Under the hood is a 289 CID V-8 (C-Code) engine with Edelbrock dress kit, intake manifold and carburetor plus headers and dual exhausts. This motor is linked to a C-4 three-speed automatic transmission (code 6) and a 3.00:1 rear end (code 1). Driver convenience features include power steering and power brakes.

Inside, there is a black vinyl interior (code 86). The front buckets and rear bench area in very good order, as is the matching carpet. The three-spoke steering wheel looks ready for top-down adventures. The inner door panels and instrument panel are all in very good order. A floor shifter and an aftermarket AM/FM stereo with cassette deck and two speakers mounted within the inside rear quarter panels complete the interior.

Several changes to the Mustang occurred at the start of the “normal” 1965 model year in August 1964, about four months after its introduction. These cars are known as “late 65s.” The engine lineup changed, with a 200 CID “T-code” engine. A new “C-code” 289 CID engine with a two-barrel carburetor as the base V-8. An “A-Code” four-barrel carbureted version was next in line, followed by the unchanged 289 Hi-Po “K-code” equipped with a four-barrel Autolite 4100 carburetor. The DC electrical generator was replaced by a new AC alternator on all Fords (a way to distinguish a 1964 from a 1965 is to see if the alternator light on the dash says “GEN” or “ALT”).

The standard interior features of the 1965 Mustang included adjustable driver and passenger bucket seats, an AM radio, and a floor-mounted shifter in a variety of color options. Ford added additional interior options during the 1965 model year. The Interior Decor Group was popularly known as "Pony Interior" due to the addition of embossed running ponies on the seat fronts, and included integral armrests, woodgrain appliqué accents, and a round gauge cluster that would replace the standard Falcon instrumentation. Also available were sun visors, a (mechanical) remote-operated mirror, a floor console, and a bench seat. Ford later offered an under-dash air-conditioning unit and discontinued the vinyl with cloth insert seat option, offered only in early 1965 models.
