1965 Mustang, with working A/C

1965 Ford Mustang Coupe Description

Lovely example of a true classic. This Mustang turns heads wherever it goes, super clean and well maintained. Since I took ownership I've invested about $6k and have receipts for all work done, less than 5k miles in last 12mths.
Interior and body work are in good condition, there is a very small amount of paint chipped on the corner of the rear drivers side, as shown in one of the photos, but it's barely noticeable when viewing the car. Originally a California car, there is no rust anywhere.
The lower engine block was replaced before I bought it with a 302ci V8, the best block Ford ever made in many peoples opinion, while the top end valve heads are still the original 1965 ones, stamped with the year. This 302/289 combination with 4bl Edelbrock carb results in extra torque. Automatic C3 transmission.
My intention was to keep this car for many years to come, and if I didn't have to sell it I truly wouldn't.
