1965 Ford Mustang Restored 5 Speed Great Driver on 2040-cars

Up for consideration is a very nice restored 1965 Ford Mustang. Factory C code V8 that originally came with a 3 speed transmission. (Now has a really nice T-5 Tremec 5 speed) Tons spent on new parts and labor to get this beauty to the condition it is in. You could not build one for the price of this car for sure!

I have recently acquired this beautiful car and I am not a Mustang expert, but I will do my best to get you the best pictures along with a detailed list of new items used during the restoration of this Mustang.  I will let all the pictures and as well as the obvious hard work put into this car speak for itself. Please ask if you have any questions at all.  If you are interested in the car I highly recommend contacting me and I would be happy to tell you what I know and answer your questions. Please make sure you read my terms and conditions and this will be a great experience for both of us. 

This is a very nice car that is done and ready to enjoy and drive. If you want to take it to another level I am sure that you can find things to do to it. That being said, I am not asking 15k for it. I have a very reasonable reserve and I will sell it. I am open to a " Buy it Now" it you want it. Just contact me and we can figure it out.

Please do not bid if you do not have the cash funds to follow through.

 I am an easy person to deal with and my # is 503-729-4392

 

The car is for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end auction if it sells here. If you want the car contact me. I am very easy to work with and I will be happy to assist you in getting a Mustang.

 

  I will give you a description of the car as I see it;

SEE PHOTOS BELOW!!

 

Engine:

When you open the hood of this car the engine looks fantastic! It is very clean and detailed. It runs as good as it looks. It has many brand new parts and is in near perfect condition. It sounds great and does not seem to have any leaks at all or make any weird noise or smoke.  I am not claiming that it is rebuilt as I do not know, but it has been out and detailed like one would see from a nice rebuilder. The engine bay is very clean and tidy. (Please see all photos and ask if you would like more) New fuel tank installed!

Transmission:

This is where this Mustang has an advantage over most. This car has had the T-5 upgrade to a Rebuilt Tremec 5 speed from a 1993 GT Mustang. I took it to a transmission shop next to my work and they tell me that it was professionally done and it must have cost a significant amount to have completed. The car runs out perfect and shifts nice. The car is a factory 3 speed, you can tell by looking at the tag that came off the door.

Rear End:

The Mustang has a factory 8 inch rear end with a rebuilt unit that has 3:55 gears. The car will come with the factory original gear set.

Suspension:

This Mustang has had all the suspension upgraded using all new components. It has the “Grab a Track” spring and handling kit on the front and rear of the car along with “Grab a Track” shocks. The front steer linkage is all new also using “Grab a Track rebuild kit. This is a manual steering car. The steering wheel is new but smaller. I would change it to a bigger one.

Brakes:

The Mustang has all new brakes. In the front it has SSBC 4 piston disc brakes using all new parts. It has a new master cylinder w/ adj proportional valve all the way to new calipers and rotors. The rear drum brakes are also new. The park brake does "Not" work, not sure why it is all there an looks like new. The front brake system was an upgrade that cost $699.00

Interior:

It is hard to say what the best part of this car is, but I would have to say it could be the interior. It is the Pony Deluxe with all new parts. I do not think that anything was left to chance when they did the interior. It is Excellent!!  Everything inside this car looks new, with very little wear. The entire heater/vent system was replaced/restored and works great. All the gauges and lights seem to work. It has a nice matching console that looks cool. It has a decent stereo system with I pod hook up. (Still looks factory)

Body & Paint:

While this Mustang is very straight and looks fantastic, I would have to say that the paint job could have been a bit better. If you look you can see where there might have been a little better attention to the prep of the car. While it is a fairly recent job, there are some nicks and a few scratches on it. I would definitely say it is a very nice driver quality job, and you don’t have to be afraid of damaging an $8,000 paint job. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very straight car with nice sheet metal. I had a friend that knows Mustangs and owns a shop take a look at it and he told me that it is “a solid car that is worth the asking price all day long” After a close inspection they told me that there was only 2 signs of any previous damage. Under the driver’s seat there was some rust repair and the rear driver’s quarter had been fixed at one time. That is it.

The glass is in good original condition, the only thing I would do is put in a new windshield, it has several scratches and one rock chip. All the windows roll up well. And all the weather strip and felt is new.

 

Exhaust:

Exhaust is new and it goes out the back through a new GT lower valance panel with trumpet tips.

 

Tires and Wheels:

New Grand Am tires with American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. The rear Wheels are Brand New! The front tires are 205/60/15 and the rear tires are 235/60/15

 

Drivability:

The car runs and drives excellent! Starts every time without hesitation, runs strong and shifts great!  With the transmission and overdrive (5^th gear) it runs at about 1700 rpm at 65 mph.

 

 

Overall a better than average Mustang and a very decent restoration! A lot of time and money went into this car.
