1965 Ford Mustang 1st Gen 1964 to 1966

This early Ford Mustang 289 Hardtop is a quintessential American classic, which benefits from a comprehensive rotisserie restoration in 2016. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 289-cubic inch (4.7-litre) V8, driving the rear wheels via a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. This example was manufactured in Dearborn, Michigan, and was later imported to Australia, where it passed compliance and was first registered in March 2024. The odometer indicates 27,777 Miles, though this is not warranted. This early ‘1965’ model-year Mustang Hardtop was originally specified with an optional ‘F’ code 260-cubic inch V8. This example is finished in the stylish shade of Raven Black, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, punctuated by silver and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 15-inch Rallye alloy wheels fitted with Coker Classic redline tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, a three-spoke steering wheel, a Ford-branded push-button radio, push-out front quarter light windows, and an air conditioning system. This example has been enhanced with a brand-new power steering system, front disc brakes, a phone holder, and an easily removable Carpuride media system with Bluetooth-enabled satellite navigation and a reversing camera. The car is accompanied by its original US title, as well as one ignition key, a separate door key, and a boot key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a full body respray in its original colour was carried out in 2016. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted in May 2025, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass. This Mustang’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in February 2025 at an indicated 27,500 miles, including an engine oil and filter change using Ford parts, carried out by the owner. In the same month, a USA Pony power steering kit and new front disc brakes were installed. Regular bi-annual engine oil and filter changes are reported to have been performed under the current ownership. This Ford Mustang 289 Hardtop is a stylish early example of the iconic American pony car, offered in its original colour combination and enhanced by an extensive rotisserie-style restoration. Equipped with modern driving upgrades including power steering and front disc brakes, it combines classic aesthetics with usability, and would make a rewarding companion for weekend drives, local shows, or classic American car events.
