THE 1965 MUSTANG The Mustang was introduced at the 1965 New York World's Fair, Mustang Mania instantly swept the country, and a new automotive market segment was created. The Mustang was a compact, tight, clean package weighing in at a modest 2,550 pounds - a departure from the ever-enlarging American cars of the day. The classic long-hood short-rear-deck combined with a forward-leaning grille, elegant blade bumpers, sculptured body sides, fully exposed wheel openings and restrained use of bright trim gave the car a unique look that belied its affordability. Its looks were backed up with power. Options included automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, styled chrome wheels and air conditioning. Not surprisingly, the entry-level modes were a minority of the production. To say that the first Mustang was a success is an understatement. Following its introduction, the Mustang was on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. A week before introduction, Ford ran ads with the air times for the first television commercials, which all three networks broadcasted simultaneously. Mustang was selected as the Official Pace Car for the 1964 Indianapolis 500, and more than 22,000 orders were taken the first day. By its first anniversary, over 418,000 Mustangs had been sold, breaking the all-time record for first year sales of a new nameplate. The original platform was used, with numerous modifications, up to 1973. On the track, the Mustang name was quickly establishing itself in many motorsports arenas. In 1965, Mustang assumed the role as Ford's rally car. Carroll Shelby, famed builder of the Cobra, created race-ready cars for SCCA's production class B competition against the likes of Chevrolet's Corvette and the Jaguar E-Type. Shelby's goal was accomplished when the GT 350 took the B-Production Championship from Corvette. Shelby Mustangs were also successful in the world of drag racing. Ford campaigned several highly modified A/FX altered Mustangs equipped with 427 'Cammer' motors in National Hot Rod Association drag racing events.

Vehicle Condition: THIS 1965 MUSTANG HAS BEEN LOVINGLY CARED FOR SINCE NEW. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, AND IS IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION THROUGHOUT. THIS MUSTANG IS A REAL PLEASURE TO DRIVE. THE V-8 ENGINE PROVIDES SMOOTH AND POWERFUL ACCELERATION AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PROPERLY. This Mustang is 46 years old, so some signs of age are to be expected! The car has been repainted once. The paint still shows the original orange peal as it was never color sanded. There are some touch ups. The exterior chrome and trim are all in excellent condition. There is a wiper arch on both sides of the windshield , but it appears to only be on the surface and I do believe that they can be polished out. The interior is in very good condition. The padded dash was replaced, as were the seat covers, door panels, carpet and door sills. The original steering wheel was replaced with a custom wood wheel and looks like new. To the best of my knowledge, this Mustang needs nothing mechanically. Cosmetically, I would call this Mustang an excellent driver that is mostly all original with one repaint. This is a very nice correct California Black License Plate Mustang. Note that the mileage listed above is the odometer reading and is not the total mileage on the vehicle.
