This 1965 Ford Mustang convertible is finished in black over red and powered by a replacement 289ci V8 paired with a Toploader four-speed manual transmission. Features include a black convertible soft top, power steering, front disc brakes, 14″ chrome wheels, BFGoodrich double redline tires, and Scott Drake shock absorbers as well as dual mirrors, red side stripes, Rally Pac gauges, a dual exhaust system, a Monte Carlo brace, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo. The car was acquired by the seller in 2019, and subsequent work consisted of replacing the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, water pump, radiator assembly, heater box, front suspension, rear leaf springs, and various interior components. This Mustang convertible is offered with service records since 2019, spare parts, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in black and is said to have been repainted during previous ownership. Features include a powered black convertible top, grille-mounted driving lamps, chrome-finished bumpers, red side stripes, and a dual-outlet exhaust that exits through the rear valence. The hood, front bumper, fenders, floor pans, and quarter panels are said to have been replaced during previous ownership, and the rockers were repaired during current ownership.
The 14″ chrome wheels wear Pony center caps and are mounted with 205/70 BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial redline tires. The car is equipped with an Eaton power steering system, an export brace, a Monte Carlo bar, and Scott Drake shock absorbers. Braking is handled by hydraulic front discs and rear drums. The front suspension, driver’s side rear subframe, drag links, tie rod ends, and rear leaf springs are said to have been replaced during current ownership. The power steering high-pressure line leaks fluid.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in red vinyl joined by a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Features include black accents, a center console with cupholders, a lockable glovebox, a heater, a wooden shifter knob, a Kicker amplifier, aftermarket speakers, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo.
The three-spoke simulated wood steering wheel frames a sweeping 120-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. A Rally Pac cluster housing an 8k-rpm tachometer and an electric clock is mounted to the steering column. The five-digit odometer shows 83k miles, approximately 2,300 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown. The seller notes that the electric clock drains the battery, and the speedometer cable has been replaced.
The replacement A-code 289ci V8 breathes through a four-barrel carburetor and features a gold-painted air intake lid and valve covers. Service since 2019 reportedly consisted of rebuilding the carburetor and replacing the thermostat, radiator, fan, shroud, and water pump.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Toploader four-speed manual transmission. The clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, and flywheel were replaced during current ownership.
