1965 Ford Mustang Convertible with Pony Interior (project car)
Description
Selling this 1965 Mustang 6 cylinder convertible with the deluxe Pony interior. I bought the car with the intention of restoring but then had different priorities. The vehicle has 66,510 miles on the clock and most likely requires a complete rebuild as the frame has sagged (was repaired) and there is significant rust throughout. The car last ran in 1983 and has been stored under tarps since then on a bed of rocks. The Pony interior includes upgraded leather seat patterns with mustangs, lights and speakers in the doors. The car will need to be put on flatbed or towed. Title in hand (from Province of Ontario, Canada).
The underside shows areas of surface rust. See pictures. I noted holes and heavy surface rust in the floors and trunk. I have 2 rear replacement quarter panels with some light rust on them. I also have the original hubcabs.
Here is the breakdown of the VIN.
• 5 indicates a 64 1/2 or 65 Mustang
• F means the car was manufactured in Dearborn Michigan
• 08 means it is a convertible
• T means it is a 200 cu. in. 6 cylinder engine
• 667446 is the serial number of the car
• BODY 76B. Convertible with Interior Decor Group (Pony Interior)
• COLOR J. Rangoon Red
• TRIM 66. Black Interior (Pony)
• DATE 18Q. The car was manufactured on March 18, 1965.
• DSO 11. The car was delivered to the Boston Mass. district sales office.
• AXLE 2. The rear axle ratio is 2.83:1.
• TRANS 6. The transmission is a C-4 automatic.
Ford kept very few records about production of early mustangs (64 1/2 to 66). There is a registry where information has been compiled and we can extrapolate information about how many of each type of Mustang was made. Here is the scoop on this car.
• Total production of 1965 599,451
• Rangoon Red 11.8% of all cars. 70,735
• Total convertibles 73,112 or 12.2% 8,627
• % Rangoon Red with black Pony int. 6% 517
• % that are 6 cylinder from Dearborn. 34.3% 177
• Theoretically, there were 177 Rangoon Red, 6 cylinder, 1965 convertibles with black pony interior made.
This is the perfect project car. It is currently located near Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada. More photos available, if needed. Looking for a quick sale, as my parents sold the cottage and I need to move it off the lot before the fall. Asking $2,000 OBO for the vehicle. Buyer is responsible to pick it up. Thanks for looking!
