1965 Ford Mustang for sale in Charlotte, North Carolina

$19,595

According to the door tag, this 1965 Mustang hits all the right buttons: a bright red Mustang convertible, 289 power, and a presentable older restoration. If youve been waiting for the right one to show up, here it is. According to the door tag, this is a code J Rangoon Red convertible, which is how it was restored several years ago. The honest, straightforward lines of the 1965 Mustang always look best in red, making it look as quick and agile as it actually is. The finish is holding up well, although who can blame the owner for driving and enjoying the car? Its still a great cruiser that will draw an appreciative crowd at the local cruise night, and the tidy bodywork was clearly done with a lot of TLC, but is just now starting to show some age. However, the good news is that theres plenty of paint here, and once you find an available weekend, a simple buff and polish would do wonders. The finish has a soft gloss that looks far more appropriate than fresh urethane might, and when most folks think of early Mustangs, they picture a car that fits as well as jeans and a T-shirt. This one matches that description perfectly-comfortable, casual, and ready to have fun. The interior was originally code 26 black crinkle vinyl, but during the restoration was upgraded with an optional Pony interior that offers embossed seat covers and nicely detailed pleats on the seating surfaces. The workmanship is first rate, and the seat covers fit snugly without any wrinkles, the carpets are new, and the center console has a cool garage door storage compartment typically found on later models. The stock gauges give you a fairly comprehensive view of the engines condition, and the owner has upgraded the sound system to a newer AM/FM/cassette unit that neatly tucks into the original radios location. The black vinyl top uses a plastic rear window, and a matching boot tidies up the lines. In the trunk, youll find a correct mat as well as a full-sized spare tire with cover. Theres no way to determine matching numbers in an early Mustang, simply because Ford didnt use correlating numbers, but we can confidently say that it is a correct C code 289. Dressed in bright corporate Ford Blue, it still wears a correct air cleaner assembly with 289 decals, stamped steel valve covers, and its original cast iron exhaust manifolds. Power steering is a nice option, even on a relatively light car like the Mustang, and makes it a pleasure to drive around town or out on the open road. The floors are solid, the C4 automatic shifts crisply, and out back theres a set of highway-friendly 3.00 gears. The floors are solid, the brakes are firm, and it rides on original 14-inch steel wheels with hubcaps and a set of whitewall radials with plenty of life left in them. You can pay more for a perfect Mustang, but then you might be afraid to drive it. This one is ideal for cruising and will draw all the same envious glances. Clean, reliable, and honest, this is the Mustang to own. Call today!
