1965 Ford Mustang Coupe – Documented Restoration

This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is a beautifully restored example of the pony car that changed American motoring. It has undergone a documented nut-and-bolt restoration, backed by photos and receipts, so you can see exactly how the car came back to life. Power comes from a correct rebuilt Ford 289 4-barrel V8 paired with a 3-speed manual. Its mirror-finish Navy Blue paint has been professionally show waxed and detailed, and the correct factory-style dash-mounted air conditioning makes this Mustang as comfortable as it is striking. Whether you plan to show it or drive it, this early Mustang delivers period-correct charm with the paperwork serious collectors value.
