Side-profile view of a 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop ”Notchback” Coupe, [65A]; One of 409,260 produced. Fitted W/ optional 289-CID V8. Although the registration “DSX 135C” and front grille treatment both identify this car as a 1965 model, that distinctive chrome side scallop trim was made for the 1966 model year. Presumably at some point this car would’ve been restored and retrofit with 1966 trim pieces, including aftermarket mag wheels. The paintwork was in immaculate condition and the engine sounded great. Spotted outside the old steam train station in Pickering, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K.
