Built in June 1964, this 1965 Mustang Convertible comes from the earliest chapter of Mustang history. Enthusiasts commonly call cars from this period the 1964 1/2 Mustang, representing the first months of production for Ford's new pony car. Finished in red with a white soft top, this early F-code convertible now benefits from an upgraded 302 V8.
The 302 cubic inch V8 is paired with an automatic transmission, creating an easygoing combination for cruising. Power steering and power brakes add welcome assistance behind the wheel, while a Ford 8-inch rear end with 3.00:1 gears keeps the car comfortable at road speed.
Inside, red vinyl bucket seats continue the classic color combination. A factory-style digital AM/FM/Bluetooth radio provides modern audio while fitting naturally into the vintage dash, and Bosch accessory gauges monitor the mechanicals. Red and white parade boots are also included for top-down outings.
Fourteen-inch factory Mustang wheels with beauty rings wear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, preserving the familiar appearance of a classic Ford Mustang. A full-size spare is stored out back.
Among '65 Mustangs, an early-build convertible carries an interesting connection to the model's introduction. For anyone searching for a classic Mustang for sale, this red '65 Mustang convertible offers a great excuse to lower the top, settle into the bucket seat, and enjoy the simple appeal that made the classic Mustang an American favorite!
