This basic, blue 1965 Ford Mustang has a pretty coat of paint and it is has a lot to offer for a respectable price. You can take it home for $7,000 or you can make an offer, so you have options. It is located in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania and a VIN is listed along with a clean title. The mileage on the odometer is registering at 13,952, but the title claims it to be 140,950. You can find it here on eBay.
Unfortunately, no photos of the engine are provided in the listing. The car is said to have a running and driving six-cylinder engine that has been recently rebuilt. There are no specifics about when, but they do mention that the valves and valve seats have been replaced to allow unleaded fuel to be used by the engine. An automatic transmission transfers power to the rear wheels. A new fuel tank has been installed, likely to compliment the engine rebuild and eliminate any chance for leaded fuel. The seller also says a new radiator and front suspension have also been installed.
While the exterior of the car has been tended to, the interior has been neglected. It is not in horrible condition, but it could certainly use a cleaning and some repair. In one photo you can see the headliner is falling, the driver door panel is missing, the two front seats are torn, and a host of other issues. The photo of the instrument cluster shows surface rust starting to appear. Some sort of moisture has made its way into the car.
According to the listing the car has been kept in a barn. The seller points out that the paint is good and there are no dents and scratches, but it appears to be missing some trim pieces and there is no explanation for that. The tires are marked which might mean they were off the car recently, or these tires for the winter season. Since there is not a lot of information about the car, you will want to contact the seller to get more details.
If the body work isn’t a back yard bondo job, this might be a very good project for a first timer…most of the really hard work appears done…
Easy interior upgrades with reproduction kits and cheap.
Looks like a decent deal if body checks out.
Pretend you bought a Porsche or Mopar after purchase and donate some 💵 to charity 😺
No exterior rust holes?? wink wink. Lots of aftermarket stuff on this. Painted up with crummy looking tires and the wrong hubcaps, plus no pics of the underbelly. Pieces missing all over it. Looker over good. Might be lipstick on a pig. Caveat Emptor.
cheers

I have to agree with you, Gaspumpchas; look this one over good. Lots of work left to do even though a good bit done so far. It pretty much needs a complete interior along with some exterior trim. The front valance isn’t in good shape either. I’d want to see some pics of the engine and the underside but most of all, I’d check for Bondo under that new paint. If it’s a solid car, the price seems OK.
Even if it is an automatic 6, take some pics of the engine bay. Previous comment about no under belly pics…!! Agreed. Take ’em. If ya wanna sell it, ya gotta show it. How many times have we…..? Okay, I’ll shut up.
I’ve seen some in way better shape for 9K and it was a V8 with PS. I passed on the car because that year is not my cup of tea. Would have made someone a nice car though. This one is too much money for what it is.
