There’s a new sweepstakes aimed directly at classic car enthusiasts—and Modern Car Collector readers get more entries to win, increasing the chances that one of our own ends up behind the wheel.
The prize is a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible, finished in Rangoon Red, a color that defined the early pony car era. Valued at approximately $50,000, this example has been restored and equipped to capture both the look and feel that made the Mustang an instant icon.
Under the hood sits an A-code 289 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor, paired with an automatic transmission. It’s a combination built for easy cruising rather than outright aggression—exactly how many of these cars were enjoyed when new.
Inside, the car features a red Deluxe Pony interior, one of the more recognizable and desirable factory trims. It’s further equipped with factory air conditioning, along with a Rally Pak featuring a tachometer and clock, adding both function and period-correct detail.
The white power convertible top gives the car its defining open-air appeal, while Styled Steel wheels and dual exhaust round out the classic Mustang look and sound.
This giveaway isn’t just about the car. Proceeds support the Mustang Club of America, an organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of the original pony car. It’s worth noting that, as a 501(c)(7), donations tied to entries are not tax-deductible.
Participants who enter are also added to a VIP pool, which includes access to bonus promotions, additional giveaways, and surprise entry opportunities throughout the campaign.
For Mustang enthusiasts—or anyone drawn to one of the most recognizable American cars ever built—this sweepstakes offers a straightforward proposition: a chance at a classic convertible with real historical appeal, and better odds for those following along here.
