This video is about Ben, the owner of a 1965 Ford Mustang fastback, some of his personal history with the car and what he enjoys about being a part of car culture.
You must not be married,it is hard to love a car and a woman at the same time.When I was married I couldn't even have fun my Mustang! All it was doing was collecting dust and dirt due to a lack of use!
The job of a technician is now more a systems operator than a “mechanical” role. Everything now is electric (fan, steering, etc) controlled by an MCU not hydraulic or mechanical like the old days. I hate it, love the old rides, I would love a 1966 Mustang (the year of my birth) with a nice 298 HiPo
My first car was this year and almost the same. My color was a little more blue. But close. My uncle swapped out the original motor for a better one in the 80 which led me to own it. I wish I had it today. Currently I own a 2018 Mustang GT Premium 2 with a lot of extras. I am very happy to have it. In the future I intend to own either another 65 to 69 or a fox body from 91-93. We will see which comes first. !!
Hi Ben, I really appreciate the story about your 65 Mustang. My Dad bought me a 65 Mustang, 2+2 289V8, 4 speed manual, Poppy Red. It was precious not because it was my first car as much as it was what my Dad bought for me. I sold it to get enough money to put new tires on the family car to make it safer to drive. Of course I wish I still had the 65. Whenever I see a story like yours or see a 65 Mustang on the road...I tear up too. Cheering you on, Mike
My first car was a two year old 1965 Mustang 2+2 fastback in Twilight Turquoise. 200 six, NON-synchronized 3 speed and zero - nada - options. I added an AM radio .... couldn't afford the $35 Ford kit (radio, speaker, antenna) so got a $12.95 JC Whitney radio!! Would so love to have that car back .....
Brings back alot of good memories. I was about 5 or 6 in the mid 80's living in sunny southern California. I spent alot of time at my aunt and uncles house because my dad worked alot being a single parent. My uncle was like a 2nd dad. He tought me how to work on cars. I was his parts washer cleaning parts in gasoline at 5-6yrs old😂. He always had first gen mustangs around. He'd find me in the back yard behind the wheel of his 66 bouncing on the seat, cranking on the steering wheel, banging on the shifter, and drenched in sweat with the windows rolled up in the SoCal heat. Good times LOL
Really sorry about your Pop Ben. I am sure he was just happy that you were happy. Really like your 2+2…I had a Red 65 in high school and still miss it 30 + years later. Really dig the subtle touches you did while still maintaining so much of the original. The Cragar mags are just so bad ass on classic muscle cars 😂
Flat out love fastbacks!! Beautiful my friend!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
