As far as looks go, the 1st-generation Ford Mustang is one of the most attractive cars ever built. The "GT" package was the cherry on top of the lineup, packing a more powerful V8 under the hood and completing the look with attractive colors and decals. Today, finding an authentic GT Mustang is a tough thing to do, and finding one that is this nice, with these options, in addition to the history this one has, is extremely hard to accomplish. This 1965 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is the real deal, a fully-loaded factory 4-speed GT convertible that's been owned by a singular family since 1967! This specific '65 Mustang GT is the benefit of a full frame-off restoration, an extremely comprehensive built with less than 500 miles on the odometer since the restoration was completed in 2007! Powered by a correct, "A-Code" 289 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '65 Mustang GT is seriously quick. Adding to this Mustang's appeal is the 4-speed manual transmission sitting behind that powerful 289, good for both quick shifting and plenty of smiles behind the wheel. The exterior is bathed in a beautifully-correct "Vintage Burgundy" hue, covering the length of this GT's laser-straight bodylines wonderfully. It pairs perfectly to the white convertible top and accenting lower GT "MUSTANG" stripes, making sure that this Mustang turns heads anywhere it is driven. In addition, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs on this '65 GT are all rock-solid and in fantastic shape! Opening this drop-top's twin doors reveals a stunningly-functional "Parchement" vinyl interior, in a condition that's almost like taking a step back into 1965. Complete with GT gauges, a "Rally-Pac" instrument cluster with working clock, comfy bucket seats, a stock AM/FM radio and woodgrain trim for added luxury flair, it's clear that this Mustang was fully-loaded from the factory. Options include power steering, front disc brakes, GT foglights, original GT gauges, a working factory "Rally-Pac" setup with tachometer and clock, a power convertible top, a heater + defroster, a remote chrome driver's mirror, a woodgrain steering wheel, a original AM/FM radio, vent windows, and a mean-sounding GT dual exhaust system. The car rides on a sleek set of stock 14" Mustang chrome wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for an appearance straight out of a 1965 Ford advertisement! For as nice as this Mustang looks, it runs and drives down the freeway even better. With those dual exhausts, it sounds wonderful, and it's ready to put a smile on your face at the turn of a key.
