Description of 1965 Ford Mustang --

One of the best restored Mustangs in the country! I know that is a mighty tall claim but I feel comfortable saying that about this one. Incredible! The condition of this car will amaze you. Taken down to a bare shell and meticulously restored over 3 years to be better then new. Yes, better. They did not look this good in 1965. Less then 50 miles since finished. EXTERIOR: Gorgeous. Real Vintage Burgundy car but a more vibrant modern burgundy... was used with a clearcoat finish. It looks like you could dive right in, polished smooth as glass. The body is flawless, laser beam straight and fits like a new Mercedes. The gaps are right on, doors shut with one finger. Every single piece of exterior chrome and trim has been replaced- the emblems, bumpers, bezels, antenna, mirrors, handles, tail lights, gas cap etc. The stainless trim around the windshield is all new, the wiper arms are even polished. Has a new windshield and gasket. New fuzzy window seals. Door jambs are meticulously painted and detailed. Has new weatherstrips and sill plates. New black convertible power top. Dressed up real nice with a set of 14 inch GT chrome wheels and BFG radial tires. Also has the GT stripe running along each side. INTERIOR: The interior is also immaculate. The crisp white upholstery isn't even dusty yet. The cushions are all new even the seat springs have been repainted! Dash area is all pristine. The white steering wheel is smooth as glass, chrome horn ring is new. The handles, cranks, knobs, bezels are all new shiny chrome. It does have seat belts in the front. New reproduction pony floor mats. Dash pad, visors, mirror are new. Has a retro stereo neatly installed in the factory hole. The four speed shifter is the correct type with reverse lockout and original knob. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely rebuilt 289 motor runs perfectly. Every single component is meticulously restored and detailed. The paint on the engine is a hard gloss black. Correct air cleaner and valve covers were restored like new. The engine bay is perfectly clean, smooth metal with a satin finish black. Under the hood and the jambs are painted as slick as the exterior. The wiring, fuel pump, belts, hoses, alternator are new. Carburetor was sent out and professionally restored. Has an Autolite battery topper, correct washer bag. Has Monte Carlo support bar. It's pristine. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Trunk compartment is also meticulously restored. The paint is just as slick as the outside. Has plaid rubber mat. The weatherstrip is new. It has a new matching GT rim still in the box with the hardware to bolt it down. New well liner. Detailed latches, wiring, hardware etc. UNDERSIDE: You guessed it, pristine underneath too. Perfectly clean metal neatly painted satin black. Completely rebuilt, correct 4 speed trans. Completely rebuilt rear end, 3.00:1 ratio. All new brake system. New fuel system. New dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers. Front steering is completely rebuilt. All new suspension. You could eat off the bottom but wouldn't want to get the car dirty! Not only does this car have incredible fit and finish, it was also completely rebuilt and functions like a new car too. If you only want the best......here it is!
