Driver-quality cars with recent mechanical work tend to fall in the **$27k–$35k** range, while well-sorted examples with desirable upgrades like vintage air conditioning, power disc brakes, and a refreshed 289 V8 can approach or exceed **$40,000**.

The specific vehicle we're discussing is listed at **$41,995**, which sits right at the top of the comparable range for 1965 Mustang Hardtops.
