1965 Ford Mustang Restomod
Car has been family owned since 1993 and was rebuilt in 2010. I built this car because it was my mothers. When passed away, I remembered how for years she always said how she wanted it restored, so in her memory I did just that. This car was a great project and has since been a hell of a ride, but my sister and I are moving and sadly it has to go. It is a daily driver and a long distance driver. I state this because during my move from Portland, OR to Taos, NM I drove this car and it did great the entire trip with no issues. It was hardly driven in Portland and for the 2 years that I've lived in Taos, I'd drive it a little bit more, but the town here is so small I never really had to and mostly rode my bike. Recently, I have moved from Taos, NM back to Wichita, KS for a short stint and drove the Mustang. It did fantastic the entire time as expected!
Here's all that was done to it upon rebuild:
- Everything was removed, car was stripped down to bare metal, POR-15 all along the bottom
- Installed new driver and passenger side floorboards
- Placed in a rebuilt 302 V8 which only has 4-6,000 miles on it maybe and still has the Fomoco 2 barrel carb
- New aluminum radiator
- Installed front disc brakes from a '68 Mustang.
- Cleaned up and installed original console and air conditioner
- Placed it new interior inside car and trunk as well as installed a new dash, door panels, carpet, front seat and back seat covers and headliner
- Installed exterior oil & temp gauges underneath air conditioner
- New rubber lining and felts for windows
- New Mustang door plates and front kicker panels
- Installed new brake lines and gave it new American Racing aluminum wheels along with 30,000 mile Ventus HRII tires (only have 4-6,000 miles on them as well and tread is still excellent) (215 50R 16's on front and 225 50R 16's on rear)
- Installed a new gas tank
- Placed new shackles for leaf springs
- Installed green LEDs inside instrument panel and LED intermittent lights for the rear blinkers
- Painted the car with base coat/clear coat C3P0 color
- New hood (not fiberglass)
- Kept the manual steering
- Gaps for doors, hood, and trunk were meticulously placed to make sure all gaps were straight and even (you would've thought we were OCD about it)
- Installed a Custom Sound USA-230 AM/FM player with an MP3 hookup (auxillary wire sits in ashtray for easy hookup to ipod/mp3 module)
- Installed used speakers with new Eclipse speaker covers (speakers sound great and can get loud)
- New Mustang side emblems
- New chrome valve covers
- New Grant wood steering wheel
- New rear and front bumper
- New front splash shield/rock guard
- All original glass still in place except front windshield which is new
Now here's the bad:
- Minor chip in windshield above passenger side wiper (pretty deep and will need to be fixed)
- Some rock chips on the paint from driving it, but have been covered by C3P0 touch-up paint
- Paint could probably use a good buffing
- Driver side seat cover is starting to show a gap between one of the seams where you place your back
- Center piece of Grant wood steering wheel (Mustang emblem) doesn't stay on all the time and sometimes pops off
- Rear passenger quarter window has to be slightly pulled up when closing window
- One of the bearings in the air conditioner clutch is bad (other than that, the A/C is top notch! just don't have time to fix it due to the move)
Even with these nitches, car is mechanically sound and title is free and clear!!!
After project was finished, car got appraised at $17,500 Here's the document that was placed by Charles Carver of Pride Autoplaza:
This is a nice appearing freshly restored Mustang that can serve the dual purpose of being a show worthy car but also a car that could be practical to use as a daily driver. Its strong features include its good history and its good planning and workmanship resulting in a very appealing and attractive finished product. Factors that limit the cars value are its non originality. Based on this information, I would place this 1965 Ford Mustang 2 Door Coupe is Fair Market Value at $17,500.00.
Car comes with extras along with appraisal paperwork if you want it.
Extras with the car:
- Front bumper guards and clips (never installed bumper guards cause I liked the look without them)
- Chilton manual
- Original valve covers
- Outer passenger side door & an inner door handle
- Bunches of glass fuses for the fuse box
- Blue enamel paint I used for the motor (and yes it still sprays good)
And Last But Certainly Not Least:
There is a reserve price for this item. However if the reserve isn't met at the end of the ad, I will personally e-mail the last/highest bidder if it's close to the reserve and work with you on the price so that we can find a happy median. Now since I am doing this, I will not inform you what the reserve price is so don't bother asking. If you have any other questions though, please don't hesitate to ask. And if you're serious about the ad, please keep checking the description every so often.

Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.

Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
