That is a very cool car. I do have a few potential options for you, but we do not carry a custom fit hitch for a '65 Mustang.

We do offer a few universal weld on hitches that you may be able to use. For example the Curt # C13702 can be adjusted to fit frames 18" to 51" wide. This is something that would need to be taken to a shop and fabricated to fit the back of your car.

After doing a bit of research, it looks like Ford Motor Company used to make an OEM hitch for mustang 1965-1969. This is not a part we offer here but I have seen mention of them online in several places. If you are able to find one it may be easier than having something fabricated.
