Offered here is something truly extraordinary a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe in rare Springtime Yellow, believed to be one of the most original surviving examples on the planet.

The Story:
This Mustang was delivered new to Haberfelde Ford in Bakersfield, California, where it was kept as a dealer demo / showroom display car from 1965 until the early 2000s. In 2005, a young enthusiast finally acquired it and treated it as a trailer queen, showcasing the car at events and concours displays where it went on to collect numerous trophies thanks to its time-capsule condition.

Today, it still shows just 13,789 original miles. Even more impressively, it retains remarkable period details like original factory stickers and dealership delivery markings, making it a true survivor that tells its story through untouched authenticity.
