1965 Ford Mustang Additional Info:

For sale is my 1965 Ford Mustang "Resto-Mod." She's been my baby for years but unfortunately divorce lawyers aren't cheap and it's time to send her to someone else to enjoy for a while.
This Mustang is rather unique from almost every angle. From the grille, to the stereo, to the engine, there is a lot to love here.
I describe this car as a "working man's muscle car." She isn't perfect but she does 3 things very well. She turns heads, she's very very powerful, and she sounds amazing.
I have taken this car to several car shows and she always shows well but as I said, she isn't perfect. There are small scratches and imperfections here and there as well as a few very hard to spot imperfections in the paint.
The 351 Windsor motor is insanely powerful and putting your foot into it from a stop is enough to make anyone sit up and take notice. Paired with the headers and custom exhaust she sounds simply amazing.
You'll notice from the pictures that there is a CD player in the dash as well as some rather large speakers in the car. I believe the previous owner had an amp and sub in the trunk and when he took them out he didn't bother hooking the speakers back up. All the parts are there but I have never tried to wire it back up. I'd rather listed to the engine than music while I'm cruising any day.
I shot a quick video of the car starting, running, and a walkaround. Unfortunately the video doesn't really do the engine justice because the electric fan is pretty loud and my phone really isolated that audio when viewing the engine compartment. You'll also hear the slight whine of the power steering pump. This goes away as soon as the engine fully warms up.https://youtu.be/RSSH-1FYZis
I bought this car mostly as it sits and made a few repairs/changes to it during my ownership. As such, I do not know specific details about how the motor and transmission were built so please don't send me messages about cams, heads, valves, etc. I simply don't have the answer. Here's what I do know:
-Two colored paint job (BMW silver and Chrysler red)-Engine - 351 Windsor-Edelbrock high rise intake-3 speed manual transmission-Quick Fuel Technology 4 barrel carburetor-Oversized Champion 3 core aluminum radiator with automatic electric fan (I added this setup for better cooling)-Power steering-Rebuilt heater box with new heater core (I did this)-High end alarm with door, hood, and tilt detection. The remote will alert you if the alarm has been triggered from over a mile away.
The body work is in near perfect condition with no rust anywhere to be found.
This is a very solid and well running machine but remember that she's 54 years old and as such she has some rattles going down the road. She's a blast to drive and always a crowd pleaser at shows.

The remainder of the cost is due in cash at pickup or through a wire transfer to my bank prior to pickup.-I am willing to help with coordinating shipping if you'd like but it will be 100% at your cost and liability.
