The world is eternally moving forward at an extremely fast pace and very few cars have stood the test of time. It was the early 60’s and with Lee Iacocca being the Vice President of the Ford Motor company, the Ford Mustang was destined to be a success, However the company didn’t see it that way and the Mustang was only predicted to sell only 100,000 units yearly, but this was not the case as upon introduction of the Mustang the car sold 400,000 units on its 1st year and then a million units within just 2 years of its launch. The Mustang created the genre of the pony car and has been running for 57 years with over 10 million made to date. It was not only a big win for Ford, but also to the automotive industry as it pushed its competitors to create other iconic cars such as the Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger, further the Mustangs design would change how coupes would look worldwide as its styling cues also inspired the creation of the iconic Toyota Celica and the Ford Capri. If you are on the lookout for a piece of automotive history, or have been bitten by the pony car bug, this first-generation 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible with just 78,074 Miles on the clock and reported to be a numbers-matching car is ideal for you.
