1965 Ford Mustang Review: A Restomod Done Right

The first generation of the Ford Mustang is legendary. It became the car that saved Ford motor company from going under altogether and is still loved 55 years later. This 1965 Mustang from Detroit Speed has been cleaned up with their state of the art suspension mods, subframe, and is free of any rust. So I ask the question...what's driving a first generation Mustang like all these years later? Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday,Thursday, and Saturday!

What's your favorite classic pony/muscle car?

I’m 26, my first car was a 65 mustang. Actually, it was 3 mustangs my dad saved from the scrapyard. He told me at 15 that I had to build my first car. Spent the next 2 years every night and weekend turning those 3 into 1 good one. So all my love for cars and working on them started with that mustang. Still have it and going to put a toploader in it next.

Shit I’m 23 and I traded my 2012 mustang in for my 68 and I’ve daily driven it since. Many people think I’m crazy but it teaches you to truly learn your car and I love the reactions to it

I just bought a 64 1/2 Mustang a couple days ago at 20 years old and it’s been awesome so far! Lots of great reactions and simple mechanics to make for a great car.

Man the first gen Mustang is still looking nice to this day
I would love to have one as a project car

I am 18 and recently purchased a 69 f100 with a 390FE. I am in the process of restoring and enjoying it. Love the classics

Why I'm glad I was born in 76. Older muscle cars still have a place in my heart and they will ALWAYS have their place in history.

Unpopular opinion: the new generation has a HUGE love for old school cars, it's just that the economy makes it tougher to restore cars. Classics are expensive and parts are as well. Combine that with how cost of living has increased over the years, and it becomes extremely hard for most people in the 15 to 25 range to try to rebuild cars. I has a 68 camaro and a 72 Chevelle that I spent all my childhood savings on. When my family came on hard times, I had to sell the 68 and the years later I lost the 72 in the large 2016 flood in Louisiana. At that time, I couldn't afford another as I was paying for college. Now I currently have a 64 mustang and a 66 caprice Classic. My love for classics will never fade ❤🙏🏿

Hope our generation losses a little passion for the older cars, it’ll drive the price down and more for me!!!

I’m 25 and I LOVE classic muscle cars more than new modern cars! Doesn’t matter what car, corvette, Camaro, Charger, challenger, c10, f100, Apache, GTO, impala, chevelle, nova, etc! My dad owns a 4 door impala, I wanna get a 60s Mustang someday

I just turned 40 and when I was 7 I rode in my uncle's restored 67' mustang coupe. So my first car at 15 was a 66' coupe. Body was pretty good because it was a Florida car and I spent the next three years tearing it apart and making it better than it had ever been! It was some of the hardest learning curve and hardest work I ever did and it was 100% worth it. It wasn't a drag car but it still ran in the 12's on a 289 hi-po from Jasper racing motors. I love lot's of cars but nothing beats an American muscle car for feeling and fun. I wish more kids got to have some of the experiences I had because it really is a great marker in history for making a car be whatever you want and looking damn good doing it. Nice video and Cheers!

My friend me and his dad restored a 66 mustang it’s a fun ass car, breaks down every so often but that’s just the fun of restoring old cars

[jcc]

Haven't watched the video yet, but ever since I was 4 I've wanted an old school mustang and don't care how good or bad a car they actually are. I'm not even 20 and definitely an exception to the modern jdm thing

[pat]

Great vid mate. We have a '68 Mustang and an '05 GT Mustang. Both original and very tidy. From New Zealand.

[vaughanq]

These videos with Detroit Speed have been by far the coolest reviews on cars I have seen on youtube, and I am saying this as a JDM guy. I wish I saw builds like these more often!

[jonathanwilson]

I’m about to start driving, my dad has a 66 coupe in the back of the garage, I promise to never stop admiring that car and will one day own it

[Ensaumneak]

I had a 1965 Mustang as my first car at 18. It was fun for a bit, but I'm glad I sold it. It would catastrophically break down every month like clockwork because I couldn't afford to properly restore it while in college. Oh, and it didn't have seat belts at all, lol. I wouldn't mind having another one as a project car in the future, but I'm more into JDM cars now like you mentioned in the intro.

[Toshirostar]

Bought a 1966 Mustang in July and turned 20 in August. The V8 Rips but im looking to ls swap it soon. Great vid!

[mktcorry]

I’m 27 and currently looking out my window at my 1966 mustang 🤤 this generation not being as interested in the older mustang are really missing out! By far my favorite car in my driveway

[FourSpeedFilms]

I am one of the few Gen Zs with a 1965 mustang🏁
