Vehicle description
1965 Ford Mustang Convertible. Privately owned. The Mustang has undergone a frame on restoration to include a fresh Wimbledon White paint job approximately 4 years along with an Oyster White Pony interior. Mechanically sound with a 289 V8 and automatic transmission. The Mustang has undergone a variety of engine, electronic and suspension upgrades to include but not limited to a new 2-barrel carburetor, radiator, exhaust manifolds, exhaust pipes, water pump, power brake booster, gaskets (valve covers, timing chain, oil pan), belts, solenoid, driveshaft, timing chain, gas tank, spark plugs and spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, and many other upgrades. The brakes have been upgraded to front disc brakes with a power booster and the rear drum brakes have been serviced with new pads and hardware.
The undercarriage remains solid with no rust or wear and has been upgraded with several components including upper and lower control arms, various bushings along with new front and rear shocks. The transmission was recently serviced and new U-joints were installed on the driveshaft. The differential was serviced and the fluid replaced. All rubbers, weather strips and moldings remain. Several interior and exterior chrome accents have been upgraded and all remain shiny with not pitting or wear. The interior is finished in Oyster White Pony and looks amazing.
The dash, door panels and black carpet are in amazing condition and new seat belts and bolts were installed. Includes classic style rubber mats. All door panels have the correct door handles and trimmings. Except for the original factory AM radio, all electronics work to include the front and rear lights, fog lights, turn signals, reverse lights, interior under dash lights, wipers, horn and all dash lights. The power steering system was recently updated to include a new power steering valve and system flush. New styled 14" x 6" wheels were installed along with the correct center cap and new Uniroyal tires were added. The trunk includes a correct style spare tire along with the correct trunk mat and storage bag.
The top is white vinyl and shows minor exterior blemishes but overall remains in solid condition and the rear plastic window remains clear with excellent visibility. The top is manual and easy to open and close. The convertible frame remains solid and operational. A black boot cover is included. Very quiet ride with no noises or rattles.
The engine bay and inner fenders are exceptional and smooth. Both valve covers and air cleaner were recently freshened in correct gold finish. Correct hoses and hose clamps were installed along with all new belts. A new wiper motor was installed and includes factory correct (Fomoco) windshield washer fluid bag. The newly installed 2-barrel carburetor performs extremely well and allows for easy cold start-ups and proper idling. Operates cool with no overheating. The glass throughout the Mustang remains clean and all window mechanisms operate properly.
The paint has a high gloss with a clear and smooth finish. Exceptional body panel alignment with near perfect gaps. The Mustang is garage kept and regularly waxed and maintained. The Mustang is a show winner and recipient of some local awards during my ownership. There is so much more I can say about this Mustang but feel free to ask any questions or contact me to arrange an inspection.
In summary this Mustang was upgraded in a manner to keep it safe and road worthy for family use and enjoyment and that mission was accomplished. This is literally a turn key Mustang that is simply ready to enjoy. The mileage posted is calculated and should be considered exempt as noted on title. Clean Florida title. Privately owned. The Mustang is located in Miami, Florida.
