The 1965 Ford Mustang marked the first full production year of Ford’s revolutionary pony car. Introduced in April 1964 as a ’65 model, the Mustang created an entirely new market segment — affordable, sporty cars with long hoods and short decks. Built on the compact Falcon platform, the Mustang featured a wide range of options, both aesthetically and mechanically.

This ’65 Hardtop Coupe was built at Ford's San Jose, California, assembly plant and is finished in Tropical Turquoise with black vinyl seats and door trim, and black carpet. It is powered by a 289ci V8 engine mated to a three-speed manual transmission. Additional features include steel wheels with wheel covers, drum brakes, and front bucket seats. The car has an aftermarket steering wheel and a JVC head unit with CD player.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean New Jersey title.
