On April
17th 1965 Ford Motor Company
celebrated the one-year
anniversary of the
introduction of the Mustang.
To mark this celebration,
Ford introduced two
significant trim packages to
the Mustang option list, the GT package and Interior
Décor Group. These two trim
packages were an instant hit
and to this day remain very
desirable options for
Mustang enthusiasts.
Foremost, the GT package is
the most desirable
considering the performance
orientation of the option,
which included:
-
Kelsey
Hayes Front Disc
Brakes
-
Fog Lights
-
Dual
Exhaust with
‘Trumpet" Tips
-
5 Dial
Instrument Cluster
-
Special
Handling Package
-
Hood Lip
Molding
-
Unique
Rocker Stripes and
‘GT’ Ornamentation
-
289 4V
Engine (Base was an
‘A’ code, ‘K’
optional)
Factory Ford
built 1965 Mustang GT’s are
very rare. Production did
not begin until sometime in
late February ’65 and
continued through the end of
July ’65. Unfortunately,
Ford destroyed all
production data for Mustangs
built from March, 1964
through the end of 1966. So,
we are unable to determine
exact production figures on
just how many GT Mustangs
were built. Some unverified
sources claim GT production
in 1965 at less than 2% of
total production.
Stunning and flawless – A REAL, rotisserie restored,
