1965 Ford Mustang K code HiPo Convertible

History: The Mustang was introduced at the 1965 New York World's Fair, Mustang Mania instantly swept the country, and a new automotive market segment was created - the 2+2 or better known as the 'ponycar.' Though its mechanical underpinnings descended from the Falcon, the Mustang was completely different. It was a compact, tight, clean package weighing in at a modest 2,550 pounds - a departure from the ever-enlarging American cars of the day. The classic long-hood short-rear-deck combined with a forward-leaning grille, elegant blade bumpers, sculptured body sides, fully exposed wheel openings and restrained use of bright trim gave the car a unique look that belied its affordability. Its looks were backed up with power, providing three optional V8 engines with up to 271 horsepower. Other options included automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, styled chrome wheels and air conditioning. Not surprisingly, the entry-level modes were a minority of the production.

This is a super rare K code HiPo car this means it was equipped with the 289 HiPo engine with 271 horsepower and solid lifters and a bigger carb and intake. This was the same engine that came in the 65-66 Shelby GT 350's. This is a rotisserie restored car with a 4 speed and power top and beautiful interior. No excuses king of the hill mustang in 1965.
