1965 Ford Mustang Coupe

This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is an exceptional example of first-year pony car style paired with desirable modern mechanical upgrades. Its iconic “C” Code 289 V8 has been through an extensive mechanical restoration, with more than $30,000 invested to deliver a reliable, spirited driving experience. Period-correct touches like a Holley carburetor, Cobra valve covers, and a Cobra air cleaner dress the engine bay, and the original factory parts come with the sale. Power flows through a modern 5-speed manual with a hydraulic clutch, so you get crisp shifts and relaxed highway cruising. Finished in timeless Ivy Green over a matching Ivy Gold leather interior, and equipped with air conditioning, power steering, and power front disc brakes, this Mustang combines show-stopping vintage looks with the comfort to enjoy every mile.
