1965 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2 For Sale With 300 CI V6 at $29,895

By Michelle Nati Autoblog

A 1965 FordMustang Fastback 2+2 is up for grabs on eBay with an asking price of $29,895 or best offer. Finished in its original colors of black over a red interior, it shows 133,395 miles and is powered by its 200-cubic-inch inline-six paired with an automatic transmission. While V8-powered Fastbacks typically steal the spotlight, this one is for buyers looking for an honest driver rather than a fully restored collector car.

What it's worth right now

According to Classic.com market data for the 1965-66 Ford Mustang Fastback, the average sale price is $54,181, with the current Classic.com Market Benchmark listed at $52,012. Classic AutoTrader shows 1965 Mustang Fastback pricing with a low of $21,995, an average of $74,846, and a high of $164,995. When compared to those data sets, the $29,895 asking price is below the broader Fastback market, but not below the lowest advertised price. That asking price stands out pretty quickly, but it doesn't automatically make this Mustang a bargain. Cars that sell well below market price usually have a reason, whether it's mileage, a drivetrain that's less desirable, repairs, or cosmetic flaws. In this case, the inline-six, repaint, replacement floors, and mileage numbers all likely account for the difference. Even so, there's plenty of room for optimism if this car holds up under an in-person inspection.

Condition and details

This Mustang features a 200-cubic-inch inline-six, automatic transmission, power steering, manual brakes, bucket seats, full-length console and deluxe spinner hubcaps. An aftermarket AM/FM radio, was also installed without cutting into the dash. The car has received an extensive refresh, including new brakes, wheel cylinders, brake hoses, tires, spark plugs, distributor cap, points, an aluminum radiator, thermostat, fuel tank, and fuel-sending unit. The listing also states the lights, gauges, and factory equipment are all functioning properly. The Mustang's black finish looks solid overall, though you can see some paint checking and body work on the car's upper quarter panels in the pictures. Its new(ish) floor pans and clean underside indicate some structural restoration work.

What makes the Mustang Fastback unique

Introduced during the 1965 model year, the Mustang Fastback stood out from its coupe and convertible siblings thanks to its sweeping roofline and practical fold-down rear seat. While the 289 V8 models usually grab all the attention from collectors, Ford also built the Fastback with a reliable 200-cubic-inch "Thriftpower" inline-six. Rated at 120 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque, this engine wasn't meant for drag racing, but it delivered dependable, budget-friendly driving packed inside an iconic muscle car shape. Today, six-cylinder Fastbacks occupy an interesting space in the collector market-they don't command the premiums of K-code or V8-equipped cars, but they offer the same iconic styling at a considerably lower price, making them appealing to buyers who want to own and drive an early Mustang without spending six figures.

My take

There's something refreshing about a listing that doesn't oversell itself. This Mustang is exactly what it looks like-a mostly original, mechanically sorted Fastback with some cosmetic flaws but enough recent work to give you peace of mind. Sure, it isn't the V8 model most collectors hunt down, but that is also why it is priced under $30,000. For anyone who cares more about the classic Fastback look than raw speed, this is a smart entry point into the hobby. As long as an inspection matches the description, owning a solid, reliable driver like this makes a lot more sense than draining your budget on a rough V8 project that needs another $20,000 in immediate repairs.
