side mirror. Interior Were essentially looking at a shell on the inside with no floor covering and no door panels. There are white vinyl buckets up front with tears and discoloration, and the back bench is also tired with side wall trim that is torn up. Up front, the original steering wheel is cracked and discolored and while the instrument cluster seems to be intact, the surrounding dash is weathered and the dash pad badly warped. A shifter in corresponding condition rises from the floor with torn rubber boot, faded handle, and restorable base. The trunk is unfinished and loaded up with parts. Drivetrain Per our consignor, the 289ci V8 under the hood was rebuilt 7 years ago. It has a 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission, sending power to the Ford 8 axle in back. Polished Edelbrock valve covers and a Ford Racing air filter cover hint at what could be with this otherwise driver quality and tired engine bay. New power drum brakes are at all four corners and have new brake lines. Undercarriage Surface rust abounds, of course, and there is some invasive stuff on inner body panels and the floorboard. No oil to speak of and the dual exhaust are straight, short pipes that come off of headers and abruptly end under the car. Drive-ability It does run, but its loud and we take a quick lap around the loop to make sure it shifts and moves. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. If youre looking for a project, consider resurrecting this 65 Stang. With a rebuilt engine and new brakes, its already on its way! Now its up to you to pick an exterior and interior color and start shopping at the myriad of aftermarket resources for pony restoration. 5F08D131823 5-1965 F-Dearborn, MI Assy Plant 08-Mustang Convertible D-289ci 4bbl V8 131823-Sequential Unit Number Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climate controlled 336,000-square foot showroom (thats more than 8 acres!).
