1965 FORD MUSTANG

A highly developed and extensively documented 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback finished in iconic Highland Green, powered by the legendary 289 ‘small block’ V8 and benefiting from decades of careful ownership, development and investment with just over £49,000 spent under UCC care since 2020, with £12,000 alone invested in the new engine block in 2023.

The Mustang has a fascinating international history, having spent time in the UK and Monte Carlo. First registered in the UK on 1 August 1999, it comes with a State of Florida Certificate of Title, Mustang Owners Club certificate dating from 1999, documented ownership history and a substantial archive of historic invoices and receipts.

The 289 V8 received a completely new engine block during 2023/24, representing a major recent investment. The engine is complemented by an Edelbrock Performer intake and 600 CFM carburettor, MSD electronic ignition, high-output alternator and high-torque starter.

Power is delivered through a Ford C4 automatic transmission, fully rebuilt in 2009. The car also benefits from upgraded front disc brakes, power-assisted braking, enhanced suspension, KYB shock absorbers and Prothane bushes.

Further upgrades include American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with BFGoodrich tyres, a performance stainless-steel exhaust with Tri-Y headers and electric cut-outs, plus upgraded LED lighting throughout.

Inside, the Mustang has benefited from a new dark green carpet kit, complementing the Highland Green exterior and classic interior.

The extensive history file includes manuals, handbooks, two sets of keys, the 2020 purchase documentation and invoices covering work carried out in the USA, UK and Europe.

Extensive mechanical upgrades, new engine block, post-rebuild oil change, new dark green carpet, international provenance and exceptional history file make it a particularly compelling example for the enthusiast or collector seeking an iconic American classic that has received substantial investment and development.
