I found a 65 mustang in pretty good shape. It has a 289 4v engine with 225 hp. It has the dual exhaust coming out where the reverse lights would be. The badging is all gone, and I can't find out if it is a 2+2 or not. Please help

 

i have a 65 fastback 2+2. but if it is a fastback it is a 2+2. all that means is it has 2 seats in the front and 2 seats in the back all fastbacks had the 2+2, in 1965. so if thats a fastback thats worth getting.

 

2+2 just varies by the roof line (it's another way of saying fastback basically)

The first one is a 2+2 and the second one isnt...

thanks for your help.i hope i am gonna get it we just have to discuss a price with the seller now

 

Those guys pretty much explained it to my knowledge, good luck!

 

If it's a 2+2 "A" code in good condition, you best take a boat load of money with you.

 

it is an a code engine. what is so special about it

 

Mustangs back then had different codes of mostly engines in them. The T code was a 6 cylinder, the C code was a V8 with a 2V carb, the A code was a 4V engine and the K code was the very special engine with 271 HP. So, it is the second most sought after engine for that time period.

 

I know what the engine codes are but i didn't know that it was the second best

 

Yep the K-code is the most sought after engine.
The A-code is still a good engine.
