Ford introduced the Mustang on 17 April 1964 as a hardtop and a convertible, and it became one of the best-known American classic cars. Among the engines offered for 1965 was the 200 cu in (3.3-litre) six-cylinder, rated at 120 hp, which is the engine listed for this car; V8 versions, the GT package, the fastback and the convertible were the more expensive ways to buy a Mustang.

This 1965 example is listed as a left-hand-drive coupe with that six-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission, and it comes with a US title from the state of New Jersey, which is shown in the photos. The frame number on the title is 5F07T610313. Under Ford's 1965 coding that reads as a 1965 model, built at Dearborn, with the two-door hardtop body and the 200 cu in six, which matches the listing; this decoding comes from public VIN-decoder websites and has not been checked against a Ford data plate or factory build records. The listing gives the origin as the United States and says the import duties have been paid.

Condition

The car is described as being in tidy condition, with a scratch or a paint blister here and there.

The underside is in good condition, and the car is described as starting, driving and braking well, with working gauges, the original radio and the lights. The photos show pale aqua-blue paint, bright chrome bumpers and trim, tyres on chrome wheel covers, a navy-blue vinyl interior with matching carpet and door panels, a horizontal-bar speedometer, a floor-mounted shifter, a red-painted six-cylinder engine with a red air cleaner, and a boot with a patterned mat and a spare-wheel cover.

The photos show the outside, the interior, the engine bay and the title.

The American car has 103,000 miles (about 165,800 km).

Market Comparison

The 1965 Mustang is one of the most widely collected classics, and the six-cylinder coupe is usually the more affordable way in; V8 cars, GT-equipped cars, fastbacks and convertibles tend to be priced higher. We could not find a verified recent sale of exactly this combination (coupe, 200 six, automatic), so there is no like-for-like comparison. One reference point: a restored 1965 hardtop coupe with a 289 V8 and a four-speed manual gearbox (the original six replaced by the V8 during a 2021 restoration, 52,162 miles) sold for USD 21,000 on 7 October 2024 after its Hagerty Marketplace auction, the highest bid having been USD 18,500. A six-cylinder automatic would usually be expected to sit below a car like that. The starting bid of EUR 8,000 opens below that figure; where this car belongs is for each bidder to judge.

Known Issues / Transparency

We want to be upfront about what is and isn't confirmed:

• Condition: described as tidy with some scratches and paint blisters; there are no photos of the underside, so the statement that it is solid is not checked.

• Running condition: described as starting, driving and braking well, with working gauges, lights and original radio - not verified, and no technical inspection report is provided.

• Restoration: the listing marks the car as restored but gives no details, dates or receipts.

• Mileage: 103,000 miles (about 165,800 km) as read from the US title and entered in the listing details, not verified.

• Documents: a US (New Jersey) title; import duties are stated to be paid, and a form that looks like a customs document is visible in one photo but has not been checked. No European registration papers are mentioned, so road registration depends on your country's rules for imported cars - check before bidding.

• Frame number: 5F07T610313 as read from the title, decoded with public sources only; matching numbers are not claimed for this example.

• Beyond the listing details and the photos, no technical inspection report is provided - a pre-purchase inspection is recommended, as with any purchase of this kind.

What Is Included?

• The car as described and pictured

• The US title (New Jersey), as shown in the photos

A tidy, running 1965 Mustang coupe with its US title, in an aqua and navy colour combination that suits the car, offered from EUR 8,000. The six-cylinder automatic is the relaxed way to enjoy a first-year Mustang, and these cars are generally well supported by parts suppliers and specialists.
