1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Tribute
Garage Kept Motors is pleased to offer this beautiful Shelby GT350
Fastback Tribute. A little extra flair in the styling department
gave the GT350 Mustangs some more visual interest than the standard
Fastback Coupes. Not only was the curb appeal enhanced, the
horsepower was definitely more exciting than the rest of the
Mustang line-up. The exampled offered here for consideration has
GT350 looks and horsepower without the big GT350 price tag.
Bright Red paint hugging all the curves of this Mustang is hard to
miss. Add black racing stripes and this Mustang will be turning
heads wherever it goes. Part of the weight savings on the original
GT350 was achieved using a fiberglass hood with a steel frame. This
car uses a fiberglass hood and trunk-lid, both wearing the
traditional racing stripes.
The powerplant under the hood is the original 'C' coded 289 V8 that
has been rebuilt and upgraded to produce more power. Rebuilt to .30
over and includes a 600 CFM 4-Barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock
intake manifold, Lunati camshaft, new crank assembly, and pointless
ignition. All that engine work equates to the engine now pumping
out approximately 300 horsepower which puts it right in line with
the power of a true '65 GT350. Connected to the power-plant is a
4-speed manual.
A pretty traditional interior includes a deep dish Mustang steering
wheel, black vinyl bucket seats, and center console. Upgrades to
the interior come in the form of 6 aftermarket white faced gauges,
and a Hurst shifter. It also has brand new rubber on period correct
wheels. The car fires on command and runs extremely well. Only 277
miles have been recorded since the restoration was completely in
2015. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our main
website: Garage Kept Motors. Call if interested or e-mail with any
questions. Thank you for looking.
