The one thing this Mustang has in common with John Wick’s car from the silver screen is that they both pretend to be Boss 429 models, where in fact, this started off as a 302-powered Mustang, while Wick’s ride was a Mach 1. 25 photos
It’s actually a funny story with the John Wick Mustang. Early in the first movie, when he is approached at the gas station, he never corrects the “Russian gentlemen” about his car not being a Boss 429, to which he also adds that it’s a 1969 model. Well, all 1969 Boss 429 Mustangs came with 4-speed manual gearboxes, whereas Wick’s has an automatic transmission.

When it arrived back in 1958, the Ford Galaxie was just another heavy, full-size rig from Detroit. But as the years went by, the Galaxie moved into muscle car territory, gaining the big 7.0-liter FE-series V8 in the 1960s. By 1967, the Galaxie 500 packed more than 350 horsepower, and curb weight was the only thing that kept it from being as quick as the Mustang. 1 photo
This 1967 Galaxie comes from that wonderful era, but it s no longer stock. The 7.0-liter FE V8 is gone, having been replaced with a smaller engine. It s a 302, which sounds very similar to the 4.9-liter Windsor that Ford used to offer back in the day, but it s a much newer powerplant, reportedly built in 1993. Ford still offered Windsor V8s back then, but they were a bit bigger at 5.0 liters.

And yet, despite shining bright like a diamond, this 1965 Mustang convertible features a change that some might not like. But more on this later.
First and foremost, this is a ’65 Mustang powered by a 289-ci (4.7-liter) V8 engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. And everything is running beautifully, which means the Mustang is ready to become your daily driver if that’s what you’re looking for.
According to Unique Specialty and Classics, the garage currently in charge of selling the car, the interior is in pretty good shape, and the carpeting, the dash, and the seats make no exception.
