Ford Reintroduces The 1965 Mustang!

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 28, 2011, 12:57 PM


If all you wanna do is ride around, the classic convertible can be yours for $15,000.

Ford Motor Co. will soon sell brand-new 1965 Ford Mustangs for just $15,000 each. The only hitch: There's some assembly required.

As part of its Ford Reproduction business, Ford revealed today it had approved a new stamping of the steel bodies for first-generation Mustang that buyers could then build into their own 1964 1/2 through 1966 Mustang, using whatever engine, axles, interior and other parts they can find on their own.

The first-generation Mustangs rank as America's most-restored vehicle, and the cottage industry of reproduction parts has grown to where it's possible to build a Mustang just as it would have appeared on the showroom floor in the mid-1960s, down to the pushbutton AM/FM radio.

Ford says the new body shell built by California-based Dynacorn has been improved only slightly with modern welding techniques and rustproofing, and comes out of the crate nearly ready for paint and assembly. The company already offers metal bodies for Mustangs from 1967 through 1970, and has been in talks with Ford to remake the original body of the Ford Bronco. There's still life in those old horses yet.

Now, if we could get a new-bodied 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird from Chrysler, I'd be even more impressed.

I'm just a Mopar guy (well, anything pre-1975 anyway).

I would do it if I could afford it and had a workspace. But I would probably not do it in California, the DMV and CARB (CA Air Resources Board, a Nazi-like government bureau) will make you turn yourself inside out and upside down before they will even let you look at a DMV issued VIN.

Is there anything you can do in Cali anymore? That is why I will only visit.

Restrictions get tougher here all the time and taxes just go up. That doesn't seem to be a good long-term plan and something will have to change. Remember that line in Hotel California - you can check out any time you like but you can never leave? I'm stuck here, can't afford to leave.
