Sitting in front of the TV watching football, so let me dissect the ad.
65 PONY MUSTANG - ?
HAS THE ORIGINAL 289 400 plus hp -nope
ORIGINAL PONY CUSTOM LEATHER - nope
TIRES ORIGINAL - nope
RIMS ORIGINAL - nope
APPRAISED AT $25,000 - self appraisal?
Ahh, he never said they were on the car guys, they're probably in the garage and included in the sale. I'm just saying. Probably not original tires but orignal style/size.
You can have the original 289 block that makes 400 hp. This is less likely and unless he is a terrible salesman I would think you would advertise stroker etc. I'm not buying that.
All that money & time and he can't spend 19.95 for a dash bezel? This one looks definately original, with the optional "no chrome". Were radials original equipment? Or Cragars?

It could be 400 HP. That is a mighty big air cleaner.

On the original tire question. I'm fairly confident that Firestone did not make the Firehawk tire in 1965. Further, raised white letter tires (other than the Goodyear Blue Streak racing tires) were not factory issued until about 1969 and even then, it was bias ply (such as Goodyear Polyglas and Firestone Wide Oval) I don't believe that the radial tires offered back then had the raised white letters.

Actually, it doesn't look like a bad car. Priced a little high, but too much 'original' stuff to sound credible (not to mention that 400 HP 289).
