1965 Mustang Original Invoice... Don't Understand Some of the Listed Additions

cmdavis · 02-17-2008

I have a copy of the original invoice of my 1965 200 cid straight six 3 speed manual mustang. I am a little confused about parts of it and if anybody may know what they mean, I would really appreciate the help. It looks like it was typed up on a type writer under date delivered it says in different print 7-21-65, or the 21st of July 1965 along with some other stuff including who it was sold to. Then there is a line drawn and it goes on to have 2 columns, the price and the product. In the same font as date it says "1965 Fordd Mustant HT" then lists the price as $2536.57. The next line down reads Sales Tax and Doc Fees with a price of $55.00, and the line after that reads Lic and Insp for a price of $8.43. Below that is says "Add: AIR COND, T/W WINDSHIELD, O.S. TIRES, TUNE KEY with no price listed. The grand total was $2600. Also at the bottom it has a couple blanks like Door and Switch Key No. and Tire Key No. Can Any one explain to me what T/W Windshield means or O.S. tires, or Tune Key? Also, what is HT mean after the listed "Mustant"? And is it common for there to be mistakes on these invoices such as "Fordd"? I am just trying to understand better about where my mustang came from and everything that was added to it. Thanks for the help.

The H/T denotes hardtop. In other words, a coupe. The O/S tires, my best guess is "oversize" meaning the owner might have upgraded to a larger size. The stock size would have been 13 inch for a 1965 6 cylinder I believe, maybe they upgraded to the 695x14 tires that entry level V8 Mustangs had?

Hello

The window stickers and such were typed up by a secretary at the dealership, not by Ford, so yes, it is very common to see all sorts of goofy stuff on the paperwork.

My first guess would be that the dealership tinted the windshield instead of the factory T/W windshield thing. You could get just the upper part tinted or the entire thing, so I would imagine that this is Tint/Whole windshield as opposed to Tint/Upper . On the Tune Key I have no idea what that means.
