Ever wanted to be the proud owner of a piece of Americana?
Here's your chance!
This is the iconic American muscle car - a 1965 Mustang GT convertible in Poppy Red. Introduced in April 1965, the
Mustang GT was only made for 4 months before the model year changed. VERY limited production, and very few
survivors 50 years later. Equipped like this one (a Poppy Red convertible with 4-speed manual transmission), there
is only a very small number of survivors (by many estimates, 100-200) out there, and they seldom hit the market.
This car turns heads and draws ooohhhhs and aaaahhhhs wherever she goes!
Here's what you get:
ORIGINAL factory-built GT (NOT a GT "clone")
ORIGINAL 289 cubic inch V8, 225 horsepower
ORIGINAL 4-speed manual transmission (Borg Warner T-10)
ORIGINAL Autolite 4100 4-barrel carburetor
