Ford rolls out a reproduction body shell for the 1965 Mustang convertible
**Ford Mustang fans now have another
option to preserve or create a firstgeneration car--a reproduction body
shell of the 1965 Mustang convertible.
**Ford has licensed Dynacorn Inc. of
California to produce new body shells
of the '65 Mustang. Depending on the
choice of powertrain and trim, the body
shell can be completed to specifications
for a 1964 ½, '65 or '66 Mustang.
**―The 1964-66 Mustang is the most
restored vintage vehicle,‖ said Dennis
Mondrach, Ford Restoration Parts
licensing manager. ―But the number of original 1964-66 bodies is shrinking every year. Most of
the original Mustangs left in scrap yards are rusted or wrecked beyond repair.‖
**The shell is built with modern welding techniques and comes rustproofed and ready for paint.
Ford says suppliers of restoration parts must meet or exceed fit, finish and quality of original.
That's why the Mustang body shell is constructed of higher-grade steel than the original,
according to Ford. The company allows suppliers to work off old technical drawings, blueprints
and specifications for parts.
**Once the shell is bought, the powertrain, suspension and brakes, the electrical systems, the
interior and the trim can be transferred from an existing car or bought new from the Fordapproved parts bin. Almost every piece needed to build a complete Mustang is now available
from suppliers.
**The '65 Mustang body shell is in production now and can be delivered by truck to any
address, including to a home. It comes with the doors, trunk lid and all the sheetmetal from the
radiator support to the taillight panel. The only pieces it doesn't include are the hood and front
fenders, which are available separately. The Mustang body shell starts at $15,000.
**Ford displayed the 1965 body shell at SEMA this year in Las Vegas. The company also has
licensed complete body shells for the 1967-68 and 1969-70 fastback models.
