Ford’s Mustang created a cult, started a trend, and spearheaded a segment. Thanks to Ford’s dynamic team, which included Lee Iacocca, Donald Frey, and Gale Helderman, the Mustang was meant to be a sporty but accessible car that could perform family duties as well. Hence, the pony car was born. Depending on which school of inspiration you believe, the Mustang is named after the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft, as well as the American quarter horse of the same name. Nevertheless, owning a first-generation Mustang is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got a lovingly restored 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback for sale today. The car’s full restoration concluded in 2023, and it has a stroked V8 engine that provides more power.
Exterior and Interior
Showcasing those timeless lines, this 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback comes in a straight shade of black, replete with a set of double racing stripes, otherwise known as over-the-top stripes in white. The current owner reports that the tires, glass parts, and seals are all new as well. The car is an absolute stunner as you start noticing the details, from the front grille-mounted fog lamps to the dainty FORD and MUSTANG badges scattered around its exterior. The interior of this 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback is said to be new, with black leather seat upholstery, a new headliner, and new carpeting. It maintains its period vibe as far as possible, including the wood trim on the dashboard and the thin-rimmed, three-spoke sporty steering wheel with the Mustang emblem on the center cap. The only hint of modernity is the currently installed push-button radio, that is a common upgrade for classic cars because it brings some modern features hidden behind a classic-styled mask. Finally, we must pop the trunk before we pop the hood because the trunk is an oft-overlooked area in restorations. No such issues here, this car’s trunk looks as clean as the rest of the vehicle.
Engine
This 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback has received a new 289ci V8 that’s been stroked to 332ci for a reported output of 350 horsepower. A new 5-speed manual gearbox has been installed to transfer the power to the rear wheels for a real enthusiast-oriented driving experience.
This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.
This 1967 Ford Mustang GTA Restomod takes the classic first-generation Mustang formula and adds a serious catalog of modern performance and comfort upgrades. Showing approximately 301 miles, this example has received an extensive refresh centered around a 347ci Blueprint Engines stroker V8 rated at 440 horsepower, an AOD heavy-duty performance automatic, and a 3.55 Posi-Traction rear differential. Its mechanical upgrades are matched by a thoroughly updated cabin with Procar reclining seats, Dakota Digital instrumentation, Vintage Air, power windows, and a modernized audio system, making this a far more capable and usable take on the original GTA recipe.
This 1968 Ford Mustang Hardtop takes the familiar first-generation Mustang formula and adds a useful mix of performance and drivability upgrades. Finished in Gulfstream Aqua over a reupholstered Aqua vinyl interior, this example is powered by a 302ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and a C4 3-speed automatic transmission. Front and rear disc brakes, air conditioning, an aftermarket power steering pump, upgraded shocks, and an aftermarket exhaust make it more approachable for regular cruising, while the aftermarket GT-style steering wheel and tachometer add a sportier feel from behind the wheel. Showing approximately 43,718 miles, this Mustang offers classic coupe styling with a number of well-chosen updates aimed at making it more enjoyable on the road.
This 1930 Ford Model A Phaeton Hot Rod takes the simplicity of early Ford design and turns it into a traditional open-wheel hot rod with a strong period-inspired attitude. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 topped with triple 2-barrel carburetors and paired with an automatic transmission. The chopped top has been removed, leaving a more open profile beneath the tan convertible soft top, while the exposed engine, staggered aftermarket wheels, dropped front axle, and side-exit exhaust give the car the unmistakable stance and mechanical presence enthusiasts expect from a classic hot rod build.
