This 1965 A-Code Mustang Convertible came to Mustang Craftsmen from Ohio, carrying with it both originality and potential. With its factory 289 V8 and clean convertible chassis, it was the perfect candidate for a restoration that would celebrate the spirit of the first-generation Mustang while elevating it to a whole new level of craftsmanship and drivability.

As an original A-Code car, it deserved more than just a cosmetic refresh—it required precision, authenticity, and a deep understanding of what makes early Mustangs so special. Our process began with complete disassembly and evaluation. The body was stripped and refined, the panels realigned, and the entire car was repainted to perfection, bringing the iconic lines of the ’65 convertible back to life.

Under the hood, the factory-correct 289 V8 was rebuilt for performance and reliability. The drivetrain and suspension were restored to ensure smooth handling and enjoyable cruising—true to its heritage, but with modern dependability. Inside, the interior was reimagined using period-correct materials, capturing the elegance and simplicity of the original convertible Mustang cabin.

From a trusted shop to a trusted car, this 1965 A-Code Convertible is on its way to becoming a show-worthy cruiser, built with care, precision, and deep Mustang knowledge. At Mustang Craftsmen, it’s not just about restoration—it’s about delivering the experience and results our clients dream of.
