Description

• 1965 Ford Mustang GT-Style Convertible – 289ci A-Code, 4-Speed, Restored Driver

  This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is a tastefully restored GT-style example finished in Cobalt Blue over a Parchment interior and powered by a rebuilt A-code 289ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Originally built as a coupe per VIN code “07,” the car is believed to have been professionally converted to convertible configuration at some point in its past. The work was performed to a high standard, and the car has been driven just 3,000 miles since a comprehensive restoration completed in 2007.

  Now equipped with desirable GT features such as through-the-valance dual exhaust, GT fog lights, chrome 15″ rally wheels, and subframe connectors, this Mustang presents as a well-optioned and great-driving example of one of the most iconic American convertibles ever built. It is offered with restoration and engine rebuild documentation, and has been garage-kept under recent ownership.

  Exterior

  The car is finished in a deep Cobalt Blue with GT-style fog lights, correct GT badging, and through-the-rear-valance exhaust outlets. Paint and bodywork were completed during the 2007 restoration and remain in very good driver condition, showing only light imperfections upon close inspection. Brightwork, trim, and emblems are clean and present well throughout.

  The car rides on chrome 15″ rally-style wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, which provide the correct classic stance and grip. The manual convertible top is functional, although there is a small tear on the rear driver’s side. Both recent owners have kept the car garaged and primarily driven with the top down, reserving it only for unexpected rain.

  Interior

  The cabin is trimmed in Parchment vinyl with high-back bucket seats added for improved safety and comfort. The dash was restored with new gauges, and a modern stereo system is concealed in the glove box for a period-correct appearance, with the original AM radio left in place as a visual element. Carpeting, seat upholstery, and door panels show minimal wear.

  Additional features include:

  • Air conditioning

  • Four-speed floor shifter

  • Clean and functional dash layout

  • Original-style steering wheel

  The restoration included attention to both aesthetics and comfort, resulting in a clean and usable interior well-suited for weekend drives and casual show appearances.

  Powertrain

  Under the hood is a numbers-correct A-code 289ci V8, rebuilt approximately 3,100 miles ago during the 2007 restoration. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging and authentic 1960s driving experience.

  Mechanical highlights include:

  • Four-barrel carburetor

  • Power steering

  • Front disc brakes

  • Global West subframe connectors for added rigidity

  The engine bay presents cleanly and benefits from consistent maintenance. The car is reported to start, run, and drive well, with solid throttle response and smooth shifting. The disc brakes up front provide confident stopping power, while the power steering keeps the car easy to manage in traffic or tight spaces.

  Condition & Known Flaws

  • Paint and body remain very presentable but show a few minor imperfections from use

  • Convertible top is functional but has a small tear on the driver’s rear corner

  • VIN decodes as a factory coupe, and the convertible conversion—though done professionally—may affect originality for purist collectors

  ---

  Included in Sale

  • Restoration and engine rebuild records

  • Documentation of mechanical work

  • Original radio (installed, but non-functioning)

  • Modern stereo (hidden in glove box)
