This is the clean pony car with an extra story to tell. People love to see and talk about the 1965 Ford T5 - a genuine Mustang that never carried the Mustang name at all. So to have a rare curiosity in desirable GT form and been invested in nicely creates one of the most irresistible classic packages around. This is one of the Mustangs that was originally exported to Germany, but a copyright issue meant that it could not carry the "Mustang" name. That created an interesting subcategory of this classic called "T5". There's an online T5 directory that will tell you the whole story, and it's also where you can see this car listed. It's one of only about a hundred cars currently known from 1965. So that's what makes this car interesting... what makes it beautiful is the presentation. There has been a solid investment in respraying this coupe in its legendary Wimbledon White. The modern clearcoat finish not only highlights the crisp sheetmetal, but the extra shine goes nicely with all that brightwork. And of course, you've noticed the appeal of the full GT package. Fog lights in the grille, correct badging, styled steel wheels, and the trumpeted exhaust mounted through the rear valance are quite sporty. Plus, the red triple rocker stripe not only looks great against the white, but it's also a preview of the interior. The condition of the red interior is a clear sign of a good restoration and care. The seats, dash, steering wheel, door panels, headliner, and all other main red components have the feeling of a more recent investment. And lovers of details will enjoy pointing out little things unique to the T5's history - like how the Mustang name doesn't appear on the horn cap. This has all the right packaging for a GT car, including the full round gauge package set in the premium wood-like panel. In fact, this one really feels authentic everywhere - from the proper trunk mat to the AM radio that's still on display. This is a true A-code car, and so it's nice to see a performance package under the hood. Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8 has upgrades like an Holley four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. The engine bay has been given the same care as the rest of the car, and so it fires up nicely and makes a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. You get true control over this V8 power thanks to the three-speed maul transmission and Hurst shifter. And this GT even has the proper front disc brakes for ideal control. So you're looking at a very cool collectable that was also meant for driving. This is a pony car that sticks out in the already desirable Mustang herd. So when something this distinguished is also so affordable, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call today!!!
