39-Years-Owned 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback A-Code 289 3-Speed

Description

The Ford Mustang officially debuted at the Ford Pavilion as part of the New York World's Fair on April 17th, 1964. Championed by Lee Iacocca, the car instantly became an automotive icon known for its style, sportiness, and affordability. With a base price of approximately $2,368, Ford projected 100,000 units would sell in the first year, but dealers took over 22,000 orders on the first day alone, leading to more than 400,000 sales in the first 12 months.

This ‘65 A-Code Fastback has been with the seller since 1987 and is finished in Wimbledon White over blue upholstery. Power comes from a 289ci V8 paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Aftermarket air conditioning was installed approximately 10 years ago, and additional details include GT-style trim, 14” Pony-style steel wheels, blue side stripes, a Panasonic cassette stereo, drum brakes, and a dual exhaust system.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback A-Code is now offered with a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.
