1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback A-code powered by a 4.7L V8 289cui Ford Windsor engine and driven by a 4-speed floor-shift manual transmission.
The biggest change in the 1965 Mustang model range was the availability of a new fastback model, which was to become the basis for Carroll Shelby’s GT 350. An option that was introduced in April of 1965 was the GT equipment group. Available only with one of the two four barrel engines, the GT group included five-dial instrumentation, disc brakes, larger sway bars, quicker steering ratio, dual exhaust which exited through the rear valance panel, grill mounted fog lights, and special lower body side stripes. The fastbacks were called 2+2’s because they had 2 seats in the front and a fold down seat in the back.
1965 Mustang GT’s were very different from the regular cars. They also had many factory modifications that are hard to duplicate after production. Because different plants produced Mustangs in different ways, not all rules are firm and fast. but there are some of these rules that must be met! The very basic rule is that every GT must be either a “K” code car or an “A” code car built after mid February 1965, no exceptions. The GT must have a dual exhaust system with exhaust trumpeters that exit through a special rear valance with 2 exhaust openings.
This Fastback A-code runs and drives like new, and is in beautiful condition with it’s base clear coat and super solid body.
This is an exceptional example of the Fastback model!!
