The Ford Mustang was introduced mid-year in 1964. Its introduction would redefine a segment of the automobile industry that had languished at the bottom of the automotive food chain for years in the eye of the domestic car buyer - the compact car segment. Formerly, this had been limited to just a few models such as the Pontiac Tempest, Plymouth Valiant, Studebaker Lark, and the Ford Falcon. While many cars introduced prior to 1964 may have been a pony car, none set the standard for the segment as did the new Ford Mustang. Lee Iacocca's vision set new records that still exist today.
Ford 1965, Ford produced over seventy-three thousand Mustang convertibles. This 1965 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is powered by a 289 cubic-inch V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor and rated at 225 horsepower. It is a higher-output 'Challenger' A-Code model that came from the factory well equipped with options such as factory air conditioning, power steering and power top. It has a C-4 Dual Range automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and is a two owner car. It has been given a restoration and painted in Medium Gray Metallic with a black folding top.
