Ford Mustang V8 289 — 1965

This 1965 Mustang HT 289, a highly sought-after year and model, has been well-kept and maintained by its owner. It runs and drives very well, with the engine fully renovated 6 years ago. Since then, it has only been used as a summer car, ensuring it remains in a top condition.

"This car runs and drives exceptionally well, starting up immediately with a smooth, powerful engine that feels more robust than a standard 289. The automatic gearbox shifts smoothly, the brakes are solid, and it handles the road confidently. The only issue is a squeaky alternator belt when turning the steering to full lock, which will need replacing. It is inspection-exempt permanently and ready to drive home."

Description

This car is being sold on behalf of the owner's estate. According to the owner's wife, this Mustang was her husband’s pride and joy. He never drove it in bad summer weather and always kept it in a warm garage during the winter. The car was imported and registered in Sweden in 2009 and purchased by the current owner in 2014, with two previous owners.

In 2016, the engine was fully renovated by a company in Jönköping for approximately 60,000 SEK and fitted with Edelbrock alloy heads. The engine bay still looks great and has been well-maintained.

The car was repainted at some point, likely around 30 years ago while it was in the USA. The door tag details are: 65A M 28 24B 6 6 - 2-Door Hardtop, Luxury Bucket Seats - Wimbledon White - Ivy Gold Crinkle Vinyl - Jacksonville February 1965, which matches the car today. The bodywork is straight with no signs of rust, though there are a few small paint defects due to its age—nothing that stands out. The interior is very well-kept, with only a small rip on the seam of the driver’s seat. The mileage is listed as 39,242 miles, but it is likely that the car has actually covered at least 139,242 miles. There is no available history to confirm the actual mileage.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mentioned, the car runs and drives well, needing only a simple belt replacement to stop the squeaking. It comes with nice wheels, good tires, and an extra set of wheels included (see the pictures). It is inspection-exempt and ready to drive home.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is very well-kept, with nice seats, aside from the mentioned split in the driver’s seat seam. The headliner, door cards, dashboard, and mats are all in good condition. The gauges are working fine, and the car is equipped with a radio/cassette player.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight with no dents or visible rust issues. The underbody is solid, with only light surface rust in places. The paintwork looks nice and presentable but has a few small touch-ups and paint cracks around the bonnet and headlights, as well as a small blister around the lower edge of the roof near the rear window (see pictures). The chrome work is bright, with some oxidation on the window frames and door handles.

  • General condition:

    This is a nice driver’s car with significant investment in recent years. The small cosmetic issues don’t stand out and can be addressed over time. It comes with some documentation and older receipts (see pictures).
