Basic information and history

The 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback marks the introduction of the iconic 2+2 fastback with the sweeping roofline that gave the model its motorsport DNA. The 1965 model established the Mustang as a performance icon with the option of improved brakes, GT performance and a chassis that responds well to upgrades. The design, proportions and simple mechanics have made the 1965 Fastback a favorite among collectors and drivers who prioritize driving feel.

This example was imported from the USA and came to Sweden in 2014. The look is supposed to be reminiscent of Eleanor and the car is said to have been extensively overhauled with a renovated 289 that was drilled and given new internals about 10 years ago: including pistons, rocker arms, cams, carburetors and aluminum heads from Edelbrock. The power is said to be about 320 hp. The radiator, starter motor and generator were also replaced during the restoration, as well as the release bearing and disc plate.

The car has also undergone a professionally performed paint and body renovation. The paint is described as in exhibition condition. Glass, chrome, moldings and headlight lenses are described as free of defects. The car has been updated with other rims, upgraded brakes, modified suspension and power steering and a different steering gear.

The odometer reading is stated by the seller as 91,000 miles (approximately 146,500 km) but since the engine overhaul the car has only been driven approximately 5,000 km.
