Ford started the production of the Mustang back in 1964, and the engine lineup began with a 170 (2.8-liter) six-cylinder that developed approximately 105 horsepower.

As a result, the aforementioned 170 was pulled, with Ford introducing another six-cylinder, this time in the form of a 200 (3.3-liter) unit developing 120 horsepower.

The same engine is also powering the 1965 Mustang that we have here and which was previously purchased by a dealer with a full restoration in mind. The good news is the six-cylinder started right up recently when the owner installed a new battery and cleaned the carburetor, all despite the car spending the last 25 years in storage.

The Mustang isn’t yet ready for the road, but given the engine is still alive and the transmission shifts properly, the car is definitely a solid candidate for a thorough restoration.
Needless to say, whoever ends up buying the car will also have to take care of the occasional rust on the body, and as usual, a close inspection in person is definitely recommended to figure out just how much damage it has produced so far.
