Description of 1965 Ford Mustang GT

Ever wanted to be the proud owner of a piece of Americana?
Here's your chance!
This is the iconic American muscle car - a 1965 Mustang GT convertible in Poppy Red. Introduced in April 1965, he Mustang GT was only made for 4 months before the model year changed. VERY limited production, nd very few survivors 50 years later. Equipped like this one (a Poppy Red convertible with 4-speed manual transmission), here is only a very small number of survivors (by many estimates, 00-200) out there, nd they seldom hit the market. This car turns heads and draws ooohhhhs and aaaahhhhs wherever she goes!
Here's what you get:

ORIGINAL factory-built GT (NOT a GT "clone")
ORIGINAL 289 cubic inch V8, 25 horsepower
ORIGINAL 4-speed manual transmission (Borg Warner T-10)
ORIGINAL Autolite 4100 4-barrel carburetor
ORIGINAL mileage of 126,000
ORIGINAL Rally Pac gauges (tachometer and clock)
ORIGINAL Ford pushbutton AM radio
ORIGINAL fog lights
Like-new convertible top
Fully functional instrument panel (including ORIGINAL clock)
Chrome-tipped dual trumpets exhaust
3.89 locking rear end
Styled steel wheels
Black interior and black convertible top
Front disk brakes
"Correct" 6.95x14 white-walled 4-ply nylon tires
One of the last ones made - assembly date July 27, 965

Every factory GT-identifier characteristic is here:

Front fog lights factory wiring harness (rear lights come on when the fog light switch is turned on)
'A' code engine
Tight ratio HCC AX steering box
Front non-power disc brakes, ear drums
Dual exhaust pipes run through rear valance, nds in trumpet tips
GT badges and stripe
Five-dial instrument cluster
GT badge and stripes
Handling package with larger diameter sway bar, eavy duty front coil and rear leaf springs.
Oversize master cylinder with a clip on cap and correct proportioning valve
Kelsey Hayes piston front brakes
Clean, actory round cut along dash bottom to accommodate correct round speedometer
Ammeter gauge does not have the two posts sticking out of the back of it
Small metal backings for dual exhaust hangers and reinforced floor pan sheet metal area under the seat back
Reinforced tubular bar inside the holes in trunk.
Correctly-routed rear brake lines

This is a pristine, rue-to-its-origin specimen of a hard-to-find American classic. The ONLY "modernizations":

Electronic ignition
GPS anti-theft system
HumpHugger console
