Ford Mustang 5.0 1965

The 1965 Ford Mustang 5.0 is one of the most iconic American muscle cars, and this particular Mustang is extra special because it comes from the very first production period of 1964-1965. The introduction of the Mustang marked a turning point in automotive history, with its unique combination of sporty performance, relatively affordable price and irresistible design. Success was immediate, and the Mustang grew to become a symbol of freedom and style on the road.

What makes this Mustang extra special is that it has undergone an upgrade to further optimize driving pleasure and reliability. Under the hood is now a powerful 1991 Windsor 302 small block 5.0 V8 engine, which, with its 230 horsepower, delivers more power than the original. The addition of an Edelbrock intake and carburetor improves airflow and fuel mix, resulting in smoother performance and an enhanced driving experience. Electronic ignition and automatic transmission contribute to modern driving comfort, while disc brakes and power steering ensure that the Mustang effortlessly keeps its power in check.

While the car remains true to its classic look, a number of subtle but worthwhile upgrades have been made to make it more suitable for daily use. For example, the taillights have been replaced with LED variants, increasing visibility and safety on the road without compromising the authentic design. The Dakota digital dashboard and Bluetooth radio are done in the style of the original parts, preserving the classic feel but with the functionality of modern technology. For purists, the original parts, such as the dashboard and radio, are still included with the car, which only enhances the Mustang's collector value.

With the old odometer at 44,854 miles and the new counter at 726 miles, this Mustang is ready for many miles of driving pleasure. It is not only a classic to look at, but also a car that is effortless on the road thanks to modern upgrades. The combination of classic style, modern upgrades and a powerful V8 engine makes this 1965 Ford Mustang 5.0 a car that offers both history and driving pleasure in één package.
