Vehicle Description
We're not sure if we should call this a resto-mod, or just the
ultimate classic 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2. But you don't need a
definition to recognize that the ultra-slick paint, fuel-injected
racing motor, five-speed, and a whole lot of other quality features
that make this custom build the coolest fastback around.
The customization of this Mustang is apparent from every angle. It
starts up front with the GT-style fog light grille, modern bright
headlights, and the front valance borrowed from the GT350 racers.
The triple rocker stripes are something we love on any performance
pony. Plus, the large 17-inch American Racing wheels give this
iconic classic a modern and intimidating stance. There's only about
1,200 miles on this car since its full restoration. You can tell
they took their time to get the details right on everything from
the mirror-like bumpers to the side slats. And the fresh coat of
sliver paint highlights all of the iconic curves of this first-year
fastback - so it really does look like precious metal.
Inside the classic details meet modern aggression in this red and
black interior. The black leather Recaro racing seats offer the
kind of superior bolstering you could never get in '65. Plus, the
rear seats have been replaced to make room for the full modern
stereo system that includes an AM/FM/CD receiver, plenty of
speakers, and an integrated subwoofer. There's even cold air
conditioning to keep you comfortable. But far from a pure coddler,
this is a true driver's machine. You see it in upgraded full
AutoMeter Phantom gauge panel, and have you counted the gears on
the stick shift yet?
Under the hood of this Ford icon is another blue oval legend - but
a much more modern one. The bright intake announces this is a
5.0-liter fuel-injected Cobra motor. In fact, this is a Boss 302
bought from Roush Yates Racing Engines. Oh yeah, the masters for
NASCAR are also the ones behind this power plant! This monster
motor is also backed up by the correct supporting components like
an MSD distributor, aluminum radiator, and large electric fan.
Plus, the growl of the H-pipe dual exhaust lets everyone know
you've got something superior under the hood. Best of all, you have
complete control over this powerful V8 and its thunderous
soundtrack thanks to the Tremec five-speed manual transmission from
Keisler Engineering. As you look at how clean the undercarriage
photos are, you can really tell that there are less than 1,300
miles on this one since completing restoration. While you're
looking down there, don't forget to spot all the performance
driving upgrades, such as the Heidts Mustang II-style front end
with tubular A-arms. In the rear, there's a major upgrade to a
four-link with adjustable coilovers. Plus, power steering, a big
four-wheel disc brake upgrade, and the modern grip of BF Goodrich
gForce Super Sport tires create a classic fastback with modern
moves.
The sale comes with restoration photos and a thick file of
receipts. In fact, there are so many upgrades, that we just don't
have the room to go over all of it here. But give us a call, and
we'll give you all the details on this one-of-a-kind street
machine. Call now!
