General Information

In 1965 the Ford Mustang debuted as a simple sports car powered by a 170 cid six cylinder with a pair of V8's as options. Originally named for the fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang and later the horse Mustang became the emblem.  Buyers loved its low price, long hood, short trunk styling, and its many options and Ford loved its high volume sales.  In mid 1964, Ford introduced  the sporty 2+2 fastback body style to go along with the hardtop coupe and convertible. Enthusiasts also cheered the new "K-code" 271bhp 289 cid V8 that finally put some performance to match the  Mustang's good looks. For those that wanted more, the legendary Carroll Shelby and Ford collaborated to produce the Shelby GT-350.  This was a fastback specially tuned by Shelby. The 289 V8 produced 306bhp in street tune and around 360bhp in special GT-350R race tune. These Shelby's had no back seat, were only available in white and were fully race ready.

1965 Ford Mustang Ad; this ad reads:

Brakes clamped full on, the fabulous Ford GT slows for a corner in the Daytona 2000-kilometer endurance classic. In 12 hours and 27 minutes of savage punishment it out-braked, out-handled, out-spirited Europes and Americas greatest entries. On the toughest proving ground of all it proved itself the worlds ultimate road car.

Here is Mustangs brilliant new package for the driver who knows what Total Performance really ought to mean. Who else delivers exhilaration like this: a 225-horsepower V8, synchronized floor shift. A straight through exhaust system. Front disc brakes. Built-in fog lamps. The cornering power of Mustangs special handling package. GT insignia on the front fenders and the new symbol of total performance-the GT stripe-above the rocker panels. And, inside, a custom GT five-dial instrument cluster.

Thats the basic GT package. But for even lustier appetites, theres a super-option-Mustangs 271-horsepower solid lifter V8 and the four-speed manual shift. Both packages are available on hard-top, convertible or 2+2.

Happy news - and its all spelled out at your Ford dealers. Take a reading. Soon!
