Ford’s most iconic car from the post-war period was undoubtedly the Mustang, and it was nothing short of a sensation when it was introduced. Thanks to its good looks, high level of comfort and performance, even in standard trim, and overall affordability, almost everyone in America wanted to have a Mustang parked in their driveway. To many, the most desirable Mustang available in 1965 was the Fastback Coupe, as it was equipped with the 289-cubic inch V-8, nicknamed the “K-Code” due to the letter K in the fifth position on the car’s chassis number, which denoted the 289’s presence.

This 1965 Ford Mustang 289 K-Code Fastback was constructed in San Jose, California, on April 15, 1965, and it was built just as you see it today. The car is in beautiful condition both inside and out, as it is finished in Rangoon Red, with a White Vinyl “Pony” interior that has red trim, and features a 3.50:1 ratio rear axle and a four-speed manual transmission. A 1965 Mustang Fastback will never go out of style, and with less than one percent of 1965 Mustangs equipped with the K-code option, this will surely be a desirable and popular automobile for years to come.
