1965 Ford Mustang Convertible
Few cars capture the spirit of the 1960s like the Ford Mustang. Launched in 1964, the Mustang became an instant classic, credited with creating the “pony car” segment and becoming one of Ford’s greatest successes. Convertible versions added an extra layer of style and freedom, cementing the Mustang’s reputation as a car that embodied youth, performance and fun.
This 1965 Mustang Convertible is a standout example, enhanced with a professionally built 347ci Stroker V8 producing 343rwhp, installed new in 2021. The engine features quality internals including Scat crank and rods, KB flat-top pistons, Lunati hydraulic roller camshaft, Comp roller lifters, Scorpion rockers, alloy heads, 750cfm carburettor, Pacemaker extractors and Gilmer drive belts. Supporting components include a 140-amp alternator, Carter fuel pump, alloy rocker covers and dyno sheet documentation.
Power is delivered through a rebuilt Stage 2 C4 gearbox with 3000 convertor, recently fitted with a new trans cooler, starter motor and tail shaft. The suspension has been upgraded with Pedders shocks and springs, and it rolls on Boyd Coddington 17-inch wheels. Inside, the car seats five in leather trim and includes a wood-rimmed steering wheel, with receipts confirming extensive work completed under current ownership. Import approval is also included.
The Ford Mustang Convertible became an icon of 1960s America, instantly recognisable on the big screen and in pop culture. From early appearances in films and TV to its role as the car of choice for celebrities and musicians, the Mustang was more than just transport — it was a symbol of freedom and performance. The first-generation Mustang remains one of the most celebrated classics in the world, with convertibles among the most desirable body styles.
