1965 Ford Mustang Fastback A code GT

Ford Mustang 1965 Description

For Sale

1965 Ford Mustang GT (authentic A code) – This car was built to be the “real deal”. It is a semi-modernized 65 Mustang that has the original muscle car ambiance of sound and looks (but safer and more reliable). Please thoroughly review the pictures and description as this car has had numerous updates and modifications and I want you to understand exactly what this car entails. It was built with the goal of reliability and the ability to safely cruise down a highway at 65mph in mind.

VIN - 5R09A229876s

Mileage -

This is a very nice “A” code GT that has been slowly put together. It is in great shape, ut does need a few items to finish this project.

• The factory hood was not flat so I found another factory hood (but it still needs painted)
• The proportional valve needs adjusted as it is applying too much force to the rear brakes (didn’t adjust after changing to dual bowl master cylinder)
• Has a vibration at ~40 mph from either a tire or driveshaft not properly balanced
• Needs carb properly tuned (has a brand new Edelbrock 1406 that needs some adjustment) – hesitates when giving a lot of gas
• AC compressor currently not bolted on the car (but I have it)
• Center console not screwed down (has a crack so I was looking for a replacement)
• Rear interior panels has speakers holes drilled into them

Overall the paint appears to be in great shape (except for the replacement hood that needs painted). The driver side floor pan was replaced at some point in time (was done when I obtained the car 6 years ago). This is an original A code GT that was equipped with AC, S, nd deluxe pony interior.
