1965 Ford Mustang Fastback: 289 V8 4-Speed | A-Code | Factory Drivetrain Body & Paint: Presented in striking red, this first-generation Mustang fastback carries its paint in very good condition overall. Minor imperfections consistent with a 60-year-old car are present up close, but from any normal viewing distance the car presents beautifully. Chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are all in good order. Please refer to the pictures to assess condition. Technical Condition: The VIN (5F09A722227) confirms this as a genuine factory A-code car, meaning it left Dearborn with the 289 cubic inch 4-barrel V8 as standard equipment, not an upgrade or engine swap. The drivetrain is believed to be the original unit the car was built with, making this a remarkably honest, unmodified classic. The 289 4V pulls strongly and runs well. There is minor oil seepage present, as is common on engines of this age, but nothing affecting driveability. The 4-speed manual gearbox shifts cleanly through all gears. Brakes and suspension are in good working order. The dual redline sidewall tires are in good condition. The underside, as shown in the photos taken on the lift, is clean and solid. The car has recently passed the Dutch technical inspection necessary for obtaining the Dutch registration. Interior: The cabin presents well for its age. The wood-rimmed GT steering wheel is a period-correct and highly desirable feature, and the five-gauge instrument cluster reads correctly across all dials. The interior shows honest wear appropriate to a 60-year-old American classic; nothing that detracts from the experience, everything that adds to the character. Most electricals are functioning, including gauges, lights and switches. Documentation: The car is registered in the Netherlands and comes with a Dutch kentekenbewijs.
