Description
1965 Ford Mustang Convertible
French registration document
Chassis number: 5R08C149672
- 302 V8 and numerous upgrades
- GT package fitted at a later date
- Braking system fully overhauled
Unveiled in April 1964, the Ford Mustang immediately took the American car market by storm. With its attractive styling, wide choice of engines and competitive price, it single-handedly created the ‘pony car’ category. Its success was meteoric: over a million units were sold in less than two years. Among the most popular versions is the convertible, which combines the Mustang’s sporting spirit with the pleasure of open-top driving, perfectly embodying the carefree and triumphant America of the 1960s.
The example offered for sale is configured for driving pleasure. Its original engine was replaced around ten years ago with a Ford 302 V8, following the failure of the original engine. This engine is paired with the three-speed Ford Cruise-O-Matic automatic gearbox, true to the grand touring spirit that characterises this convertible.
Several improvements have been made over time to optimise its comfort and reliability. The most significant of these is the GT package (brakes, interior, exhaust, and accessories).
Notable features include electronic ignition, an anti-theft bar, a battery cut-off switch, and an audio system discreetly integrated into the glove box. Under the bonnet, the Ford Racing cylinder head covers and Summit air filter also reflect this commitment to improvement, whilst a Holley carburettor was fitted in 2019, as evidenced by an invoice in the file. This Mustang also stands out for a few unusual features, such as the rear luggage rack and a high-powered American police siren, which contribute to its unique character.
According to the current owner, the gearbox underwent a complete overhaul in 2025. Although the relevant invoice is not included in the file, several invoices dated the same year do confirm a complete overhaul of the braking system at a cost of around €2,000.
This vehicle also features front disc brakes, significantly improving braking efficiency compared to the original set-up. Finally, the MOT certificate is valid, a feature always appreciated on a car of this generation.
