Overview of 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible For Sale by Owner

The Ford Mustang is one of the most important historical pillars of American automobilia, as it created the category known as the pony car. Introduced in 1964 and going strong ever since, the Mustang has been hot-rodded, thrashed round circuits, raced on the drag strips, and played the role of a dependable and desirable boulevard cruiser. It’s not hard to find someone who’s lusted after a Mustang. If you’re one of those people who lust after a classic Mustang in the glory of originality, here’s a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible from Virginia Beach for you to consider. It’s got a healthy 118,870 miles on the clock and is for sale by its second owner. Reportedly sporting a numbers-matching motor and transmission combo, the seller says that it’s always been properly serviced with recent maintenance in 2020 and 2021. The seller also says that it’s been in a lot of competitive shows. Classic Mustangs like this make for great investments too, so it’s a win-win situation.

Exterior and Interior

Gale Helderman’s timeless design that is still referenced in the current generation shows just how adored the Mustang really is. This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible has reportedly been restored to original condition and proudly shows off its Vintage Burgundy paintwork with period-correct wheels and tires. Being a drop-top, it’s got a nice black convertible top that can be lowered for when you want to see the sky and feel the wind blow past. All chrome bits, badges and exterior details are present and correct too. The interior sports a black color theme and accommodates four occupants on leather seats. The driver grips a thin-rimmed three-spoke sporty steering wheel with the iconic Pony on the center cap. This car has had an upgrade to the radio in the shape of an AM/FM/Cassette unit. Pop the trunk and you will find a pristine trunk liner and spare wheel too, along with a fire extinguisher which is an essential piece of kit for any classic car.

Engine

The Pony must gallop, trot or canter, and the first generation Mustang offered a variety of in-line sixes and V8 engines, ranging from 170ci (2.8L) to 289ci (4.7L). This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is more suited to a leisurely trot with its 200ci (3.3L) Thriftpower in-line six cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels via a reportedly original three-speed manual gearbox. This engine isn’t going to set the dragstrip on fire with its 120hp and 190lb-ft output, but is known as a reliable and economical powerplant, the ideal companion for a chilled-out top-down cruise.
