1965 Ford Mustang
View Description
This 1965 Mustang is part of the first-generation Ford produced from 1964 until 1969. Within the first production year more than 417,000 Mustangs were sold, setting a record for a new model from Detroit; not to mention creating an entire class of automobiles by itself. These cars had sporty long hoods, along with short rear short decks, and became the progenitor of the 'Pony Car' market. The '65 Mustang was the beginning of a market that still is going strong today, with Camaros, Challengers, Cougars, Barracudas and more joining the fray in the early years. This good-looking 1965 Mustang is equipped with a 289 CID V8, which is topped by a 4BBL carb and aluminum intake manifold. Cast iron manifolds scavenge the exhaust gases into its dual exhaust system, which has a nice subtle burble to its note. One pleasant surprise for the driver is the 5-speed manual transmission, which has plenty of ratio spread to make this a fun driver in town and on the interstate. The completely revamped interior comes from TMI, and sports a Pony Pac look to it, but with modern high-grade synthetic leather seating surfaces with Alcantara-style inserts....
