It instantly brings to mind images of wide American highways, sunglasses pushed up, and the deep, contented growl of a V8. This is the 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback, dressed in a color you might buy for the name alone: Rangoon Red. And inside? Red Crinkle Vinyl with the iconic Pony interior. It sounds wild, and it looks even better.

Under the hood sits more than just your average V8. This one’s a custom-built 302 V8 by Madness Power by Karl Ness, delivering 249 horsepower. So this isn’t just American style, it’s got serious substance too. Paired with a manual transmission, power steering, and power brakes, it has everything you want for that classic muscle car experience, but without feeling clumsy or overdone.

Visually, this Fastback is sleek and sharply presented. The body panels fit nicely, the paint has a deep, rich shine, and the whole car strikes the perfect balance between classic authenticity and subtle modern flair. The interior is in really neat condition. Clean carpeting, beautifully upholstered seats, and a dashboard you’ll catch yourself admiring again and again. Everything lines up, and the color scheme is spot on.

And how does it drive? Surprisingly smooth. Of course, the V8 delivers plenty of power, but it's well-balanced and easy to modulate. This Mustang is genuinely enjoyable to drive.

A quick word about the Mustang itself. When Ford introduced it in 1964, it caught the rest of the American auto industry completely off guard. In just a few months, they sold over a quarter of a million units. And by 1965? More than half a million. That says it all. This wasn’t just a car, it was a phenomenon.

Everyone wanted a Mustang. Young, old, sporty, stylish—it didn’t matter. Ford had created something bold, affordable, and endlessly customizable. And the Fastback, with its sweeping roofline that flowed right down to the rear, sealed the deal.

This particular '65 Mustang Fastback is a perfect example of that legacy. Beautifully preserved, iconic in every sense, and ready to be driven the way a Mustang should.
