1965 Ford Mustang GT Tribute " Ivy Green " 302 V8 " 4-Speed Manual
This 1965 Ford Mustang GT Tribute is a beautifully restored classic coupe finished in a standout Ivy Green color combination with black accents, a premium pony interior, upgraded V8 power, and a 4-speed manual transmission. With its sharp GT-inspired styling, strong-running 302ci V8, and excellent curb appeal, this Mustang delivers the look, sound, and feel that made the first-generation Mustang an American icon.
The exterior presents extremely well in 1965-correct Ivy Green, a deep and timeless color that perfectly suits the body lines of this early Mustang coupe. The paint shows a strong modern clearcoat shine and was completed as part of a comprehensive restoration finished in 2022. Since completion, the car has seen approximately 5,000 miles of use, giving it the right balance of restored presentation and proven drivability. The black vinyl top, triple rocker stripes, bright chrome, clean trim, and torque thrust-style wheels all come together to give this Mustang a sporty yet classic appearance.
This coupe has been finished with tasteful GT-style details including fog lights in the grille, GT badging, and trumpet-style dual exhaust tips exiting through the rear valance. The overall presentation is sharp, clean, and well-executed, with good panel alignment, well-fitting doors, and a solid restored appearance throughout. The combination of Ivy Green paint, black exterior accents, and GT-inspired styling gives this Mustang a subtle Bullitt-style attitude while still maintaining a refined classic presence.
Inside, the black pony interior continues the car's high-quality presentation. The bucket seats, premium pony upholstery, center console, clean carpeting, door panels, and classic trim all give the cabin the proper first-generation Mustang feel. The wood-style three-spoke steering wheel and Rally Pac add to the vintage driver-focused layout. Additional comfort and convenience features include R134a air conditioning that will need servicing to blow cold, a retro-style AM/FM/iPod stereo, power locks, and an alarm system.
Under the hood, this Mustang is powered by an upgraded 302ci V8, giving it more performance than the original 1965 small-block offerings while keeping the car true to the classic Ford muscle car spirit. The engine is equipped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, long-tube headers, HEI ignition, aluminum radiator with electric fan, and a Shelby-style Monte Carlo bar. The dual exhaust system features an X-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers, giving the car a strong and aggressive V8 tone.
Power is sent through a 4-speed manual transmission, making this Mustang a true driver's car. The manual gearbox pairs perfectly with the responsive 302 V8 and gives the car the engaging, old-school feel enthusiasts look for in a classic Mustang. Added traction bars and updated suspension components, including newer bushings, help give the car a confident feel on the road.
This Mustang is also equipped with power steering, power brakes, and front disc brakes, making it much more enjoyable and manageable to drive. With its restored presentation, upgraded drivetrain, desirable color combination, pony interior, GT styling, and 4-speed manual transmission, this 1965 Ford Mustang GT Tribute is a great-looking classic that is ready to be enjoyed, shown, and driven.
