Vehicle Description
We're all on the lookout for a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback because
these are the ideal icon of classic American speed. It only gets
better on an example that was restored less than 1,700 miles ago to
deliver a slick and seriously speedy pony. So dig into the details
on all the upgrades, including the six-speed transmission and
performance-built 393 V8.
Crisp lines, great detailing, and sporty sheetmetal make this one
timeless. The Patriot Blue is close cousin to 1965's Caspian Blue,
and it has the sleek clearcoat look of quality. It delivers a first
impression that's both sleek and sophisticated, and that's exactly
what you want on upgraded machine like this. The paint is great for
highlighting the fastback's dramatic long hood/short deck design.
When they invested in the paint and body, they also made sure that
the brightwork had extra shine to go with the glossy finish. Plus,
these always had the best profiles with the race-ready rear window
slats. The full white stripe package on the rockers and running
over the top add to this competition attitude. And it's hard to
miss some of the very sporty upgrades. The fog lights in the grille
and Mag-style wheels are the kind of thing you'd expect on a
Mustang GT back in the day. And the huge power bulge of the cowl
hood also tells everyone that this is far more than just a sharply
restored fastback.
The interior continues the exterior's blue and white color theme,
and so it's quite striking from the moment you open the door. There
are some nice vintage elements, including the fold-down rear seat,
but what will really impress you are all the well-integrated
upgrades. For example, the front bucket seats are high-back units
borrowed from a much younger generation Mustang, but they have been
recovered to blend in here nicely. And beneath the new carpeting is
proper Dynamat insulation. The stereo has a retro knob-style look,
but it's a modern AM/FM digital tuner featuring Bluetooth and a USB
input. This has an awesome driver's setup with a bright Pro 5.0
shifter, wood-rimmed Lecarra sports steering wheel, and a full
AutoMeter Phantom gauge package with large speedo and tach.
When you pop the hood, the tidy setup and fortified components
instantly signal upgraded power. The consignor states this is a 351
cubic-inch V8 stroked to 393ci total that was professionally
balanced. More than just monster displacement, this has the right
go-fast goodies like Edelbrock aluminum heads, Comp Cams 270
hydraulic camshaft, Cloyes True Roller dual timing chain, Magnum
roller rocker arms, ATI harmonic balancer, Edelbrock Performer RPM
air gap intake, and topped with a Holley 750 CFM four-barrel
carburetor. It even has the right supporting components, like a
Holley fuel pump, MSD ignition, and a Griffin four-core aluminum
radiator w/electric fan. You have full control over this big power
motor better than anyone else did in '65 thanks to the upgrade to a
T56 six-speed manual transmission. This has been reinforced with a
McLeod aluminum flywheel, twin disc clutch, and pressure plate.
This feeds a custom DSS driveshaft on its way to the Detroit Locker
rear end. The undercarriage photos show fresh components, boxed
frame connectors, traction bars, adjustable shocks, and front disc
brakes. So this is an awesome all-around driving package.
Here's a rare and speedy fastback that has the enhanced V8 to back
up its enhanced appearance. A package like this will always be in
short supply and high demand, so you better hurry if you want to
make it yours. Call today!!!
