The Appeal
This 1965 Ford Mustang hails from the dawn of the pony car era, the first full year of Mustang production. This example features the desirable 4.7-litre V8 engine mated to an automatic gearbox. It is resplendent in an attractive Silver Blue Metallic exterior paired with a blue interior, creating a period-correct aesthetic that captures the essence of mid-'60s motoring.
Having undergone body restoration in 2013 before being imported to France in 2017, this Mustang presents an opportunity to own a well-maintained piece of American automotive history with the convenience of European registration and a long-valid Contrôle Technique.
