Blue 1965 Mustang convertible, left side view.![]() ![]()
This 1965 Mustang convertible has a front bench seat instead of bucket seats. It was a rare option in 1965.
Another shot of the front bench seat. Does anyone remember driving a car with one of these? The whole bench moves forward and backward when adjusted. This is a tricky feat when you have a passenger. You have to coordinate rocking back and forth to adjust the seat. If you don't, the seat doesn't move. I remember saying, "We are going to move foward. Ready. One, two, three, go." Then I'd rock forward, the passenger backward, then alternate - we'd go no where. Pretty funny, actually.
This car has what appears to be a 5-speed manual transmission. At least that is the shift pattern on the shifter knob.
This is a 225 horsepower 289ci 4-barrel V8 engine. It is the middle rated V8 of the three V8 engines offered in 1965.
Not much in the trunk except a sub-woofer can and sound system amp.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
This is an original A-code 289ci V8 engine. It was rated at 225 horsepower. Does anyone know what the vacuum tank(?) is on the fender by the air conditioner bracket?
You can get a great shot of the interior with a convertible. This interior is blue in color. Check out the front bench seat. It was an option in 1965.
Check out this great shot of the optional Rally-Pac instrumentation option. There is a 6000rpm tach to the left and a clock to the right. The clock even as the military hour markings.
Here is a close-up of the AM radio and air conditioning head unit. The air conditioning unit has two controls - a fan knob and a temperature limit knob.
Let's decode the first line. The Body of 76 is for the convertible while the C is for the bench seat. The Color of H is for the Caspian Blue exterior paint. The Trim of 32 is for the blue bench seat. The Date of 26 is for the 26th day of K December 1964. The DSO of 11 is for the Boston district. Axle of 1 is 3.00. Trans of 5 is for the 4-speed manual transmission. Let's now decode the second line which is the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). 5 is for the 1965 model year. F is for the Dearborn, Michigan assembly plant. 08 is for the convertible body style. A is for the 289ci 225hp V8 engine. 257591 is the sequential body number.
This is a black and white vintage Ford photo of the first 1965 Mustang Shelby GT-350 fastback. It has the Cragar wheels. You can see that there is no rear seat.![]() ![]() PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ... |
