You are looking at a RECREATION 1965 SHELBY GT350
Tribute Vehicle. No it’s not the real Shelby! The idea to build a
Tribute Shelby GT350 was conceived from the 2000 year
release of the movie, “GONE IN 60 SECONDS”.
I call it “ELEANOR’s” – Kid Sister...
The end result is nothing short of breathtaking! A 1965 Ford
Mustang 2+2, 2 Door fastback - truly One-Of-A-Kind Custom Built
GT-350 Custom Recreation Tribute Automobile, over four years in the
works. It houses a custom built Ford 351 cu in engine that puts out
over 500 HP with a cat. 5-speed transmission and shifter.
The end result is nothing short of breathtaking!
Happy to offer you this absolutely gorgeous 1965 Shelby GT350
Recreation Vehicle! All you really need to do is to look closely at
the photos to see that the owner achieved his goal and so much
more. His quest began by finding an original 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2
Fastback body which was 100% complete with absolutely no patchwork,
or rust issues whatsoever. All of the original sheet metal was
taken down to bare metal, the chassis was completely media sand
blasted and painted. All of the factory spot welds were completely
re-welded throughout, mainly to strengthen the front and read ends.
Dynamat sound deadening liners were used throughout the entire car.
She was then finished in PEPPER GREY (PPG base coat/clear coat) w/
Black stripes. This no-expense spared $$$ FIVE FIGURE $$$
professional paint job is second to none, period! The
undercarriage is beautifully detailed 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 with afuel pump.
Open the driver’s door and you will find a beautiful custom black
interior with mainly original aesthetics built for comfort, safety,
as well as functionality. Features include: painted dash w/ all
factory original gauges (fully restored), Auto Meter tachometer
(dash-mounted), custom-built one-off 6-point roll cage, Custom
Shelby leather racing seats, racing Lap Belts, Shelby GT steering
wheel. Custom stereo with custom speakers, 10 Lb. NOS tank
(mounted in the rear), all-new wiring harness w/ blackout switches,
and on & on! The custom-built roll cage is very unobtrusive &
hardly noticeable. The interior retains its original look & feel,
especially the speedometer and the gauges, an important
quality.
ENGINE:
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. 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, 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 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! As you can imagine,
this awesome machine runs and drives beautifully and is very, very
fast!
