Vehicle Description
Yes, this 1965 Ford Mustang is truly as cool as it looks and
sounds. After all, when you add a supercharger to a
performance-built 302 V8, update every square inch (including the
suspension,) and then paint the whole project in a slick metallic
blue, you are going to create one of the most unique and powerful
first-generation Mustangs around.
It's ok to say "WOW!", because everyone else will, too. This full
custom build is part of a rotisserie restoration completed in 2012,
and the car has gone less than 1,500 miles since then. The
investment in the deep metallic blue and all that clear coat is
worth the price alone. Once you get this coupe out in the sunlight,
it will radiate color to outshine just about any other classic
around it. But don't get too focused on the paint, or you might
miss some fantastic details. For example, the bumpers have been
polished so they can rival the blue for shine. Plus, this coupe has
plenty of cool upgrades that keep the Mustang's iconic heritage in
mind. For example, the triple-rocker stripe is a great GT touch.
And the first few years of the GT350s inspired the grille with
offset Mustang emblem and the hood with dual air scoops. But
elements like the Supercharged silver rear panel with custom
taillight enclosures and the large 18-inch US Mags wheels are clear
indication that this classic is blazing its own path, too.
Inside this one has all the right premium and performance upgrades.
It starts with a set of Procar bucket seats that offer superior
modern bolstering and even the Mustang pony logo stitched into the
leather seatback. You've got some great comfort features like the
tall center armrest w/cup holders, power steering, and AM/FM/CD
stereo with Bluetooth and a large display for satellite navigation.
There are even provisions for air conditioning. But this custom
coupe is far from just a coddler - after all, there's Carroll
Shelby signature on the glovebox. Your right hand will instantly be
attracted to the B&M Pro Stick shifter, and your left one gets
a grippy sports steering wheel. Beyond that is a full set of
AutoMeter gauges, including that important boost one on the
A-pillar.
While you already have seen some great investments in this car, we
know the moment you pop the hood, you'll see your favorite. That
shiny Weiand 174 supercharger looks great, and more importantly, it
gives this a serious upgrade in muscle (estimated at about 500hp.)
With the ability to dial-in some serious power, the rest of the V8
was fortified and enhanced to give the best in all-around
performance. It starts with a Dart Iron Eagle 302 Short block
($8,500 alone), this was built with Dart Aluminum heads, Ford
Racing crankshaft, Clevite 77 rods, Clevite main bearings, I-beam
connecting rods w/ARP bolts, heavy duty forged flat top pistons,
Cloyes three-piece true double roller timing set, custom
performance camshaft, chrome moly pushrods, March serpentine
system, MSD ignition, and topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor. There are plenty more upgrades to list, but we just
simply don't have the room to tell you all about this awesome motor
here (give us a call and we'll go through it all!) Just know the
moment the dual exhaust gives a rumble and the supercharger
produces its buzz, this will be a truly awesome experience that you
and everyone within earshot won't forget. Making sure you've got
complete control over this total power package is a four-speed AOD
transmission that has been built for this power - including a shift
kit and manual mode. Don't forget to check out the undercarriage
photos. There you'll see terrific upgrades like the TCI Mustang
II-style front end with tubular control arms and ultra-strong the
TCI three-link torque arm rear. Plus, you have adjustable coilovers
and disc brakes behind each wheel to compete this total control
package.
We have restoration photos and a ton of receipts totaling over $80k
invested in this build. So you know this is the kind of deal that
only comes around once in a lifetime. How cool is it to drive a
fully-built supercharged '65 Mustang? You'll never know unless you
call today!
