Looking for a driver's quality original Jack and handle for a 65 Mustang Fastback. Hoping someone has a spare they are willing to part with.

I could use one more, myself. Ebay has a bunch.

Yea, but everyone there thinks they are made of gold!

True.
If you just need a scissors type jack, one from a later model car may suffice and a four-way lug wrench or a breaker bar with a 13/16" socket would be more durable than the original ratcheting type. For originality, you'll have to pay the premium I guess. There are subtle differences in the 65 jacks and in some subsequent years into the 70s, with the top notch piece, the rivets, etc. The original handles tend to bend when someone has overtightened the lugs.

There are differences in the 1965 1966 handle, and also the jack itself.

Are you looking for one for basically a trunk display or functional. The original set up is NOT a good usable system.

I have handles and jacks.

Looking for trunk display. This will be a local weekend cruiser. Wouldn’t expect the jack to actually be used. Just needs to look decent, but not perfect.

Editing this as I misspoke on the differences in the Jack Handles And added pics. Thanks to Mustangerbob for pointing out My mistake.

Thanks guys, I found a late 65/66 Ratchet handle and 67-70 style jack.
66C the difference between the early and late handles is the handle. For early cars, it came with a "U"-shaped handle (the style now being reproduced); a later running change crimped this closed into a tube shape -- possibly in hopes that it would strengthen the handle so it wouldn’t bend like mine did.

Here is mine early style handle

Here is a later closed style.

The early and late 65/66 jacks differ in the length of the flip top portion.

I screenshot these images several months ago since I did not know the differences.
