Inside, a rich all-leather upholstered interior with deep foam support and distinctive features that make this car a standalone. At least two other ’65 Mustangs have been found across the United States with this interior that had Mr. Ford’s blessings. Not only equipped with leather, but also real teakwood appointments and rich chrome. The steering wheel’s horn ring lacks the words “FORD MUSTANG” which indicates how early these parts are. Ford didn’t have a name for the Mustang until late in 1963.
We learned in the course of Art’s restoration he has a 1963 289 High Performance engine with experimental cylinder head castings. Because there was a huge demand for V-8s, Ford had to scramble to find a Hi-Po engine for this car.
