1965 Ford Mustang Convertible A-code V-8

1965 Ford Mustang 2 Door Convertible

It’s getting close to the holidays and what better gift than a classic convertible Mustang.Nothing is like the wind in your hair and the sound of a true muscle car in your ear.This car is a great example of what cruising is all about.Listed below is a snapshot of what I have done to this beautiful car.

General – I am the second owner of this car.I purchased it in 1991 with 38,000 miles and started to restore it.I put in a rebuilt engine and transmission (0 miles) and painted it.It was then garaged, only to be driven about once a year.In 2001, I got serious about restoring it and this is where most of the upgrades have come from.It currently has a complete power steering setup installed; it will come with a complete manual steering setup also, so you can decide which you prefer.I have put approx. 783 miles on the car since 2001.I have invested substantially more in this car than asking price.I have left out many items that have been fixed or replaced for length sake, however, nearly everything in it or on it has been replaced.It is a blast to drive and gets lots of looks.

Engine – Rebuilt 302 and C-4 automatic (approx. 783 miles); Edelbrock carb., cam and intake; Mallory Unilite distributor; Canton windage tray and oil pan; Carter fuel pump; new 3 core radiator with electric fan; Hedman ceramic shorty hedders connected to 2 ½ inch aluminized exhaust pipes with Flowmaster delta flow mufflers.

Chassis – Power steering with rebuilt pump, reaction valve and cylinder.All new tie rods and upper and lower control arms.Power front disc brakes; 1 1/8 inch front sway bar, 7/8 inch rear sway bar.620 lb. front coil springs (which lowers front 1 inch), 5 leaf mid-eye rear springs (which lowers rear 1 inch); rebuilt 8 inch 3:55 open rearend; KYB shocks.Both driver and passenger side front and rear floor pans replaced.

Interior – New dash, speedometer and bezel; original Rally-Pac (clock works occasionally); original full length center console; Mach 1 seats (seats are black cloth and velvet); wood steering wheel; new convertible top and carpet; aftermarket AM/FM/MP3 radio (still have original, if wanted).

Exterior – Paint is a candy apple red put on in 1991 when I first started this project, so there are some rock and accidental chips.The hood and side scoops are added on, this is not a Shelby car, the hood scoop is functional and the sides are not.The underside is undercoated.

Wheels – Edelbrock 454s polished 17x8 with 225/45R-17 tires.

It is a shame to see it sitting in my garage not being driven, which is why I have decided to sell it.The car looks good in pictures, but you must see and hear it in person to really get the true beauty.

If you have any questions or want more pictures don’t hesitate to e-mail me and I will answer them promptly.

Thank you.
