Vehicle Description
This car is all about adding distinction and attraction to an
already impressive package. After all, beyond the Shelby elements
of this 1965 Ford Mustang GT350 tribute, there's still the
ultra-desirable first-year fastback underneath. That's why this
early pony car is a winner from every angle.
A Shelby-built GT350 will cost a fortune, and even a nice tribute
like this requires a major investment. So while they were busy
putting the work into making a snake-bitten coupe, it's also nice
to see some custom touches that really highlight the effort. It all
results in a car that looks mean and distinct, and it will also
standout in the Mustang crowd. There's just no mistaking the
original GT350 appearance. It starts with taking one of the rarest
and often most valuable of the three Mustang configurations, the
2+2 fastback, and making it look even better. This one was restored
to include a professional respray of its correct Rangoon Red paint.
Plus, the hood scoop, hood pins, and grille with offset pony are
icons from the years Shelby was building these out of his Los
Angeles factory. And those mag wheels even have Cobra center caps
for a detail-oriented total package. But it's instantly easy to
distinguish this '65 from across the show field. After all, when
was the last time you saw a GT350 in glowing red with the full
white competition stripe package? The result is a car that looks
correct and nicely presented while still being quite
distinctive.
Inside the aggressive red theme continues. But where the exterior
is built for competition, the interior is much more about comfort
and luxury. You know this the moment you open the door and lay eyes
on the restored plush bucket seats with premium center console
in-between. This has all the right vintage element - from the
fold-down rear seat to the correct matting in the trunk. But this
one is also great for modern cruising. The upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo
means always being able to match to soundtrack to the road, and the
cold R134a air conditioning will keep you feeling as cool as you
look in this fastback. And as you slip behind the upgraded wood and
chrome steering wheel, and spot the large AutoMeter tach, you
realize this one also has Shelby-worthy performance.
Under the hood is 289 cubic-inch V8 that's dressed to impress. It
has the bright air cleaner, matching valve covers, and even a
polished Monte Carlo bar. It's a tidy setup, so you can clearly see
the performance upgrades like the Holley four-barrel carburetor and
Edelbrock intake. Plus, the H-pipe the dual exhaust helps give this
total package more bark and bite. In fact, the whole coupe is setup
up to be a great anytime sports car with features like power
steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes,
and wide BF Goodrich T/As.
Now you understand the high level of investment that went into this
GT350 tribute. So beyond the great looks is a great build, which
makes this a fantastic buy. Call today!!!
