In July of 2020, the seller’s brother-in-law bought this 1965 Ford Mustang fastback. Since then, he has had it redone with white stripes and upgraded it with a 289ci V8 engine and a C4 three-speed automatic gearbox. Features such as a stainless-steel dual exhaust system, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a Bluetooth-capable Alpine stereo, Alphasonik speakers, a center console with cupholders, a Shelby-style fiberglass hood, and rear quarter louvers are also part of the car’s standard equipment. It also has power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, valve covers branded by Cobra, and 15-inch wheels styled after the Magnum 500. This Mustang fastback is now being sold by its owner, who has all the necessary paperwork for the restoration and a clear title in California.
