Factory option

1965 Mustang

Back-up lights were optional equipment during the early Mustang period rather than an automatic assumption on every car. Correct housings, wiring, transmission switch, and rear-valance details help distinguish an original installation from a later addition.

No defensible 1965 factory installation count has been recovered.
