Vehicle Description
MAJOR PRICE DROP!! A stunning 1965 SHELBY GT350 Tribute (No, it’s not a real Shelby). This build began by finding an original 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback body which was 100% complete with no patchwork, or rust issues whatsoever. Original sheet metal was taken down to bare metal, the chassis was completely media sand blasted & painted.Factory spot welds were completely re-welded throughout, to strengthen the front & rear ends. Dynamat sound deadening liners were used throughout the car. Professionally painted in PEPPER GREY (PPG base coat/clear coat) w/ Black stripes. The original front & rear bumpers were completely sandblasted and painted to match the car, a cool added touch. The hood scoop is and side-mounted air-cooling ducts are 100% functional to help keep the brakes nice and cool. A set of running lights were custom installed in the center below the front bumper, & headlights were upgraded using Halogen bulbs. This PONY sits on custom 17” Shelby aluminum wheels tires (245/40/ZR17 up front and 315/35/R17 Extreme Drag Radials on the rear). Beautifully detailed undercarriage w/ all brand new components throughout, including: Total Performance front end, 4-link Total Performance rear end, coil-over shocks, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a large fuel cell w/fuel pump.

NOS tank (mounted in the rear), all-new wiring harness w/ blackout switches, and more! The custom-built roll cage is very unobtrusive & hardly noticeable. Under the hood, nestled inside the nicely detailed engine bay, resides a custom-built 351 Windsor stroked, which produces 500hp at the crank! There was a complete rebuild on the short block, the rotating assembly came with the motor. A hydraulic roller comp. cam was installed and the degree was set. The duration is 230-236 at 0.050” with .513 lift on the intake and .529 lift on the exhaust. Lobe center on the cam is 110 deg. Hydraulic roller lifters & springs to match the cam shaft. The heads were machined to accept and handle the cam. Once the engine shop assembled the motor they set up the carburetor & tuned the engine. The compression ratio is around 9.5 to 1. Features include: Custom 5-speed transmission and shifter, custom-built headers, custom 3.5” jet-coated exhaust with mufflers, custom posi rear-end, custom 4 wheel disc brakes, power steering, Shelby GT350 body kit, tinted windshield, CARROLL SHELBY signed glove box, custom engine gauges, custom engine electronics, Shelby GT steering wheel, custom AM gauges and tachometer, GT mirrors, custom read-end bars, sub-frame connectors, custom front strut support, custom radiator and cooling fan – which helps to keep this Pony running nice & cool, even in hot summer weather, NOS System (an extra 100hp is added to the mix, which brings overall horsepower to 600hp) added but not connected, and back-up lights. This awesome custom-built power-plant is linked to a brand new Tremec TKO 600 5-speed transmission (custom built scatter shield bellhousing, dual disc clutch rated @ 2000hp, hydraulic throw out bearing), which feeds all of that power to a custom-built Ford rear end. The entire driveline is heavily beefed up to handle anything that you throw at it! This awesome machine is not just an unforgettable car, it runs and drives beautifully and is very, very fast!
