eBay Find of the Day: 1965 Ford Mustang Wagon - Click above for image gallery
Intermeccanica may be best known today for producing its Roadster, a Porsche (http://autoblog.com/make/porsche) 356 replica. Years ago, however, the company built a handful of uniquely styled automobiles for a variety of customers. One of those customers was the W.J. Thompson Advertising Agency, which commissioned a Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang) station wagon to be shown off to Blue Oval brass. The Ford execs never went forward creating a Mustang wagon of their own, but a few other folks did. The one you see here was built by Joe Ramp, and you can put it in your garage because it's for sale.
Starting with a 1965 Mustang hardtop coupe, Ramp stretched out the roof and created custom rear side glass along with the fabricated D-pillars. The builder tried to retain as much as the stock body as possible, so the rest of the car is all Ford-built Mustang.
Builder Joe Ramp decided to upgrade the powertrain in order to better haul around the extra bit of weight. A 5.0-liter V8 sits underhood and is paired with a T5 five-speed manual gearbox. The power is routed to an eight-inch Ford rear-end and 3.00 gears. Custom control arms and upgraded shocks help the Mustang handle any cargo placed out back.
The car appears to be a clean example of what could have been. RK Motors of Charlotte, North Carolina has listed the car for sale on eBay, with a Buy It Now price of $59,990 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Incredible-1965-Ford-Mustang-Station-Wagon-5-0L-5-Speed-/280693614087?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item415aa4a607#ht_12027wt_961). Currently, the bidding sits at $15,100, with an unmet reserve.
