The owner of this 1965 Mustang Fastback purchased the vehicle from an estate and has recently revived it after it had sitting in a shed since 1985. It appears to be a solid car that is now in good health and is ready for the new owner to get out on the road and enjoy themselves. The Mustang is located in Alto, Georgia, and bidding is sitting at $12,750. You will find the Mustang listed for sale here on Bring A Trailer.

The owner of the Mustang provides a huge catalog of photos of the car, and it really looks to be a solid vehicle. There are no obvious rust issues visible under the car, which is always a good start on a Mustang of this vintage. Apart from the paint on the trunk, it is believed that the remainder of the car wears its original Raven Black finish. There are a few marks on the paint, the most noticeable being on the driver’s side front fender, but the rest of the car looks really promising. There are few blemishes and some corrosion on some of the trim and bumpers, but these should be fairly easy to address.

Under the hood are a C-Code 289ci V8 engine and a C4 automatic transmission. The car is also fitted with power steering and air conditioning. After sitting for so many decades, the car wasn’t just given a quick check over before it was fired into life. Both the engine and transmission have been removed and rebuilt. The engine received new rings, bearings, seals, and hardened valve seats. Since this work was completed the car has covered a mere 200 miles, and is said to now be in good health. There have been numerous other parts replaced to ensure the mechanical integrity of the vehicle, but all of the original parts will be included with the car. The YouTube video at the bottom of this article provides a very quick walk around the car, and you do hear that sweet little engine running.

The black interior of the Mustang is also said to be original, and the condition is also very impressive. If I wanted to split hairs I would point out some fading of the carpet and some minor corrosion visible on the horn ring. Once again, the seller has provided a good number of high-quality photos of the Mustang’s interior, and it looks to be in very good unmolested condition.

It’s nice to be able to buy a painstakingly restored classic car, but finding a largely unmolested classic in good condition is a much nicer experience. That is what this Mustang appears to be. The color combination is very appealing, and the fact that the car has been returned to good mechanical health is also a plus. The new owner could choose to address the few minor issues that have been identified, or they could choose to leave it exactly as it is. I’m betting that we’ll have plenty of Barn Finds readers who will provide strong arguments for pursuing either path, and they’ll all be right.
