my dad is selling his 1965 mustang. it is a manual (3speed) v6. it's white. in good running condition, the body and interior are in pretty good shape too. there are only a few minor things wrong with it like the radio doesnt work and fuel gage only goes down to half full, then you have to guess. basically every part is original besides the transmission, which was replaced a little while back, but still works good.
my dad bought this car in anticipation of fixing it up, but hasnt had the time, plus he wants a fastback instead. with just a little work this vehicle will be in perfect stock condition, and with even some more work it can easily be turned into a BEAST.
i know, this is a benz forum, but maybe some of your friends want a stang, or you know, you can cruise in your luxory benz all sexy like[8D], but you might also want a beastly muscle car that you can tear down the street in[}:)].. not that you cant tear down the street shmobbin in a benz, but you know what i mean... anyways if anybody is interested just PM or email me (stuperman55@yahoo.com) i can send pics too.
he is asking around 4000 or less, willing to negotiate. just ask me and i can give you more info,
would loved to have bought it but the taxes back home are so high that it would cost me arounf 50,000 USD by the time i clear it with customs. I'm dying to get a mustang, 68 camaro & a 67 Cuda. I'm really into American muscle nowdays.
Might be trading my ML for a shelby and 67 Camaro in the UAE soon.
Just a few thoughts for what their worth...
It can't be a V6. Mustangs were powered by an enlarged version of the Falcon SIX which was a 200 cid straight six.
Second, turning it into a "beast" is a bit more involved than it may, at first, appear. All SIX cylinder-engined Mustangs had 4 bolt wheels and all running gear was borrowed form the original Falcon. V8 powered Mustangs ( and Falcons) had 5 bolt wheels and beefer running gear from the Fairlane. To SAFELY turn a SIX into a V8 requires changing a LOT of parts.
yea, i could go for a 68 camaro anyday, those are possibly my favorite american cars.
as for you ms fowler, way to rain on my parade! hehe, ok so i dont really know much about mustangs, but i know you could probably supe it up and make it real nice. anyways, again it is in fairly good condition, and if you have any questions about it i could probably find out the answers to them fairly quickly.. will have pix soon
Wasn't intended to rain on your parade. "Supging it up" is not the only way to appreciate antique cars. Restoring them to absolute stock condition and showing how cars were made during a particular period in the history of automobiles is valuable.
The Mustang still retains ( I think), the record as the most sucessful new car introduction of all time. It replaced the previous holder of that title, the Ford falcon which had replaced the Model A Ford in that distinction.
While young guys lusted after the various V8 Mustangs, over one third of all Mustangs in 1965 had the SIX cylinder. A properly restored SIX has a charm all its own, and is quite capable of keeping up with traffic; all in all a very desirable car. Not to mention that they are probably the easiest car to restore; absolutely EVERY part is available, and when complete all models are quite saleable.
