1965 Ford Mustang Coupe -- Hi Po Muscle Car, 289 V-8 Wimbledon White This a heavily customized '65 Mustang for the discerning muscle car enthusiast, and I want it to have a good home. I've owned it for 28 years and kept it garaged for nearly all of that time. Up on blocks under a car cover for most of the last 15 years, then brought it out and reconditioned it this year ( $4900 in upgrades/repairs in the last few months! Have receipts to prove it. ) -- I'm sad to part with this pony but happy to give the lucky buyer a fantastic value. Happy New Year sacrifice price! SPECIAL NOTE to BUYERS: I have the title and it is completely clear.

From 1993 till present I have garaged it and driven it very little. Restoration/Upgrades resumed this year, well over $4K on the following: rebuilt Holly 650 Double-Pumper carb, engine & fuel system flush, rebuilt pedal assembly, new Hurst shifter, gear box adjust, rebuilt front brakes, new fuel tank, new headliner and reupholstered visors, seats repaired (NOTE: front seats are custom Cobeau seats which could use reupholstering -- ask me about great options for getting this done!). Receipts to prove all of the above. Garaged and car-covered for most of the last 28 years. Rear bench seat is original. Any reasonable offer considered. Payment Terms: PayPal, major Credit Cards, personal or biz check; sorry, NO CASHIERS CHECK -- NO MONEY ORDER. Vehicle runs great! Like all high-performance cars, this pony needs TLC. Luckily, parts and service are easy to come by, and it's an easy car to work on! Sold as is. Thanks and happy bidding!
