This Ford Mustang 1964.5-1966 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1965 Ford Mustang coupe was produced on April 9, 1964, and was purchased by the seller’s father in 1988. The seller states that the car was refurbished in 1990, including a repaint in its factory color, reupholstery of the interior, and replacement of the windows, trim, and bumpers. It has reportedly covered approximately 1,300 miles since and remained in storage from 2010 until a recent freshening. The car is finished in Raven Black over a white and black interior, and power comes from a D-code 289ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. This Mustang is now offered on behalf of the owner with spare parts, service records dating back to 1988, and a clean California title.
