The Appeal
The original Mustang was the sort of game-changer we rarely see in the motoring world. It brought sporting style to the family sector, and the earliest models offer the purest style.
This ‘65 hard top is a really smart example finished in blue metallic with a white vinyl roof and a black interior. It retains many original features, including hub caps, steering wheel and radio. Beneath the hood is the factory-correct 200CI 2.8L straight, and there is a manual box.
The vendor describes the car as being in full working order and in excellent condition.
