I was looking around one of the market place ads that come to my computer on Facebook and a local guy had a 1965 Mustang coupe, 289 2-V, automatic, pony interior, radio, wood grain wheel, gauges, heater for sale for $1,000. Since it was local I went to look. When I was building the garage I had several old cars in the field that I either crushed, sold a member one and had a 1966 Falcon Ranchero that was so rusty it broke while getting on the trailer. He was going to use the 289 and 5 bolt spindles and rear to convert a 6 cylinder mustang. So I figure someone might want this one for same reason.
I did not pay $1,000 for sure, lol.
The engine would turn over by hand. The floors are much better than most only one hole on drivers side front. Door tag missing due to door being replaced has a state issued tag in place that does match title and also inner fender VIN# matches. You can get repo door tags.
It is missing windshield, rear glass and trim for them There is not a rust hole in the trunk and wheel houses are solid. Would need quarters, hood fender could be repaired but easy to get repo for them also. Was Caspian blue color with white pony interior.
I believe it had a vinyl top due to it being skim coated with bondo.
So I will either sell as a whole car or sell for someone to convert a 6 cyl. to a V-8. I have an A code also I would sell the same way it was a 3 speed. It is total rust bucket and no way would ever fix it.
The pics are from his ad can get more pics when I pick up the car on Saturday. I have the title also.
I have all the parts to rebuild but I do not need another project for sure. Just trying to save from the crusher.
There is one pic of what the color should be and vinyl roof also.
