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
