Magnum Mustang FM (Ford Mustang) 1965 beautiful head turning Mustang Convertible, 289, automatic, PONY Interior, Rangoon Red with White top and an eight-track radio with clean title. I am pleased but saddened about this offering for your bidding pleasure of a winner of an American made icon that made Ford what it is today. You are viewing a classic that brought me special memories that I must now forfeit and share with someone who can give it meaningful TLC. Magnum is my personal name I gave to this car as Sally was too silly for me. 1965 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLES are very much in demand, especially those with a 289, Pony interior, and “eight track” radio (ha ha). Not in competitive show quality but looking for someone that can double its value. Properly restored Mustangs the levels of a high grade of three or a two, could sell for, or be worth in the high 20's to mid 30's. This is my stimulus package to the winning bidder: Out of work, buy this, make it look prettier, and make some cash. This head turner looks, runs, drives great everywhere she goes. The classic Pony interior provides you the nostalgia of an American built car that turned Ford around to a special era which is where we need to go now. 1965 Mustangs were built solid which is why this car is a classic and I named her Magnum Mustang FM. Offered as a driving full throttle cruiser, you will want to slow down for your ego as this car turns heads everywhere it goes. The stylish structure with the top down is a crowd pleaser. The 289 V-8 engine is powerful and mated to a smooth-shifting 3speed automatic transmission. Unfortunately does not have Power steering. The Pony interior is in great condition for the comfort for the ride of your life in a classic car built in America 44 years ago. If you want to live in this Time, the Time is right for you to adopt Magnum Mustang FM. 1965 was a culture of muscle and love the winning bidder gets to relive this.

Features and inspection of the car: MY INSPECTION RESULTS OF THE CAR: BODY: Some of the car was repaired with bondo by the previous owner No there are no dents Doors close solidly with proper gaps The wheel wells are in good condition No visible rust The trunk looks good and has no dead GM body parts. PAINT: Painted Rangoon by amateur although seller told me he paid 3k. Body tech could repair areas of bondo easily, and repaint properly Has some runs from over painting in two areas, Paint finish shines with some minor blemishes and a few minor bubbles. It does have some nicks here and there from daily use Chipped in a couple of locations, Hood chip from misalignment Show signs of poor previous repair Antenna has been removed to place cover but is still connected CONVERTIBLE TOP: In Good shape other than the chipmunk evidence Rear plastic window in good shape The steel frame and bows are solid and move freely. The power motors and hydraulics are in good condition and work smoothly. CHROME & STAINLESS: In good condition and may need a little updating Wheels are in good condition with plenty of thread on the tires Chrome on windows and windshield frames in good condition. INTERIOR: Seats are in a exceptional condition for their age Seats are free from cracks, tears, rips, cuts, or weather. Seats feel firm and comfortable Door panels, kick panels, rear seat side panels, and dash pad are in good condition with a little scratches and wear and tear. Carpet is Red and in good condition Brake, clutch, and accelerator pads worn but functionally sound. ENGINE: Ford engineered American made 289 Engine No smoke, no knocking, ticking Runs & starts great Mileage is unknown and unverified, probably on second cycle Engine Compartment was relatively clean and painted when purchased Sheet metal appears to be in good condition paint may have covered rust The drive train leaks has very minimal leak. Drive train functioning well. ELECTRICAL: New Battery, New Starter, New Cable All lights, switches, relays, work (instrument panel gauges not accurate) The rest work fine and look good Eight track player with Radio Gauges did not work when purchased, but drove the car from OH to VA. CHASSIS / SUSPENSION: Drives and handles very nicely with no shimmy, wandering, or vibrations. There is no visible or unusual rust on any of the underside sheet metal Underside should be under-coated TRANSMISSION: Three speed cruise-o-matic transmission shifts smoothly with no noises. Turn offs You can overcome Convertible top needs replacement as my ex-pet chipmunk ate through it and there are several holes in the top even though you will probably drive with the top down. Can be replaced From $325- 526 The paint needs refreshing as there are some bubbling to the paint. Does not need it for casual driving but for show will need it. Weather stripping of the windows should be replaced when you have the top redone. About $125 for the replacement. Instrument panel gauges Functioning. Windshield is a little gritty. The eight track radio has to go. How to Steal this car: This is a clean 1965 Mustang Convertible that does need a little minor TLC attention for show but an excellent head turner for daily and fun drives. It looks, runs, and drives like a powerful V8 engine did in 65 and is as good as it looks. A perfect summer cruiser, it would make anyone very proud to be behind the wheel. This desirable car has a very strong 289 V8, which runs and starts perfectly that will make it wonderful to own. There is plenty of room for someone to profit by doing the small necessities to bring it to show. Don’t let this one get away, bid.
