This Ford Mustang Convertible is an iconic 1960s classic, presented in a timeless colour scheme and offered from 17-year ownership. Under the bonnet sits a 260ci (4.3-litre) V8 engine, sending up to 121kW (164hp) to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. First registered in the US in 1965, the Mustang was imported to Australia and registered by the seller in 2007. The odometer shows 98,136 miles. The Mustang is finished in red with a black convertible roof, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior. It rides on 14-inch chrome-finished Rally GT steel wheels, fitted with Goodyear Eagle GT II tyres. Equipment includes a wood-rimmed steering wheel, period-styled radio cassette player, heating and ventilation controls, opening quarter lights and front and rear winding windows. This example is fitted with a glove-compartment-mounted Sony CD radio head unit, red front lap belts, and black rear lap belts. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is a stone chip on the lower back quarter panel, a small tear on the convertible roof boot cover and the driver’s door internal spring seems to have come off, resulting in it only opening from the outside. They report that the car is in good usable condition and is always garaged while not in use. The last inspection test was conducted in 2007, resulting in a pass with no advisories. The last maintenance was a service conducted at approximately 97,000 miles. The seller states that the Mustang is regularly serviced by his local mechanic. During his 17-year ownership, the Mustang has been fitted with a new water pump and the radiator has been reconditioned. This Mustang Convertible is a usable example of Ford’s iconic pony car. It combines characterful V8 power, a comfortable cabin and open-topped charm, and should make a stylish companion for weekend cruising, tours and classic car shows.
