If you walked into a Ford dealership 58 years ago to order a Mustang, the first engine you got to experience was the straight-six. The base engine was the same as in 1965 – a 200ci unit rated at 120 horsepower.
Starting in 1965, the V8 lineup no longer included a 260ci choice, so the base configuration was now a 289ci unit with a two-barrel carburetor. It was rated at 200 horsepower and was the most common choice for Mustang buyers in 1965 and 1966.
Ford also offered more powerful options, including a four-barrel version of the same V8, rated at 225 horsepower at the time. The top configuration was the HiPo flavor, with an output of 271 horsepower.
The Mustang in these photos appears to have a six-cylinder engine under the hood (correct me if I'm wrong, as eBay seller bilittl_65 doesn't provide any specifics on the engine). The owner claims it starts and runs, but we're not getting more information.
The car looks like it's been sitting for many years and is now parked in some sort of yard, waiting for someone to take it home. It hasn't been driven much lately, and you can tell the metal requires urgent attention. The body already exhibits concerning problems, and I don't expect the undersides to be cleaner. If possible, you should put the car on a lift to see what's under it, but the floors and the trunk pan might require typical patchwork or even full new pans.
The seller decided to let the photos speak for themselves, and unfortunately, they didn't answer key questions. The interior looks better than expected, especially when seeing this Mustang parked in someone's yard, but you'll need to see it in person before you can tell if anything big is missing or what must be replaced.
The bidding for this Mustang is underway, and the battle is fiercer than anticipated. The car received 26 bids, and the top offer is now at approximately $1,000, meaning you can take this Mustang home with the money you'd normally spend on an iPhone.
However, the seller also enabled a reserve, but it's unlikely to be far from the current top bid, so the Mustang has a big chance of finding a new home by the time the auction ends in two days. The buyer will need to tow this Mustang to their garage, as its current condition doesn't allow it to be driven on public roads (despite the engine under the hood still running).
You can find it in Oxon Hill, Maryland, and considering the auction ends in about 48 hours, you are running out of time to contact the seller and request more information.
