Vehicle Description
This 1965 Mustang 2+2 Fastback GT350 Tribute is presented in
Wimbledon White with Black Crinkle Vinyl interior. It was built in
Dearborn,MI on December 20, 1965 the D.S.O was(71) Los Angeles and
by the trim tag It says it should have a 289ci 4v V8 HiPo
engine(but has not been verified) backed by a Tremec 5 speed
transmission that replaced the original 4-speed manual and the trim
tag also says it should have a 3.89:1 gear. It comes with a
customized Roll cage with Simpson 5 point seat belts. The rear end
is a Detroit locker with a possible 3.89:1 but we cannot verify.
This Mustang was built to run vintage-style racing. It has a
working pod in the dash for the Tach and oil pressure. The car was
purchased from a local owner in NC and the trim tag says its a K
code Mustang, but we CANNOT VERIFY THIS. This is why we contacted
the NCDMV and it now has an NC Assigned Vin Number. The Ford
Mustang was originally named for the fighter plane, the P-51
Mustang and later the horse Mustang became the emblem. Buyers loved
its low price, long hood, short trunk styling, and its many options
and Ford loved its high volume sales. In mid-1964, Ford introduced
the sporty 2+2 fastback body style to go along with the hardtop
coupe and convertible. Enthusiasts also cheered the new 'K-code'
271bhp 289 cid V8 that finally put some performance to match the
Mustang's good looks. For those that wanted more, the legendary
Carroll Shelby and Ford collaborated to produce the Shelby GT-350.
This was a fastback specially tuned by Shelby. The 289 V8 produced
306bhp in street tune and around 360bhp in special GT-350R race
tune. These Shelby's had no back seat, were only available in white
and were fully race-ready. Please contact Kennith Stewart at
