Ford Motor Co. will soon sell brand-new 1965 Ford Mustangsfor 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.

Fucking gay! Those cars sucked ass. They handled like shit, braked like shi wait they didnt fucking brake, they were slow as shit, and sounded like shit, or and are uncomfortable as shit. Yes they are shit, go drive one and you will go what the fuck is this?

i'd be all over it if i cared about those cars.. I personally know people 20-40k deep in a restoration that began as non running rust buckets. NOW, all you need is a little here and there, paint and you're done.... I LOVE IT.......

now I will wait for toyota to follow suit and bring back the te72/te27....

Every once in a blue moon, you make some great posts.....Other times, like this one above, you just look fucking retarded.

You get just the body numb-nuts. The whole car is customizable. Do you know how much cool shit you could do to that car????

while they aren't a "manufacturer" piece, most kits you can buy are to the EXACT specs that they were in the past, IIRC the Caterham 7 kit is like $8000 or so, add S2k driveline and you're on the money.

i would be all over this ,i love the 1965 you could do a lot with a build like this!!

The price seems steep, but i mean don't its a perfect body...Never really done or been around a full classic restore but im sure a rusted & beat up mustang is $$$$$ to repair.

I guess it would seem that way comparing a 65 stang with a new 370z or something. Even then there were versions that stopped and accelerated like crazy. Bottom line is a base drum brake mustang with an anemic motor and 60's suspension isn't really going to impress vs most modern cars.
I will say this i'd take a 65 hard top over any 60's/70''s/80's honda/toyota/mitsu yada yada but thats just me.

I'd take a lot of things over a 289 Mustang that has 4 wheel drum brakes. Go drive a 60's Mustang... they are seriously pieces of shit and aren't even worth that much at auction. Chevy all day for classic cars, they had big engines right from the get go.
