Teresa Summerfield owns this Honey Gold 1965 Mustang hardtop. It's our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting January 1, 2012. Teresa had this to share, "Always wanted a 65 Mustang. When I decided to sell my motorcycle, I couldn't leave the spare garage empty and I certainly couldn't use the money from the sale of the motorcycle for anything but another toy. So it was decided. I knew I wanted Honey Gold and maybe I wasn't patient enough because I settled on a Honey Gold in need of a lot of work. Started looking in Feb of 2011 and found mine in June of 2011. My original budget is busted, but I don't think I have more in her than she's worth. Her name is Gracie Lou."

Honey Gold 1965 Mustang hardtop owned by Kurt Karr from Michigan. It has its original 200ci 6-cylinder engine and a manual transmission. Kurt adds, "
I bought it in 2009. It was in decent shape but needed a face lift. An Arizona car with factory air."

Prairie Bronze 1965 Mustang hardtop wearing a set of nice chrome Cragar wheels. Cragar wheels were very popular. Getting a set of chrome rims was the first modification many did to their cars.

We caught up with this gold 1965 Mustang hardtop again at the 2010 Uftring Ford car show. The rear tires on this car stick out way past the fenders. This is the second year I've been to this show and the second time it was overcast and about to rain.

Here is a beautifully restored Sauterne Gold 1966 Mustang hardtop owned by Gary and Tina Fishbaugh of Allegany, New York, and was our Attitude Of The Week for June 7th, 2009. They say they bought the car in the spring of 2008, it has been repainted but most of the interior and chrome is original, and all the numbers match.

Check out the luggage rack. You could buy ski mounting hardware for this rack as well as a luggage cover. This rack was available for many years as well as a roof top rack. In 1969 and 1970 extra hardware allowed this rack to be removable.

Super rare 1,000,000th Anniversary Edition 1966 Mustang hardtop owned by Paul Axiaq from Millbrae, California. It still has it's original 289ci V8 engine. Paul tells us more, "You've heard about the 1966 Gold Edition Millionth Anniversary Mustangs that were built to commemorate the one-millionth-sales success in 1966. Well they only made about 50 of them so maybe not. They made about 50 of these and there are only 5 known to exist today!
In 1966, about 50 special ordered Anniversary Gold Mustangs were built as part of the Millionth Mustang Anniversary, special order number 1111 and sent to dealerships across the nation. Of the few that have been found, the common features include that they are all hardtops and have C-code 289ci 2-barrel V8 engine, pony interior, steel styled wheels, and special Anniversary Gold paint. There was no paint code for this particular vehicle and they were all made on March 29, 1966.
This car was in two magazines: The June 2009 issue of Cars & Parts, and the July 2009 issue of Mustang Monthly. The original owner says this car was the first unit produced, and that it had been on promotional display as Metke Ford in Bellevue Washington. 'Treasure Chest' keys were mailed to area residents - inside the dealership's chest were keys to the Gold Mustang. The owner's father-in-law stopped by the Ford place while his wife went shopping for a dress: the car was his. The whole story was told in the Seattle Times and Seattle Post Intelligencer. It has been in storage since 1985 by the original owner.
I purchased the car in June of 2009. The car is now stored in my garage where it has been since I purchased it. I have a copy of the original owner's title in Washington. It has a documented 53,987 original miles."
