1965 marked a pivotal and unforgettable year for the American people as it would be the year U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson would officially declare war and send troops into Vietnam to fight against the communist regime. The decision would not be taken well by everyone, as it would spark protests and riots across the country. Many saw this fight as one that was not ours, as it was hard to portray the “good” versus “evil” within Vietnam. As much division as there was that year there would be one thing bringing the American people closer together, the freshly released Ford Mustang. Introduced just eight months prior, the Mustang quickly became America’s sports car. As the war would evolve, so would the Mustang, as it quickly became the face of American-made pride on the road.

Adding to the good vibes that the next owner will feel once they purchase this truly special Mustang, proceeds from the sale will benefit the nonprofit J. Kruse Education Center Career Coaching Academy and be used for scholarships for veterans transitioning out of service to discover meaningful and purposeful careers. These scholarships will ensure that our veterans who have sacrificed so greatly for America, and have already paid a huge price, do not have to pay as they reintegrate into civilian life on a path to peace and fulfillment, just as enjoyed by all those who they so bravely fought for.

If you look up the word ‘badass’ in the dictionary, don’t be surprised when you see a photo of this exact Mustang. Positioned right alongside the allies in Nam, this 1967 Ford Mustang “Vietnam Fastback” with its solid history of owners from new, is a special and rare collectible that will greatly enhance your collection and the lives of countless veterans and their families.
