Description

Vehicle Specs

This 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback C-Code represents one of the most desirable body styles of the first-generation Mustang, combining timeless fastback design with tasteful presentation and documented care. Finished in Raven Black with striking red GT stripes, this Mustang delivers the aggressive, performance-oriented look enthusiasts expect while maintaining an honest, well-preserved character that reflects its history and proper restoration.

Power comes from a 289 cubic inch V8 paired with an automatic C4 transmission, offering smooth, reliable performance that makes the car enjoyable both on the road and at shows. The addition of GT equipment enhances the overall presence, complemented by dual exhaust that gives the car a proper V8 sound without being overbearing. A 2.80:1 rear end provides relaxed cruising, while the rear-wheel-drive layout keeps the classic Mustang driving experience intact.

The iconic 2+2 fastback body style is a standout feature, further enhanced by steel styled wheels wrapped in double redline bias-ply tires that perfectly suit the car's mid-1960s character. Independent front suspension and a rear leaf spring setup provide a balanced ride, while front and rear drum brakes remain correct to the era. The car sits with a confident stance and presents extremely well, with only minor flaws noted and documented in the photos.

Inside, the black crinkle vinyl interior maintains a clean, classic appearance and pairs beautifully with the exterior color scheme. The fold-down rear seats, a hallmark of the 2+2 fastback, add both visual appeal and practicality, making the interior feel open and versatile. Red oxide floorboards are visible underneath, highlighting the solid condition of the structure and reinforcing the quality of the restoration work.

This Mustang was garage stored from 1980 until its restoration in 2016, a fact that shows in its overall condition and preservation. The presence of the buck tag, door warranty tag, and matching inner fender VIN further adds to the car's credibility and desirability for collectors who value documentation and authenticity. These details confirm the car's identity and provide confidence in its originality and proper care over the years.

Showing excellent overall with only minor imperfections, this 1965 Mustang Fastback strikes an ideal balance between collector appeal and real-world enjoyment. It offers the unmistakable look of a first-generation fastback, the sound and feel of a V8, and the reassurance of a well-documented history. Whether added to a collection or enjoyed on weekend drives, this Mustang delivers the classic American performance image that made the model an icon and continues to define the era.
