Seller's Notes

This Ford Mustang GT 289 Hardtop is a well-presented example of the iconic classic ‘pony car’, benefitting from a programme of restoration and enhancement work, including a convenient right-hand-drive conversion. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 289-cubic inch (4.7-litre) V8, which sends power to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. First registered in Memphis in 1965, the Mustang was subsequently imported to Australia in 2010 and is now offered for sale in Queensland. Over the last decade, it has been the subject of a programme of restoration which has included a respray, rebuilt engine and transmission, an interior retrim, a right-hand-drive conversion, and the fitment of a large collection of new parts. The five-digit odometer shows an indicated 7,973 miles, though the true mileage is not known. The Ford Mustang GT 289 Hardtop is finished in Red with contrasting white ‘Cobra stripes’ and GT side stripes, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior punctuated by wood trim inlays and chrome accents. It rides on recently fitted 17-inch chrome-effect alloy wheels with Davanti Protourer Sport tyres, housing front disc brakes. Equipment includes a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, heating and ventilation controls, front and rear winding windows, opening quarter lights, front lap belts and a five-dial sports instrument binnacle. This example is fitted with a retro-styled pushbutton radio with Bluetooth connectivity, embroidered Mustang motif carpet mats, a passenger footwell-mounted fire extinguisher, power steering, finned Cobra-branded rocker covers, a performance air filter, a front strut brace, an uprated Ford Falcon master cylinder and brake booster, and a 1966 Mustang rear valance incorporating reversing lights. The Mustang is accompanied by a collection of receipts and documents, an engineer’s report, identification papers, a collection of notes, and a wiring diagram. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: It is the seller’s understanding that both the respray and interior retrim were completed around five years ago, stating that the car remains in very good condition. The most recent inspection test was completed in February 2025. The last maintenance was a service in February 2025 at an indicated 7,900 miles by Onsite Mechanics. This included an engine oil and oil filter change and a check over. The seller informs that previous services were completed by the last owner. The wheels and tyres, Bluetooth stereo and GT stripes have been added to the Mustang in the last two months. This Ford Mustang GT 289 Hardtop is a striking example of the marque’s iconic ‘pony car’. It has benefitted from a programme of restoration and enhancement which has included an engine and transmission rebuild, a respray, an interior retrim, many new parts and the conversion to right-hand drive. It should prove a rewarding addition to any collection and a characterful companion for spirited drives or weekend cruising.
