Equipment
289/210hp, 4-speed, centerlock style wheels, black vinyl boot cover, power brakes, later JVC cassette stereo.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Good older replacement top. Decent chrome. Older budget respray with a few runs around the grille. Dull brightwork. The rocker trim isn't flush. Dull, faded original dash. The rest of the interior was restored, but there is lots of orange peel on the inside of the doors and quick budget undercoating on the frame. Clean engine bay. A basic driver quality '65 Mustang convertible.
Market commentary
This car's lackluster presentation really didn't do it any favors in an auction with several other and better first generation Mustangs. The buyer should be happy, though, having won the car at a price that leaves money for needed cosmetic work. As for the seller, the car was offered with reserve so the decision to accept this bid must also reflect the seller's opinion of its value.
