Ford’s Mustang needs no introduction. The Pony Car that started the entire segment was created by Ford and revealed to the world on April 17th, 1964. Since then, it’s still on sale and in its sixth generation. This 1965 Ford Mustang 289ci that we have here is thus a much-coveted classic of an ongoing legacy. It’s a lovely example from Pennsylvania that’s got less than 300 miles after a fresh restoration encompassing a comprehensive rebuild. The seller reports that "When we took this car apart for the resto, everything was taken off the car that was able to be pulled off". Furthermore, it’s reported to sport a numbers-matching motor and transmission for that extra bit of specialty.
Exterior and Interior
The brainchild of Lee Iacocca and designed by Gale Helderman, the Mustang created an iconic silhouette that the sixth generation still pays homage to. The car came in three forms, namely hardtop, convertible, and the famous fastback. This 1965 Ford Mustang 289ci is of the hardtop variety. During the restoration, it’s seen all new sheet metal in almost all areas except the doors and hood, and sports new paintwork in its original Arcadian Blue shade. The iconic Mustang rims are wrapped in brand-new Coker tires with red stripes, and this Mustang sports the optional side rear view mirrors. Venturing inside, the interior has been reupholstered in white during the restoration and offers suitable accommodations for four occupants. There are windshield washers and the original AM radio with fence bands is installed in the dash. All chrome bits gleam beautifully, and the driver faces a classic three-spoke dished steering wheel with the FORD MUSTANG script and logo on the center cup.
Engine
This 1965 Ford Mustang 289ci has had extensive work under the hood as well. It’s propelled by a 289ci (4.7L) Windsor V8 engine that put out 225hp and 305lb.ft when new. It’s got a 4bbl Holley carburetor, new fuel tank and lines and new thick core radiator. It sends power to the rear wheels via a three-speed factory ‘on the floor’ manual transmission. This car has received entirely new suspension and stopping is via drum brakes all round.
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.
