In my younger days, most of my free time was spent wrenching on whatever jalopy I was fixing up at the time or attending car events around town, with not many hours left in the day for going to art galleries or researching paintings.  But I do know who Andy Warhol was, the guy famous for designing the legendary soup cans, and it turns out he also had a passion for painting horses and western-themed artistry.  It just so happens that a previous owner of this 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback here on eBay was a huge fan, to the extent that he put some Warhol or similar type artwork down the sides, plus added a couple of more custom touches to the pony car.  But the time has come for it to exchange hands, and if you’ve been in the market for an early Mustang project this one is probably worth checking out.  The car is located in Gresham, Oregon, with bidding up to $15,600 so far.

The story goes that this one was originally painted Wimbledon White when it was new, but from the looks of things, the car has probably sported its present look for decades.  But the body is said to be straight, although a previous owner wanted to put wider tires in the back so he flared out the quarters by 2 inches, and from what I can tell it looks like a commendable effort, if you’re into that sort of thing.  Some more customizing can be found on the rear panel, which has an extra set of taillights plus what appears to be maybe a homemade hump of some sort on the trunk lid.  A part of me thinks these touches look kind of cool, while I’m sure others are wishing it was stock, but some good news is body rust is said to not be a problem, so the outside is probably good to work with whichever direction the next owner decides to go in.

Many of the interior components are in at least decent condition, with both the front and rear seats looking respectable if a driver is all you’re going for.  The dash pad has survived well and doesn’t show any cracking, but the door panels are going to need some attention.  Another issue is the floorboards, as there were a few rusty areas that were cut out a long time ago by the previous owner before the car was parked.  The driver’s side frame rail is also going to need replacing, but fortunately, all the parts needed to make all these repairs come with the sale.

The seller believes the 289 under the hood is the original motor, though beyond this we don’t get any more information about the engine’s current state other than it isn’t running.  There’s also a 4-Speed manual with few details about the transmission either, but the original rear-end gears are said to have been changed from 2.80 to 3.80, so when the next driver gets this one going again there should be some good low end.  I sort of like this unusual Mustang and feel like it will make a pretty good project for somebody, what do you think?
