Description for Ford Mustang 1965

Title says Restored but its more of a upgrade not a restoration although many of the mods were to original type standards, interior and wheels.
Very Nice Mustang More then a Project Car but one that just needs body and paint to be a really nice solid car.
My son and I bought this as a 6 cylinder 3 speed car and built it to be safe, fun and added a V8 along with other creature comforts that were desirable. This was a great platform to bond with my son and teach him something about cars as well. This would be a perfect resto rod for someone to take to the next level.
Car runs great and can be driven anywhere with a big smile and lots of thumbs ups or while getting gas plenty of questions from people.

We drove the car about a half a year before we started upgrading to the V8 and other mods.
Any known issues:
Engine has one or two oil leaks, I think Valve cover gaskets, I may get to change them this week if I get time.
Steering Box should be changed. Not bad but if this were changed the car would handle like a new car with all of the other things we did. You may not even notice I'm just picky.
Body looks great in pictures and from 10 feet. You could drive and enjoy this car for sometime without touching it but its a shame not to have the body perfect with all of the other stuff we did.
Car is nothing to be ashamed about at all and does shine up nice.
Frame is in great shape as is trunk and floor pan area.
If we were keeping it I would upgrade to fresh 302 engine with mild build and do the body and paint. Most of the hard work of fitment and figuring things out have been done along with all of the mods to accept the modern trans and power steering.
Why are we selling the car? My son is going off to College and needs a car that is more practical and that gets better fuel economy. he currently drives 70 miles plus per day and needs something more suited for these drives. We have found him the right car and have told him he can't have two cars. I have way too many other projects going on to keep this one and make it a true show car so have decided to sell it someone else can enjoy it as it is or go to the next level.
I have all receipts for the build.
