The Swinging Sixties was a period that saw the youth on the rise, when the British Invasion happened and when Ford created the ultimate “Pony Car.” For a decade, that left a lasting impact on culture and society; it was even more so for the automotive industry. The Ford Mustang, their Pony Car, was a car unlike any other. Its pioneering design was a magnet that reeled in many skeptics and took the country by storm. The first-generation Mustang was produced from 1964 to 1973 and saw a staggering sales increase of more than 600,000 units annually in 1966. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is here with this lovingly restored 1965 Ford Mustang hardtop with less than 15,000 miles on the original engine.
Exterior and Interior
A Ford Mustang looks good in any color, be it Silver Blue, Honey Gold, or Raven Black among other colors, but nothing is as desirable and eye-catching as the Candyapple Red that this 1965 Ford Mustang hardtop sports, which was also repainted during the restoration of the car. A quick tour around the car will reveal bright and shiny chrome trimmings and parts, thanks to the painstaking process of finding and replacing the exact parts to make it look new. The seller reports that the glass pieces have also been replaced with new ones. It sits on a set of OEM GT-style wheels polished to a mirror sheen with the color Mustang logo in the center. The interior has been completely restored to a sweet tan and red finish that is as comfortable as it looks. The vintage 3-spoke wood and aluminum steering wheel is in place with the Ford Mustang branding in the center. Behind can be seen the black and chrome instrument cluster. The seller has replaced the audio system with a unit from Pioneer along with speakers.
Engine
Car restoration is an immense undertaking, and this is shown in the 1965 Ford Mustang hardtop restoration. The owner reports new spark plugs, new belts, new hoses, a new starter, new brakes and tires, and a recent oil change. Its heart is a 4.3L Small Block V8 engine coupled with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports that the valves have been upgraded from two to four.
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.
