Current value of a mint 1965 Mustang?

They always seem harder to find than Mustang

Definitely, I noticed the same over the years !

cool ! I picked up one just like this, but with more checked finish few small dings for $1400 in DC last year.

I have to get it outside for some good detail shots in a few days. This thing is one of the cleanest Mustangs I've ever seen.

"Near perfect" overall, "mint case", "chrome is perfect" is very rare on these. I think that what you really mean by this is important to value. Is it really a closet classic? Basically no wear, no checking (not that checking's bad but it's just very uncommon not to have it), no pitting or wear on the chrome, no buckle rash, nut is not worn, electronics all work perfectly, etc.? And does it have the original trem arm? About 70% of Mustangs of that era don't, whatever condition they're in.

If it's yes to all that, then yeah I think $1,800-$2,000 is a fair ask. Maybe even a bit more. That would be a guitar of that year in really hard to find condition.

Yes, I'd say it fits your above criteria of a closet classic...see link above.
