1965 Ford Mustang Convertible

The coupe and the 1965 Ford Mustang convertible were the original two pony cars, introduced by Ford in 1964. The fastback model would come later, which means that there were no 1964 1/2 fastbacks.



But you could have one of the early 1964 1/2 convertibles or what's known specifically by enthusiasts as the 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible. For Mustang purists, if your car was a V8, the only engine you'd see in a














'65 Mustang convertible would be the 289 cubic inch V8. If you had the 260 cubic inch V8, you'd be referring to a 1964 1/2 model, although technically, both cars were classified by Ford as a 1965.

There were some important differences in the car's underpinnings that did more than increase the curb weight from the coupe's 2,449 lbs to the convertible's 2,615 lbs.

Chief among these differences were the addition of fabricated steel "torque boxes", which stiffened the chassis, to help reduce body flex caused by the lack of a strong steel roof.

These proved to work well enough, that later models, convertible or not, would include them.
