Description
Lot #245 - This features its original A-code 289ci engine with factory Palomino Pony interior, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power steering, disc brakes and center console. A complete ground-up restoration was performed on this well-optioned rust-free Arizona car with all of its original factory sheet metal. With just two previous owners, this 1965 Mustang has spent its entire life in Southern Arizona. This car was driven daily from 1965 until 1981 where it was parked and stored in the owner's garage for 32 years. The current owner performed this incredible ground-up restoration. This entire build was performed solely by its current owner where it was completely disassembled and the entire car was stripped to the bare metal. Virtually every nut, bolt, wire and component of this car has been reconditioned to better-than-new standards. This Mustang was virtually rust-free and had no body damage anywhere on the car after being stripped of all its paint. The car comes complete with a photo album documenting the entire build process showing the car in its bare metal form through completion. The undercarriage of this car is fully detailed and finished in the red oxide factory color. The exterior paint was finished in the original Prairie Bronze color then cut and buffed to perfection. The original vinyl roof was removed and painted in Wimbledon white to give it a beautiful two-tone look. Before the all-new factory Pony Interior was installed the entire floor of this car was lined with Dynamat sound deadening and insulation. The 15" Magnum 500 wheels and BFGoodrich tires add to the look of this incredible build. Proving its Southern Arizona heritage, this car will come with all the original vehicle registration slips from every year it was licensed from 1968 until it was put into storage in 1981.
