Cruising through the Texas Hill Country in a rare gem, the 1965 Ford Mustang 289 convertible, we encounter a quirky blast from the past. With less than 1% of these beauties ordered with the bench seat, it’s like finding a unicorn in a sea of thoroughbreds. This vintage ’65 Mustang, equipped with a hearty 289 2bbl. V8 engine and a Cruise-O-Matic transmission, is more than just a ride—it’s a time machine on wheels. As we hit the road, the bench seat provides a surprising reminder of the good old days when comfort was king and style was effortless.
