Here's a first-gen Mustang coupe, finished in eye-catching red over black vinyl. Under the hood sits a 289-cubic-inch V8 with an Edelbrock intake and carb, plus a handful of upgrades from a 2019 refresh. With 75,000 miles showing, this classic Ford is up for grabs on Bring a Trailer. 289-Powered 1965 Ford Mustang CoupeBring a Trailer What It's Worth Right Now Classic.com data for the 1965-1966 first-generation Mustang Fastback market shows a Classic Market Benchmark of $52,295.

Things like body style, originality, condition, and any mods can swing a Mustang's value quite a bit. 289-Powered 1965 Ford Mustang CoupeBring a Trailer With this Mustang's mix of mods, nailing down a value isn't so simple. The 289 V8 and upgrades are definite pluses, but paint flaws and a paperwork hiccup are worth a closer look. The $3,000 bid is just the opening act – there's no telling where the hammer will fall yet. Condition and Details This Mustang got a refresh in 2019, picking up fresh red paint, GT-style grille lights and rear valance, plus a set of 15-inch Legendary Wheel Company alloys. There are some paint bubbles here and there, so it's not all show-car perfect. 289-Powered 1965 Ford Mustang CoupeBring a Trailer Inside, you'll find black vinyl buckets up front, a rear bench, a cup-holder console, wood-accented steering wheel, and some extra gauges. The 2019 refresh brought in new seats, carpet, and dash bits. Minor quirks? The passenger window crank isn't fully seated, and the radio faceplate has gone missing. 289-Powered 1965 Ford Mustang CoupeBring a Trailer Power comes courtesy of a retrofitted 289ci V8 with an Edelbrock intake and carb, chrome rocker covers, and headers. A C4 three-speed auto sends grunt to the rear wheels, with Flowmaster mufflers providing the soundtrack. Upgrades like power rack-and-pinion steering and front disc brakes make it more usable, and there's a new fuel tank as of 2023. One thing to double-check: the paperwork. The warranty tag doesn't match the VIN on the title, and while the listing says 75,000 miles, the title shows 74,000. Not a dealbreaker, but worth a closer look. 289-Powered 1965 Ford Mustang CoupeBring a Trailer The Offer Specification Detail Make Ford Model Mustang Coupe Year 1965 Mileage 75,000 miles shown Engine 289ci V8 Transmission Three-speed automatic Drive type Rear-wheel drive Exterior color Red Interior color Black vinyl Wheels 15-inch alloy Location Parsippany, New Jersey Interested in this 1965 Ford Mustang?
