This 1965 Ford Mustang GT is a K-code fastback a refurbishment that was completed in 2019. The car was subsequently honored with the Mustang Club of America Prestige and the AACA Senior Grand National awards. It has won 10 MCA Gold awards in the Concours Trailered class, was awarded its Blue Medallion in September 2023, and earned its most recent Gold award at the MCA 60th Mustang Anniversary show in April 2024.

The car features the GT equipment package as well as 14″ styled steel wheels, front disc brakes, Rally-Pac gauges, and a push-button AM/FM radio.
