1965 Ford Mustang convertible
Early 1965 GT 350 clone tribute convertible Mustang.
Homeimprovements force the auction of this really nice Mustang. This was to be the car I would keep forever, but priorities change. So, up for auction is my 1965 Mustang convertible that has had a rotisserie restoration. The following work has been done.
The complete removal of all rust and the replacement of the following body parts:
·Rear frame extensions, all 4 torque boxes
·Rear wheel wells
·Complete rocker assemblies
·Complete floor pan
·Full rear quarter panels
·Front fenders, doors, hood, trunk lid, rear valance with exhaust ports, and a front Gt fiberglass valance.
·A functional steel roll bar that is tied into the torque boxes which allows for a three- point shoulder seat belt.
·Rear tail lights are from a 1965 Thunderbird and are frenched in.They are notsequential, but could be.
All welding and fabricating were done by a respected fabricator.
The interior is from TMI. It incorporates the sport front seats that gives you more support.The interior is finished in a custom Red and white pony interior. There is a custom TMI trunk kit as well. New molded carpet and firewall pad are installed. There is extra interior red material. The rear quarter window crank handles are extended toaccommodate the roll bar, and could use some more work.

The Convertible top frame was re-furbished and a new white top installed. It could use some adjusting with the windows.

The windshield has new tinted glass. The doors, and quarter windows are original. There is a small etching on the lower driver door window by the lock. The window door actuators are new, and the windows may need a little adjusting. They are tight due to the new window channel.
Mechanically the engine was professionally rebuilt by a respected engine builder. The previous owner had put about 2,000 miles on it.The rebuild was done years ago when the ownerdecided to restore the rest of the car. The car then sat for many years. It has recently had a new alternator, water pump, sending units for the oil and temperature.The gaskets were also changed.
The clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing have all been replaced. The drive shaft has been checked and has new universal joints installed. The clutch will need some miles to seat it completely.
