    Ford reintroduces the 1965 Mustang



    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.

    I was very excited...until I read the article. First, no, I would not buy one, couldn't afford it...but, I've been saying for YEARS that companies should just remake old classics...they'd sell like hotcakes.

    Modernize them only in an invisible fashion, to make them safer and more efficient. Preserve those beautiful lines.

    But alas...once again...no...
    Behold my signature~!!

    If this comes with a legit VIN (since Ford is involved) It would be a great deal actually.

    Well, looks like a VIN is a no no. The dynacorn stuff is great, and it can actually be cheaper to start with one instead of restoring an old crusty POS original body.
    I'll take a fastback, please...

    Yep, if I had the money I would love to put one together with a modern suspension and engine. I assume Ford won't do this because they would have to totally redesign the entire car including the body to meet current safety standards.
