Ford is selling new 1965 Mustangs...
Ford Motor Co. will soon sell brand-new 1965 Ford Mustangs for just $15,000 each. The only hitch: There's some assembly required.
As part of its Ford Reproduction business, Ford revealed today it had approved a new stamping of the steel bodies for first-generation Mustang that buyers could then build into their own 1964 1/2 through 1966 Mustang, using whatever engine, axles, interior and other parts they can find on their own. The first-generation Mustangs rank as America's most-restored vehicle, and the cottage industry of reproduction parts has grown to where it's possible to build a Mustang just as it would have appeared on the showroom floor in the mid-1960s, down to the pushbutton AM/FM radio. Ford says the new body shell built by California-based Dynacorn has been improved only slightly with modern welding techniques and rustproofing, and comes out of the crate nearly ready for paint and assembly. The company already offers metal bodies for Mustangs from 1967 through 1970, and has been in talks with Ford to remake the original body of the Ford Bronco. There's still life in those old horses yet. http://autos.yahoo.com/news/ford-rei...5-mustang.html

Cool. Now to get Dynacorn to do the GTO bodies. But I don't imagine GM would like that to much.

It's not hard to figure out where they are made. Who knows Ford might be paying less for the labor than they did in 65.

Do we really need more damn Mustangs on the road? It's only been in the last 10-15 years that they actually declined to the point of not seeing one almost daily. Of all the kids who had them in high school in the mid-late 80's, only 1 or 2 were actually semi fast. The rest were turds.

I think it is a nice idea. If someone wants to build a daily driver with some style, without risking a real classic, they can go this route. Put in a nice fuel injected engine and overdrive trans and would be a fun car. It's pretty much 100% customizable.

Another Mustang
Why bother if they aren't the fastback's or Mach 1's. Seeing the normal mustang around here is common. Most of the 6's have a little V-8 in them now.
In Gene Bordinat’s own words: “the Mustang was a secretary’s car”. They are second only to the small block chevy. Every car in SoCal seems to be a Mustang coupe of have a small block chevy. Greg |

Ford would not put their name on the vehicle if the metal was not better than the original parts, the assembly was not better, and the fit and finish was not as good or better. Ford will have a Dynacorn vehicle at the SEMA show in vegas along side of a original 64-1/2 - 66 restored convertible to allow people to JUDGE for themselves the quality of the parts. (vs bs on a web site).
Tom Vaught ps I whipped a lot of early mustangs with my GTO so I do have to agree with that comment. Mustangs with small blocks never were really FAST until the BOOST DAYS and then nothing (including Buicks) could touch them.
