SOLD!!!!!!

 

Unmolested 1965 Mustang’s are hard to find, this one certainly fits that category AND, it is a black plate California car!!

We strongly believe that the car has just 104,000 miles since new. Everything simply fits too well and the car is far too clean to think otherwise.

This ’65 is a real “C” code car with a 289 V8. The original carburetor has been replaced with an up-graded newer two barrel and the car runs fantastic. It starts cold instantly and does not smoke.

The car is also equipped with rare factory AC though it will need a compressor.

The tag decode tells us that the car was originally built as follows:

65A 1965 HARDTOP
COLOR M WIMBLETON WHITE
TRIM 22 BLUE INTERIOR
DATE 03 JANUARY
OSO 72 SAN JOSE CAL.
AXLE 2.80.1
TRANS C-4 AUTOMATIC

The car was painted a few years ago and shows remarkably well, it simply turns heads everywhere! The car was repainted in a tastefully done white-pearl, but, very difficult to see unless light hits the car just right. The paint is in truly excellent condition though it has a few minor touched-up flaws. The chrome on the car is also in very nice condition.

The interior is unbelievably well kept, the seat covers and headliner appear original and in superb condition. Even the sun visors look great. The dash cover has two very minor cracks, but, to be expected after 40 years.

The chassis is absolutely rust and corrosion free. There is also no sign of any prior accident damage. The floor pans are perfect and have never been touched.

The car is not undercoated and thereby even easier to inspect for any prior damage, repairs or corrosion.

Door gaps and panel gaps are unbelievably good and the doors close first time-every time with a nice thud and no rattles. The headlamp buckets and all trim pieces fit neatly, again indicating no prior accident damage. The engine compartment is spotless.

This car drives great. There are no rattles and the car is tight. The car does not have power steering or power brakes. We actually prefer the lack of power steering as the steering is more precise without it. The car stops well and stops straight!

This is a very, very nicely preserved “C” code ’65 mustang that can be enjoyed just as it is for many years to come.

Realistically priced at just $13,800

The Grand Opening event for Exclusive Motors Acquisitions and Sales department and customer appreciation party was this last Saturday night and- what a night it was! Great cars, great friends, great food and GREAT JAZZ!! Somehow Great Jazz and Cars go together like Great Wine and Cheese…it just works!

Award wining Jazz pianist Rob Mullins and the Rob Mullins band were there to entertain our guests and they rocked…sorry, JAZZED the house! Bubba Jackson From KKJZ was there to M.C. the event; Bubba…you done good!  Everyone should wake up to your radio show in the morning ..just dial in 88.1 on your radio/alarm before you go to sleep tonight!!!!! Wake to to great tunes rather than crappy news…if everyone did, the world might be better off for it.

Our good friend Tony a2z was our special guest and is certainly one of the finest race car drivers to ever come from these shores. Thanks “T“ !

Greg Johnson and his wonderful wife Debbie brought their very rare Jaguar long nosed “D” Type. Only 10 of these cars were built, 7 have survived and only 3 of them live here in the States. This particular car was driven in its day by non-other than Mike Hawthorne. What a great car!!!  THANKS GREG!!!!

We would like to thank Bill and all of his “mates” from Gaylord’s for bringing some very, very cool trucks!

AND, we personally thank: Bonnie, Jeff, Heather, Shelli and Jen for all of their help…We could not have pulled this off without you!!!  A special thanks to Above All Catering (call Maria, she does a fine job!)

Both Ron and I would very much like to thank all our friends and guests for coming, it was a terrific evening, we hope y’all had a great time.

We may just have to do this again; and soon!

Klaus and Ron

Model Cars

October 3rd, 2008, Features

Our good friend Jay Engel examines some of the worlds best model cars. Jay writes for great publications like Autoweek and knows his models!

Most of us think of the beautiful automobiles we all revere are
actually rolling works of art. The Delahayes, Bugattis, Duesenbergs,
Mercedes, etc all qualify for this category. The appreciation we all
share is now beginning to extend to cars in scale; exact scale models
of so many vehicles that a collection of all that are available might
fill the entire main floor of the L.A. Convention Center! The scale
models discussed here will be restricted to the creme de la creme, so
to speak: model cars for the connoisseur collector.
Such a model is the spectacular 1/12 scale replication of the 2003
Mercedes Benz MacLaren SLR Coupe.
