1965 Ford Mustang Fastback 351W
Basic information and history
The Ford Mustang is the model that coined the term "pony car", i.e. long hood and short rear. The model is today in its seventh generation, the model that Ford has produced for the longest time. It became so popular that competitors such as Chevrolet, Pontiac, AMC, Dodge and others built their own interpretation of the pony car. The 1965 model year Ford Mustang was the first car ever to win the award "Tiffany Gold medal for excellence in American design". The model was sold in over 121,000 copies in the first year and clearly shows how popular the car type was.
This 1965 Fastback was sold new in the USA and was privately imported to Sweden in 2021 by the current owner. The car comes in a nicely restored condition with a 351 Windsor mated to a manual four-speed gearbox and is pretty much fully restored.
Condition
The car has been blasted, rust treated and then painted. Today, according to the current owner, it is free of rust and the paint and glass parts are in good condition. The renovation was carried out in 2022. It is noted that there is some small rust on the chrome around the side windows.
In connection with the renovation, new electrics was installed in the car. The interior of the car is in a nice working condition. Seat material is in good used condition, door cards as well. There are minor marks, dirt and wear, but nothing conspicuously bad. On the passenger seat, material has come loose on the backrest. Chrome details on the chairs are slightly worn. Centre console is home made according to owner.
During the renovation, everything was changed in the rear and front carriage. A new radiator is installed as well as an exhaust system with headers and a new clutch. Engine and gearbox come in very good condition according to the seller and no leaks have been noted. Brakes and pads are described as new. The tires come with approx. 8mm pattern depth left.
