1965 FORD MUSTANG 289 V8 5 Speed

If you’ve ever driven an American car, you’ll understand the urge to keep the windows down to listen to your V8 rumble. Why not amplify this experience further by taking the roof down!

This lovely, 3 owner, example of the original 1965 Mustang takes your experience even further with many upgrades over the stock car that, some would consider as over-built for a convertible from the 60’s. But if you want the classic style of an icon brought into the 21st Century, then this Mustang is the one.

Power is brought to you via a very capable 289cu (4.7L) V8 with Edelbrock’s performance top end pack consisting of aluminium performance heads, rocker covers and performance camshaft. Further engine upgrades include the famed Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection with electronic ignition, high torque starter motor, K&N air filter and alloy radiator with electric fan.

Headman Headers flow nicely into a full custom stainless steel exhaust system by Pypes, neatly exiting through the rear valance to maintain its original look.

Handling has been modernised too with the addition of Global West Coil Overs all round with 4 Link Rear Suspension and a rebuilt Limited Slip Differential, all working seamlessly to put the power down nicely.

The 5 speed Tremec manual gearbox, powered rack & pinion steering and Willwood vented & drilled front disc brakes, enhance driver engagement making you feel connected and at one with the car.

15 inch American Racing Torque Thrust Alloy Wheels with BF Goodrich raised white letter tyres complete the exteriors iconic 60’s look and tying in nicely with the exteriors brightwork.

This Mustang also has the optional electronically retractable roof which has been recently re-trimmed with a contrasting blue mohair cover. When retracted, all can see the amazing optional two tone blue & white pony embossed upholstery, optional front headrests and lap belts. For those wishing to tour, the chrome trunk luggage rack will be a very handy addition.

To top all this off, the stereo has been upgraded to a Custom Auto system which combines the classic look of the original radio with modern connectivity, upgraded speakers and a JL amplifier.

These cars were a thrilling experience and built to drive back in their day. This ’65 Stang is testament to making a classic icon an enduring and capable car on our roads today,  a further six decades later. Once you drive this, we have no doubt you’ll agree too.
