This here is one great example of classic '60s style. On the showroom floor now is this stunning 1965 Ford Mustang. Being a genuine 2-owner car, this one sure is special and is about as correct as they come. This Mustang has lots of different features that make it a pleasure to drive, including upgraded, adjustable bolstered bucket seats and a vintage-style AM/FM digital radio with upgraded speakers. When the Mustang was introduced in 1964, it took the world by storm. With the Mustang, Ford initiated the 'Pony Car" segment of the automotive market characterized by distinctive characteristics of a long hood and short deck. The introduction of the Mustang proved to be immensely popular, provoking a whole host of competition from cross-town rivals such as GM and Chrysler. This '65 model is one of the earliest Mustangs built, evidenced by its 260 C.I. engine and gauge cluster. Powered by a 260 C.I. V8 (that appears to be original!) breathing through a 2-barrel carburetor, this Mustang is one sharp cruiser. Additionally, the fun-factor of this Ford is amped up by its three-speed manual transmission with a B&M shifter. What really sets this Mustang apart from others is its stunning, F-code, 1964 1/2 only "Guardsman Blue" paint with white vinyl top and white pinstriping. All this beauty is laid out over an extremely straight body for a nice fit and finish. That wonderful paint scheme extends to the blue interior, where new leather bucket seats await the driver. These seats are especially comfortable with their extra bolstering and adjustability, and they don't disrupt the original-looking feeling of the interior whatsoever. Options fitted to this Ford include newer, adjustable and bolstered leather seats, an updated vintage-style AM/FM digital radio, seatbelts, a heater + defroster, factory gauges, and a nice-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on some factory-style wire wheels on top of some Hankook whitewall tires for that classic, "fresh off the assembly line" Mustang look. This Mustang has everything it needs to be a truly wonderful (and stylish) driver, and the seats make it extremely enjoyable to drive. If you're looking for a classic that is plenty of fun but doesn't sacrifice its intended factory style, then this Mustang is just what you're looking for.
