1965 Ford Mustang

For sale in our Chicago showroom is this top to bottom fully restored 1965 A-code Mustang. Originally this vehicle was from Arizona, where it spent most of its life, and how it managed to stay rust-free. Powered by the original 225hp 289 CID V8 engine and shifted by the original 4-speed toploader transmission, this beautiful blue pony is a blast to drive. The years of storage unfortunately took a toll on the cosmetics of this car, but the current owner saw it fit to fully freshen it up to its former glory. Just using any parts wouldn’t do, however. The builder systematically hunted down any and all new old stock parts available to keep the Mustang as correct as possible. The entire original 289 engine was gone through with replacements only installed where needed to maintain as much originality as possible. The rest of the driveline received the same treatment, making this Mustang as good as new.

With all of that work put into the heart of the beast, the suspension couldn’t be ignored. Once again, the builder went to Fords NOS parts bin and raided everything needed to bring the suspension back to its former glory. The paint was tired and couldn’t truly represent a car that has had so much restoration work performed and needed to be refreshed. A complete repaint to the original Silver Ice Blue was performed using a 2-stage urethane/clear coat to give the paint a protective luster sure to last for many years. To insure that the pain job wouldn’t risk unnecessary damage, the brakes were completely gone through and brought back to a safe performance level.

The vehicle drives like a dream and is sure to put a smile on the face of anyone in sight. The exhaust is a refreshing throwback to a time where cars were built for parading around with style, when the drive itself was almost as important as the destination. Options on this 1965 Ford Mustang include: Allow Wheels, AM/FM/CD player, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, and a Numbers Matching Drivetrain.
