After the stellar launch of the first two models of Mustang, the coupe and convertible, a sleek fastback deemed the “2+2” was set free in the fall of 1964, and, along with its two stable-mates, would continue to break nearly every sales record for a new model car. More so, it would add to the grand profits of the Ford Division like no other car since the Model T. So popular were these new pony cars that shifts were scheduled for around the clock, 24 hours, 7 days a week, just to meet the orders that kept pouring in. Before the model year was through, over a half-million Mustangs would find new homes, but the rarest of the three body styles would be the 2+2 with just 77,079 units being produced. Standard features for 1965 included adjustable bucket seats, an AM radio and a floor-mounted shifter.
This Mustang has been the subject of a rotisserie restoration, which has brought it to show condition. The factory correct metallic Burgundy paint is contrasted with a light, Palomino interior, and amenities include factory air conditioning and a Philco AM pushbutton radio. The owner’s manual and photos documenting the restoration are included with the sale. A bare metal respray was completed during the restoration and the underside was also restored. The chrome-plated steel wheels are unmarked and are fitted with period correct tires, making the car look just as it did when it left the factory. This Mustang is ready for its next owner to use as a fun classic or take to a local car show.
