"1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
Movies and television have an impact on culture, of course, and they also impact our taste in automobiles. How many Trans Ams sold after Smokey and the Bandit became a hit? What did Back to the Future do for DeLoreans? What body style is the most famous Mustang and the most valuable movie car in history? Steve McQueen's fastback Mustang, of course. Fastbacks were always seen as the more youthful, sporty version of the Mustang and 4 out of 5 car guys agree, they're just plain cool, (not a scientific sampling).
For consignment, a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. It's original looking and wears a beautiful hue of blue. The car has been garaged by our consignor who is also not afraid to drive it distances. This car made the trip to Ocean City, Maryland, a three hour trip, and to Classic Auto Mall, an hour away without incident.
Exterior
Two stage Silver Blue paint adorns the car and helps make the iconic lines of the car pop. From the recessed waistline cove to the louvered rear quarters, everything is just a bit crisper in this color. The beautiful chrome bumpers, Mustang emblazoned grille, and headlights meld seamlessly with the silver tones in the paint, while the taillights and front marker lights explode with contrast. Other metal work including the window frames, door handles, and side mirrors are in fine condition. 14-inch steel styled wheels look great, and the blue Mustang center cap is a great accent. Imperfections in the paint include bubbling down low, a touched up S-shaped scratch, also low, some extra paint drip, a gap in the headlight surround, evidence of body filler sculpting, and general panel gap imperfections.
Interior
Black vinyl door panels with stitched pattern inserts look fantastic and clean. The same can be said about the low back bucket front seats, and their silver side molding shining bright. The 2+2 seats in the back are purposely shaped to allow the back to fold down providing a carpet topped cargo area that is voluminous. A wood rimmed steering shines with a lacquered surface and is complemented by its polished metal spokes. Sliding down the column we find Rally Pac gauges, an optional accessory in 1965 which includes a clock on one side and tachometer on the other. Above it the standard horizontal speedometer is flanked by two round gauges in splendid symmetrical synergy. The AM/FM radio is embedded in the dash to the right, above a bank of chrome vents. Ford's T-handle shifter is floor mounted, surrounded by faded loop style carpet that retains its black color in the footwells. A center armrest has been added and has the ever important cup holders. The trunk is unlined and clean.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, we find a rebuilt 302ci V8 topped by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold. The presentation is driver quality dressed with chrome valve covers and air filter element cover. It is connected to a rebuilt C4 3-speed automatic transmission sending power back to the Ford 8"" rear with 3.00 conventional gears. Drum brakes are situated at each wheel.
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath as well with plenty of surface rust and more concerning rust on frame rails and patterns, along with patched panels on the rear torque boxes, areas of flaking rust, and separation. There's a bit of surface rust on the door bottoms as well. The dual exhaust looks great however and flows from headers back to stainless steel muffler and then out the back via downturned tailpipes. We also note no leaks or misplaced fluid. Coil springs are on the front independent suspension while leaf springs are in the back.
Drive-Ability
The sloping rear window provides great visibility, and we'll gladly sacrifice the blind spot for the iconic louvered panel. The big steering wheel provides a great handle and off we trot onto the test loop with the 302 breathing well through headers and dual exhaust, and it sounds darn good too! The 302 delivers good power and the chassis, a comfortable ride. All functions work as expected with the exception of the tachometer and clock.
Fastback fanatics won't even look at a notchback and we totally get it. This is easily in the top 10 designs for the era of pony cars and gets a lot of attention. You don't need a 390 car or a Dodge Charger chasing you to have fun in the classic and like rain off the back window, these cars stream out of the mall pretty quickly, so we encourage you to get on your horse and giddy up.
