Ford Mustang Fastback is an iconic piece of American automotive
history, meticulously restored to combine vintage appeal with
modern performance upgrades, now offered as a GT Tribute. This
particular example stands out not only because it is a factory
California-built fastback but also due to its impressive
restoration that has brought it back to near-perfect condition. The
car's sleek Raven Black paint (code A) gives it a striking,
timeless presence, while the black bucket seat interior provides a
classic look that perfectly complements the exterior, offering both
style and comfort. This Mustang is a tribute to the GT model,
incorporating some of the high-performance elements that made the
original GT Fastbacks so revered. Under the hood, the car is
powered by the A-code 289 cubic inch V8 engine, which was rated at
225 horsepower when new. This 4-barrel carbureted engine is paired
with the factory 4-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging
driving experience that connects the driver to the road in a way
that only a vintage Mustang can. The throaty growl of the dual
exhaust enhances the car's sporty character, while the engine's
power delivery remains smooth and predictable, making it a joy to
drive. Whether cruising down the highway or navigating tight
corners, this Mustang offers a blend of raw power and refinement
that makes it both fun and practical for everyday use. One of the
standout features of this Mustang is the extensive restoration work
that has gone into it. The car comes with a comprehensive set of
receipts, which document the painstaking efforts to return it to
its original glory. The suspension has been upgraded with coilover
shocks, providing improved handling and a smoother ride than the
stock setup. Additionally, the car is equipped with front disc
brakes, offering superior stopping power and greater safety
compared to the original drum brake system. These upgrades are a
testament to the attention to detail and commitment to enhancing
the driving experience, ensuring that this Mustang performs as well
as it looks. For those who enjoy a bit of modern convenience with
their vintage muscle, this 1965 Mustang doesn't disappoint. Despite
its classic design, the car has been upgraded with air
conditioning, making it more comfortable to drive in a variety of
weather conditions. A retro-inspired stereo system has also been
added, allowing the driver and passengers to enjoy their favorite
tunes with improved sound quality, while still maintaining the
car's vintage aesthetic. These thoughtful upgrades provide a more
enjoyable driving experience, bridging the gap between the past and
present without compromising the Mustang's classic character. In
summary, this 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback GT Tribute is a
beautifully restored example of one of the most beloved muscle cars
of all time. With its factory California build, powerful 289ci V8
engine, and numerous upgrades, this car represents a perfect blend

timeless American muscle, this Mustang is sure to turn heads and
