1965 Ford Mustang Coupe 289

Description

Introduced for 1964 ½ production, the Ford Mustang created the pony car segment and quickly became one of the most successful new-car launches in history. Combining sporty styling, compact dimensions, and a wide range of powertrains, the Mustang appealed to buyers seeking both everyday practicality and V8 performance.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is powered by a C-code 289ci V8 fitted with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and paired with a C4 automatic transmission. This Mustang was refinished in factory Wimbledon White over blue and white upholstery prior to the seller's 2024 acquisition.

The car features an under-dash air-conditioning unit, a digital factory-style head unit with an auxiliary input, and a center console. Service is said to have included replacement of various cooling-system, air-conditioning, fuel-system, and suspension components as well as an application of Fluid Film coating to the undercarriage.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is now offered with a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.
