I bought this coupe in 1980 from the original owner. Shortly after I got it home I began to disassemble it to start the restoration! Well, life got in the way of finishing it and I ended up with three 65 Coupes in my stable. Have one that runs well that I drive on sunny days. I recently sold the first mustang I bought new on January 6th in 1965. Now it’s time to let this one go.

Let me tell you about the mustang that is for sale:
VIN: 5RO7A201263. It has been in my garage and out of the weather since the day I bought it which was 38 years ago. It still has the original black paint it came with from the factory. The engine has been pulled and is in the same condition it was when I got it. I suspect it will need some work. As I began to tear it down, to my delight, I discovered it was a rust free body. Floor, rear quarter panel, even the seam sealer in the rain gutters are perfect!!. You will be hard pressed to find any mustang ready to be restored in this excellent condition. One of the doors was in very bad shape so it has been tossed, so it needs a door. I am also including a brand new factory Ford fender I purchased directly from Ford in 1983.

I have a good idea what this car is worth so I am not going to dicker on the price. It is my hope that this mustang finds its way into the hands of someone who will want to restore it to its former glory.

I’m asking $5,000 for it and located in Portland Oregon.

Here is a Dropbox link with some pictures and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Installed Borg box couple years ago! Very happy with it!! Doesant center quickly but neither does my other two newer cars? Not an issue with me. Got bout 3 degrees of caster and this 65 drives like a dream!!!! One of the best mods Ive done. BTW, my Borg kit came with U joint, would prefer rag joint however. Howard

IMHO The borg box is that much better!!!

Thanks Jeff, since 12 volts and not the reduced voltage of resistor wire works OK going thru the RallyPac tach?

Kinda quite lately so thought I would bring up this issue again.
65 289 with Duraspark ignition. Has anyone hooked up stock
​Rally Pac to Duraspark ignition? And was it successful?
Just cant see any way it would work? What say you?

Yep, sure do

Yep, that's normal!

Why not unplug resistor wire under dash, run new wire from there to coil? Simple and works.

I've found white grease in a rattle can works excellent! Sprays on very liquid then stiffens up when solvents dry. Goes in all the crooks and crannies. Howard 

Just doesn’t do it for me? Appreciate the work but!  

Tornados can create much damage. May God bless all of you effected!!I've worked with Southern Baptist Disaster Relief the last 20 years.Texas has a huge amount of disaster relief workers.. If fact last October I worked(manned a shower trailer) in Omak, WA fires. About 20 volunteersfrom Texas helped with fire cleanup for ten days or so.Great folks!!!Howard
