1965 Ford Mustang

1965 Ford Mustang Coupe 3-Speed Introducing this 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe 3-Speed finished in Rangoon Red over a black interior. This car comes from the first full model year of Ford Mustang (1965) production, a model that helped define the pony car segment with its compact dimensions, long hood, and short rear deck proportions. It was Fords response to a growing demand for affordable, stylish performance coupes, and it set the tone for an entire class of American cars.Highlights:- Exterior Color: Rangoon Red- 6-Cylinder Engine- 3-Speed Manual Transmission- Single-Barrel Carburetor- Chrome Trim and Brightwork- Full-Length Factory-style Center Console- Wood-Rimmed Pony-style Steering Wheel- 14-Inch Steel Wheels- Full-Size Spare Tire IncludedUnder the hood is an inline 6-cylinder engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and a single-barrel carburetor. This configuration was commonly offered in early Mustangs and reflects the emphasis on simplicity, reliability, and ease of service rather than high output. Built on mechanical foundations shared with the Ford Falcon, the drivetrain layout was designed to be straightforward and durable, making maintenance more accessible for everyday use.The exterior is finished in Rangoon Red, a period-correct color that highlights the clean body lines of the 1965 design. Chrome bumpers and brightwork run along the front and rear, reinforcing the early Mustangs simple but recognizable styling before later generations added more visual complexity. The car sits on 14-inch steel wheels with simulated wire wheel covers, maintaining a factory-style appearance, and it is accompanied by a full-size spare tire.Inside, the cabin features black vinyl upholstery with front bucket seats and a rear bench. The layout is functional and driver-focused, including a wood-rimmed Pony-style steering wheel, vent windows, a glove box, and a driver-side mirror. A factory-style center console runs between the seats, giving the interior a more structured and finished feel compared to base trim configurations of the time.Overall, this Mustang reflects the early formula that made the model successful: accessible engineering, straightforward mechanical design, and styling that balanced sportiness with everyday usability. It remains a clear example of Fords original vision for the Mustang, built to be practical, recognizable, and mechanically sound. For $19,750
