    Ford Motor Co. will soon sell brand-new 1965 Ford Mustangs for just $15,000 each

    I had a black 1967 mustang fastback once. Loved it. Great cars!



    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.

    Interesting idea. Almost like a "car in a box"

    Should make it easier for those looking to restore.

    they had a huge issue with rust. Especially above the back wheels. Mine had a 289 V8 engine and it really moved.

    yeah, seems like all the muscle cars from the 60s/early 70s had trunk rust problems. I'm from California and my 65 SS impala still had rust in the trunk when I bought it ('98)

    i like the 2010-12 mustang body type better, the oldest one i ever owned was a 1966.

    not sure why someone other than a real huge restorer would buy this vs a 2012 bare bones mustang for around 22k with 305 hp

    nostalgia most likely.

    I love those cars and if they brought back the trans-am with the T roof, I would want one again
