Description/extras: A timeless symbol of American muscle and mid-century design is a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe finished in a classic blue exterior. This 2-door hardtop model encapsulates the spirit of the original pony car, combining bold styling with a smooth V8 performance under the hood. An icon since its debut, the first-generation Mustang has become a staple of classic car collections worldwide—and this example brings all the correct elements to the table.
This Mustang features a 283 cubic inch V8 engine, paired to a 3-speed automatic transmission, offering strong road presence and plenty of low-end torque. While not factory-correct (Ford offered 260, 289 V8S originally), this 4.6-litre powerplant speaks to the car’s upgraded personality—an intentional touch by a previous owner as part of a series of tasteful modifications. It provides effortless cruising and modern-day reliability without losing the vintage feel.
The odometer currently reads 47,011 miles, though this figure is unverified. Regardless, the vehicle has been cared for throughout its life, with many signs of restoration work evident throughout. The engine bay is clean and neatly presented, while the car starts, runs, and drives with the enthusiasm expected from a well-sorted V8 classic.
Finished in a striking blue paint scheme, the Mustang’s exterior delivers immediate curb appeal. Chrome accents such as the front grille surround, window trims, door handles, and dual exhaust tips are all in good order and complement the paintwork well. Panel gaps appear consistent, and the body lines maintain the crisp, sculpted form the Mustang is known for.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find a bright black vinyl interior configured in its original 2+2 layout. The front bucket seats and rear bench present well, offering both comfort and visual contrast against the exterior paint—black door cards, dashboard, and carpeting round out a clean and period-appropriate appearance. No excessive wear or tear suggests the interior has seen recent refreshment or refurbishment.
Instrumentation is classic Mustang—simple, straightforward, and effective. The dash houses the original-style circular gauges, and the steering wheel appears to be a factory-style unit. The 3-speed automatic gear selector is mounted on the floor, retaining the traditional muscle car layout and appeal. Depending on restoration specifics, a discreet aftermarket stereo may be fitted.
Beneath the surface, the car rides on period-correct wheels with good-quality rubber, lending a stock-like look with confident road manners. Suspension and braking components appear in good working order, with no significant sag or uneven stance. The Mustang delivers a smooth yet throaty V8 driving experience—ideal for weekend shows or open-road cruising.
As mentioned, this vehicle has undergone several modifications as part of a prior restoration. These include installing the 283 V8 engine in place of the original unit and possibly drivetrain, interior, or wiring upgrades. While not entirely original, these enhancements provide modern usability without detracting from the car’s classic appeal.
The paintwork remains shiny and uniform, though minor imperfections may be expected from use. There is no visible corrosion of concern, and the underbody appears clean and structurally sound. All lights, lenses, and badges are present and correct, maintaining the authentic look of the 1965 model.
This Mustang is offered with a clear title and has been part of a private collection. It’s been stored indoors and used sparingly, maintaining its condition mechanically and cosmetically. All basic systems function as they should, with the vehicle ready for its next enthusiast.
It’s hard to overstate the Mustang's importance in automotive history. Few vehicles offer the same blend of affordability, style, performance, and community support. This car represents an opportunity to own a piece of that legacy, with modifications that enhance its usability while staying true to its roots.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, this 1965 Coupe offers excellent value for money, especially with its upgraded V8 and attractive cosmetic condition. It’s ready to be driven and enjoyed, with minimal immediate needs for improvement.
The sale includes two sets of keys and a clear U.S. title, making registration and export straightforward. Interest-seeking bidders are welcome to a pre-purchase inspection, and further images or video walkarounds may be available on request.
This is your opportunity if you’ve been waiting for a tidy, affordable Mustang that blends restoration with a few subtle upgrades. With its strong-running V8, excellent colour combination, and vintage charm, this coupe is ready for the next chapter of motoring adventures.
Don’t miss your chance to take the wheel of this 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe—an American icon that continues to capture hearts six decades after its debut.
