Mine was a 65 same color, Poppy Red fastback, with white interior, 4 speed and no AC. Loved it. And I love hearing your heart as you share your deep appreciation for Mustangs! Thanks for posting!
I totally agree, the perfect classic car at a relatively affordable price. Known worldwide and an incomparable automotive legend. Because of this popularity, there are also lot of fakes on the market. Check everything carefully, pay attention to papers and originality. A specialist in this field such as Quality Classics is always recommended. With a properly documented car from a reputable dealer, you will never lose money, fun is guaranteed and you own a piece of automotive history with a vintage Mustang. Great video 👍 thanks for all your information and advice.
I was 8 when these cars came out. In June 64, my dad bought home a new 64 1/2 Mustang convertible. It had V8 (260) auto and a center console. Been a Mustang fan ever since. I've owned several Mustangs over the years and stil have my 89 Saleen and a 99 Cobra.
My first truck was a classic, so easy to keep on the road. Always wanted and hopefully will own a 65-66 mustang someday and I know of fellow Texans I’ll be buying one from when I can 😊
I learned to drive in the 1970s and my dad had several first generation Mustangs. I also inherited a 1969 Firebird, which I loved. The 1965 Mustang convertible was always a blast to drive to the beach!
Absolutely love these LEGENDARY CLASSIC Cars, gotta have the 67 Fastback with the fog lights and running horse in the middle dark candy apple red metallic with black interior and I’m good! 💯
And depending on where you live, good luck finding something decent at a decent price. Most of the good ones are gone. You find one and you're thinking about it- might as well commit. It'll be gone and...maybe it'll back on the market again in a short while BUT asking for / probably grabbing, a much higher price.
Hello, have you guys have a supplier of the for the 1965 Mustang Fastback interior quarter panel metal grilles (3 on each side)? I seemed to have found the part no one remanufactures these
Hi Michael, I've been following your operation for years and I am wondering why not buy a restored Mustang where you get a rebuilt driveline, interior, paint etc?
It's always best to buy fully restored, or as sorted as possible. My buying decisions depend on my objectives one of which is to find the rarer more desirable examples. some require more work than others.
I owned a 66 Gt Fastback K code, built motor for Hampton 671 blower. 9" 4:30 gears in the 80's. Wish I never sold it. I now have a 65 Galaxie 500 LTD 352 W/factory AC. My cruiseomatic 3 spd has a green dot. Does anyone know when and why not to drive in the green dot.
good question ... here is the answer. The other drive selection was for iced roads or slippery wet roads. It will then take off in 2nd gear as opposed to 1st thereby reducing the chance of spinning the tires ... I should have addressed this in the video.
Sorry the car was sold before the video was ever made ... the purpose of the video is really to share my thoughts on why one might consider owning a vintage Mustang.
Hi Micheal , is Quality Classics just you and your son , or do you also have employees? Seems to me QC has quite the level of trust . I’ll bet few question the price . Should the time for me to buy I know where to shop . Beautiful classic Mustangs .
Thank you for the kind comments. We have two other guys that work along side of us. We have made friends all over the world by being committed to excellence. We cant make them perfect but it seems we try harder than most. Cheers
Back in 79 I bought a 65 exactly like that one - Poppy Red 2+2, black standard interior, A-code, Auto, but no AC, and it had the spokes and spinner hubcaps (which I like). I paid one thousand eight hundred dollars, and the car was mint. I drove that car all up and down the East Coast. Those were the days...
I learned to drive fast in a '66 C code Mustang in the early 70's...by that I mean I already knew how to drive but the 289 Mustang was the first car that had some performance, and I drove the tires off it. Many years later in the early 2000's I bought a '65 K code fastback and spent about $35K getting it back to OEM specs (with all the Shelby GT-350 mods, less the hood scoop and paint, I didn't want a clone). It was a fun project but by that time I had already owned a couple BMW 320's and a 2000 Mustang Cobra R model and the '65 Mustang just felt and drove so antiquated...even with the Shelby handling and performance mods it didn't really handle or stop very well and at 306 HP it wasn't slow but it also wasn't terribly fast either. But man they look very cool and sound cool too. p.s. I retired as a Principle Aerospace Engineer from a large American defense contractor in 2018 and bought a 2018 Porsche GT2 RS.
It sounds like you are dialed in on what you like ... most true driver type owners eventually land on what they like most. you would be surprised how many folks out there find the 'vintage experience' to be just that.

I have a 1967 mustang fastback that I’ve owned since high school it’s my first one.
37 years I’ve owned it
One develops a personal relationship with one's car the more that time passes.
i have a 67 Coupe that I've had since i was 15... first car... 48 years. It's about to get the fully Monty
I love long term ownership stores !!!!

That is a beautiful fastback!

My 1st car was a 65 mustang .
I loved that stang
Once you've got a Mustang you don't have to buy a new one. You are part of a happy family!
I prefer the standard interior over the pony interior and 65 and six
Great vid!!!!
Nice color, sweet ride.
Yes, I do agree with that!
I have a 65 coupe 6 cylinder. It has some pep. Just enjoyable to drive.
There you go ... the key to it all is "enjoyable to drive".
And depending on where you live, good luck finding something decent at a decent price. Most of the good ones are gone. You find one and you're thinking about it- might as well commit.

What are your engine temps running at in Texas in a 289?

Where do you find these at a reasonable price so that when you're reselling them your not ripping your customers off.
I have not seen reasonable prices for many years now. The focus is always to offer a good value ... meaning a car that is worth the price.

@@QualityClassics Thank you.
How much money is it? I would love to buy.
