Classic Americana doesn't get much better than a first-year 1965 Ford Mustang dressed in red. And because this V8 hardtop is a true legend in classic car circles, it's great you can get it all for such an affordable price. When the lines are this iconic, you know you need to have a body this straight. The long hood with aggressive overhang; the deep C-channel that runs along the profile; and the sporty three-element taillights that meet form-fitting... chrome bumper â€" it's all what we look for on the coupe that launched the legend. But there is also a little something extra, too. The bold red paint was added later in life. So while the Candy Apple hue still looks as American as apple pie, it has an extra degree of luster that the factory could never deliver back then. The attitude is extra sporty with period-correct pieces like the GT-style dual exhaust and Mag 500 style wheels with redline tires. A crisp black interior is always desirable in a classic, and this one really wants to be a fine place to spend so time. So the seat covers have received the proper investment to remain comfortable, and details like the door panels and carpeting coordinate nicely. Your position in the driver's bucket seat is exactly what you want in a vintage coupe. Your left hand grips the three-spoke steering wheel and your right one rests comfortably on the gearshift. The gauges are crystal clear, and provide the driver with all the necessary information without the added fluff. Even the original-style AM radio is still on display. But your real tunes come from an AM/FM/CD stereo below it so that you can have a vintage atmosphere but the best in modern music. Under the hood, Ford's famous 289 cubic-inch V8 looks extra bold with the bright blue bock, valve covers, and air topper. It inhales deeply from a four-barrel carburetor, and this fires up with the kind of confidence that you'll love in a classic meant for the road. Other great driver's features include the three-speed automatic transmission and power brakes. When an icon like this has added distinction and drivability â€" and it's this affordable â€" you know it makes for an irresistible deal. Call now!
