Floor was patched on both passenger and driver side but done well. Some work was done to the lower quarters. The suspension appears pretty much stock.

This car was an original "T" code car but was converted to a V8 car. Does have five lug wheels all around and has a newer dual exhaust set up. This is a complete conversion. The springs were changed, the rear end was changed, bushings were changed and spindles were changed. Had conversion checked out by local Mustang shop. Standard 8" rear end. 4 speed manual transmission and clutch shifts as it should. Car is a pleasure to drive, it sounds great and is very quick. WHEELS AND BRAKES14" wheels. Tires are in great shape. 4 wheel drum brakes that operate properly. UNDERCARRIAGEThe underside has surface rust and signs of floor repairs. The other components appear in good condition and original. The engine compartment is pretty tidy and should detail nicely. No signs of any leaks despite the car has been sitting according top the previous owner. The convertible top is like new and the rear window is plastic and very clear. Not fogged up. Comes with a black boot and a bag for the boot. There is some pitting on the chrome trim that the boot snaps to but not rusted. The Mustang is an iconic car and the red '65 Mustang convertible is one of the most iconic cars of all time. I hate the expression "turn key" but this is a good dependable higher end daily driver that can be upgraded as you cruise it. Its gonna turn heads and look good at the cruise-ins.
