Vehicle Description
No one will ever mistake this 1965 Ford Mustang fastback restomod
for anything stock. But for the few who don't see the paint, the
wheels, or any of the other new aggressive touches, the race-ready
fuel-injected 520ci V8 will teach them a lesson to take notice.
You are looking at a full fresh build that was completed in 2019
and has gone less than 500 miles since then. They started with one
of the most desirable pony cars around - a first-year fastback -
and they turned it into a true dark horse. After all, that metallic
gray is deeper than even the Eleanor coupes, and the sleek black
upper section seems to absorb the sunlight (that goes double for
the cool matte black on the cowl hood!) While the crisp lines of
the Mustang are used to divide the two colors, this also has a
vibrant green pinstripe to make sure this has a well-defined
border. The paint is amazing, but it also takes an excellent body
for this kind of award-worthy look. With such precision panels, and
most of the trim deleted, it brings a whole new dimension to the
original Mustang's lines we've never seen before. The
competition-style torque thrust wheels add some Bullitt-level
flair, but when you see how wide the rear ones are, you know this
is a whole different kind of cool.
A fresh build means a clean interior. The full black package is
tidy, and there are comfort upgrades like a tilt steering column,
power steering, and cup holder center console. There's even an
AM/FM/CD/XM stereo with Bluetooth. But what you really notice about
this interior are all the upgrades that makes it a
competition-ready machine. The rear seat has been removed for the
tubbed rear end and to help fit the full race cage. The front seats
are now modern Sparco racing buckets with G-Force five-point
harnesses. You have a Grant sports steering wheel, crisp AutoMeter
gauges, and have you counted the gears on the shifter yet?
The reason why this one looks so mean has to do with the engine
bay. Those who know Ford performance dream of Jon Kaase's Boss Nine
motors. Not only do you have a 460 cubic-inch crate V8 from the
master, but this was actually enlarged to a street-dominating
520ci. It's a fully-built package that has been fortified and
enhanced with Diamond pistons, SCAT rods, fully ported & polished
cylinder heads, Fel-Pro gaskets, Boss Nine head bolts, Boss Nine
aluminum heads, Comp Cams camshaft, Crane roller lifters, JKRE
pushrods, and a Boss Nine intake machined for direct port fuel
injection. It's a monster package that's also supported by the
right pieces, including upgraded pulleys, a full MSD ignition
package, and a large aluminum radiator. The headers were a nearly
$2k investment all on their own, but they are worth it when you
hear the thunder this custom coupe brings. There was over $7k
invested to get a performance-built Tremec T56 six-speed manual
transmission, and it includes a McLeod Tilton Hydraulic throwout
bearing. It feeds a strong Currie 9-inch rear to deliver power to
those massive Hoosier rear tires. The full package is complete with
tubular A-arms up front, a four-link rear, and a strong four-wheel
disc brake setup.
Complete with build receipts, this is the classic that's not for
the faint of heart or the Sunday driver. But if you're looking for
the ultimate street villain to give everyone else nightmares, this
classic Mustang is the dark horse of your dreams. Call now!
