Top Speed and 1/4 mile Questions

[KW's65]

Does anyone know the top speed and the quarter milefor a '65 coupe 200ci when it was new. Also is there any expert info on this and also what would those speeds be when it has 115K miles on it.

i dont have the mustang numbers, but for 1963 a falcon futura convertable, weighing in at 2754lbs, ran the 1/4 in 22.7 secs at 64 mph, with a top speed at around 95 mph. figuring the mustang coupe to be a bit lighter, and with the 200 being a bit more powerful, figure about a 21.5 1/4 at around 67mph and a top speed around 100 mph.
