This 1965 Ford Mustang convertible cuts a striking figure in Honey Gold, a rare one-year-only hue that perfectly captures the pony car's youthful spirit. The sleek bodywork sparkles under the sun, its clean lines accentuated by a white pinstripe that ties in seamlessly with the crisp white vinyl top. Rolling on 14-inch wheels wrapped in 205/75R14 tires, this Mustang's stance is pure '60s cool. The body-colored wheel covers add a touch of class, while the chrome bumpers and trim gleam like jewelry against the golden paintwork.
Open the door, and you're greeted by a harmonious blend of Ivy, Gold, and white in the deluxe "pony" interior. The bucket seats, wrapped in vinyl, offer comfort and period-correct style. A floor-mounted shifter for the C4 3-speed automatic transmission rises from the center console, ready for action. The dashboard houses the classic twin-pod instrument cluster, now upgraded with GT-style gauges for improved readability. An AM radio, fully functional, stands ready to play the hits of '65. The white convertible boot matches the exterior trim, creating a cohesive look when the top is down.
Lift the hood to reveal the 289 cubic inch V8 engine, a powerplant that defines American muscle. This V8 is paired with a single 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a potent mix of power and drivability. The engine bay maintains a factory-fresh appearance, with correct decals adding authenticity. Underneath, a dual exhaust system with aftermarket mufflers provides a muscular soundtrack. The front disc brake upgrade ensures modern stopping power, while power steering makes navigating this classic a breeze. With its 2.80:1 rear axle ratio, this Mustang is equally at home cruising the boulevard or hitting the highway.
