1965 Ford Mustang Coupe 289

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Conceived by young and ambitious Ford general manager Lee Iacocca and debuting on April 17, 1964 at the New York World’s Fair, the Ford Mustang sparked a revolution in American automotive culture.

Built on humble Falcon underpinnings, the Mustang paired compact dimensions with long‑hood, short‑deck proportions. Buyers had a choice of coupe, convertible, and fastback body styles, along with a range of inline-six and V8 engines, making the car endlessly customizable. The formula struck a nerve, as more than a million were sold in the first 18 months of production, and the “pony car” was born.

This red-over-black ’65 Coupe wears ’66-style mesh on its grille, RVM 7-spoke chrome wheels, and High Performance fender badges generally associated with K-code Mustangs. Power steering and brakes were also added by a previous owner. Additional features include bucket seats and chrome front and rear bumpers.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Florida title.
