In 1965, the Mustang entered its first full year of production with 559,451 units built. A brand-new model, the fastback ($2589), joined the hardtop ($2372) and convertible ($2614) models. The fastback had a larger backlight glass, a shorter trunk lid, functional fresh air vent on the B-pillar, and a folding back seat. All 1965 Mustangs were identical from the window line down and offered one of four engine options: a 120hp (200ci 6-cycle), 200hp (289ci V8), 225hp (289ci V8), and a high-performance 271hp (289ci V8).
The new sporty GT package came with the V8 engine, special GT grille with built-in fog lamps, a five-dial instrument cluster, an optional GT paint stripe, dual exhaust, and a special handling package. Luxury options included wood-grained vinyl trim, embossed bucket seat inserts, steering wheel with chrome rivets, and door armrests and courtesy lights.
In addition to these options, "Cobra Kits" were also first offered in 1965. These kits included engine chrome dress-up parts, a Cobra distributor, performance options, dual exhaust, cam kit, heavy-duty clutch, and induction kits. Ford advertised that the Mustang could be "factory-customized" to play out your alter ego or change your life.
