Ford’s post-war icon, the Mustang, was a sensation upon its introduction, known for its handsome design, comfort, performance, and affordability, making it a coveted addition to American driveways. In 1965, the most sought-after Mustang was the Fastback Coupe with the 289-cubic inch V-8, nicknamed the “K-Code” due to the letter K in the chassis number. This engine, rated at 271 horsepower, was a road beast at the time.
Now, thanks to Bring A Trailer, you now have a chance to acquire a highly coveted 1965 Ford Mustang GT Fastback K-Code. Finished in Silver Smoke Gray from the factory, this Mustang received a repaint under prior ownership. It boasts painted stripes, GT and 289 badging, dual exhaust outlets exiting through the rear fascia, and Shelby-style quarter windows. Mounted with 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels and Falken Azenis FK510 tires, this Mustang features front discs, rear drums with a dual-reservoir master cylinder, and Viking Performance adjustable shocks.
Inside, the cabin was previously red and now features front bucket seats, a rear bench in black vinyl, a roll bar, Hurst shifter, cueball shift knob, fire extinguisher, latch and link lap belts, and Pony-motif rubber floor mats. A wood-trimmed steering wheel frames a five-gauge instrument cluster with a 140-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, oil temperature, amperage, coolant temperature, and a five-digit odometer showing 51k miles.
Under the hood, you’ll find a rebuilt 289ci HiPo V8 equipped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Cobra intake manifold, COMP Cams camshaft, and chromoly push rods. Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a 9″ rear axle with 3.50:1 gears.
Don’t miss this opportunity to acquire a valued piece of Mustang history and have a prized classic car commodity on your hands!
