1965 Mustang Options
Deciding on a powertrain was just the first step in personalizing a Mustang in its inaugural 1965 model year. Further down the long
options list were power brakes ($42); power steering ($84); tinted windshield ($22); the same with tinted windows ($31); 14-inch
whitewall or red-band tires (to replace 13-inch blackwalls); spinner wheel covers ($18 the set); and 14-inch wire-wheel covers ($46).
"Rally Pack" gauges, a padded dash, and sun visors were all extra-cost items,although Ford made
the adjustable driver's seat standard.
Minor items like backup lights and padded dash and sunvisors are common standard equipment now,
but cost extra then. The priciest single option was air conditioning at $283 (but not available with the
HP V-8). Also on the menu: a "Rally-Pac" tachometer and clock in a small pod atop the steering column
($69); deluxe steering wheel ($32); sports center console ($52); pushbutton AM radio with antenna ($59);
rear-seat speaker ($12); a vinyl roof covering for the hardtop ($76); and power operation for the
convertible top ($54).
Then there were option packages to grapple with: handling suspension (V-8s only, $31); Visibility Group
(remote-control driver's-door mirror, day/night inside rearview mirror, two-speed electric wipers and
windshield washers, $36); Accent Group (pin striping and rocker-panel moldings, $27); and Instrument
Group (round speedometer and four smaller dials including oil-pressure gauge and ammeter, $109).
Added in September were Kelsey-Hayes front-disc brakes ($57 and well worth it), "Equa-Lock"
limited-slip differential ($43), "spider-web" styled-steel wheels ($120), front bench seat ($24), and
a $165 GT Group comprising the disc brakes, grille-mounted driving lights, special badges, and rocker-panel racing stripes like those
on Ford's GT40 endurance racer. A bit later on came the Interior Décor Group, the so-called "pony interior" now highly coveted by
collectors. This $107 package bundled the GT gauge cluster with woodgrain appliqués on dash and door panels, a simulated-wood-rim
steering wheel, door courtesy lights, and -- the main attraction -- unique duo-tone vinyl upholstery with a herd of running horses
embossed on the upper seatbacks.
