1965 Ford Mustang Fastback: Throttle Therapy

What a great video!!! First, love the car, love the wheels (torque thrust?), and love the steering wheel! I have an ivy green 65 convertible…4 speed, 4bbl A-code, with a palomino pony interior. A work in progress that I’ve owned for 23 years that will hopefully be done very soon. I feel the same exact way when I drive the car… I put the top down and just drive for like an hour and I listen to the car, think about life, and my cares just melt away. I really enjoyed watching this video….made me want to take a drive.

Great video. I can relate to this owner. My very first car at age 15 was a 1967 Mustang Fastback. Years later, I managed to find a 1968 Mustang Fastback and build it the way I wanted. Great suspension, 5 speed and a 400+ horsepower motor make this car amazing fun.

Had a 65 just like that. Set up very similarly. Silver with blue stripes, same rims and interior. Loved it. Sold it to a dealer in New Orleans. A few months later got a call from the guy who he sold it to in the UK! He sent me a picture of MY car in his driveway or whatever they call it over there. It was painful, but help with college tuition. Miss it. Great car and video. Cheers!

Very similar to my story. I bought a ’65 Mustang fastback at age 16 in 1977 for $450.00. The car had a very hard life before I got it. Pittsburgh winters had taken a toll on the body requiring gallons of Bondo and fiberglass . It spend my sophomore and junior high school years in various shades of primer while the work continued. There were no reproduction parts back then so everything had to be sourced from parts cars and scrap yards. I replaced the interior with the Pony upgrade from a car purchased for $100.00 and finally saved up… Read more »

I always love to hear these stories of love and devotion between the owner and its car.

May that Mustang continue to bring you such good moments in these strange times we live in.
