1965 Ford Mustang Fastback

First released in 1964 the iconic Ford Mustang created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and therefore it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon.

The Mustang was initially offered as either a "notchback' coupe or convertible. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon its cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear design, both its roof and cowl were also lower in comparison. It's with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches as the running horse in the grille, the cut away side detailing and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car people were instantly passionate about

This 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback 289-cu, has recently arrived from Pennsylvania in late 2012. Finished in Wimbledon White with Red Interior the car presents very well indeed and is a lovely example indeed.

The cars last owner in the US was owned by a military officer who was gradually, sympathetically restoring the car. He was forced to sell it due to long periods away from home. On its arrival in to the UK the paintwork received a cut and polish. New brakes front and rear where also fitted on it's arrival and a new fuel tank and exhaust system was recently fitted with the exhaust exiting correctly through the rear valance. Both front Anti - Roll Bar Linkage rubber mountings where also replaced thus improving the handling and over all feel of the vehicle.

Incorporated on the car are factory GT fog lights and original re-furbished Alloys with excellent tyres. The interior is very clean, in good order and benefits from having the carpets replaced and Dyno Mat sound deadening throughout.

A lovely example that has a nice overall patina as a true Mustang should ready for the new owner to enjoy and treasure.
