1965 Ford Mustang

1965 Ford Mustang Coupe â?" Inline-6 Automatic with Air Conditioning, Solid Driver Why This Car Is Special The 1965 Ford Mustang is the car that defined the pony car segment, and sixty years later, the base coupe still holds a place that no other variant quite replicates. While the high-performance V8 cars get most of the magazine coverage, the six-cylinder Mustang is what most Americans actually bought. Ford sold over 559,000 Mustangs in the 1965 model year alone â?" a record that stood for decades â?" and the 200ci inline-6 coupe made up a significant portion of that volume. These were the everyday Mustangs, the ones driven to work, to school, and across the country. They survived in smaller numbers than their V8 counterparts simply because they were used as transportation rather than preserved as trophies.
