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
