Up for sale we have a 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby 350 Carryover Clone.
The carryover Shelbys were built in late '65 due to a strike at
Ford. They offered options from both 1965 and 1966. The one we have
for you is a clone that had a complete resto that was done in 2015.
It's one of the built Mustangs we have ever owned and will make you
an excellent driver that's ready to enjoy or show!

We will start off with the exterior of this Mustang It retains the
factory sheet metal and when it was built the side scoops with vent
tubes were installed. Also, the fiberglass hood with the hood scoop
was installed. The roof vents were also replaced with port windows
that are plexiglass as they would have been originally. Down the
sides of this '65 are straight as an arrow and the doors have an
excellent fit with all the gaps being great. The body is covered in
the Wimbledon White that's accented by the Guardsman Blue Top
Stripes and blue side stripes. This Mustang has been buffed and
polished to a deep rich shine that's slick as ribbon. Both the
bumpers, tail light bezels, gas cap, front grill and even the turn
signal bezels are all like new. All the glass looks excellent and
the stainless around it is also in great condition. To finish off
the exterior it's sitting on the 15x6 Cragars that were built for
Shelby Cars and they have Cooper Cobra Tires.
On the inside, it's also done in the classic black which is how the
Shelbys came. Everything is like new from the seats, which have
been recovered and had the padding redone, to the Headliner that
has an excellent fit. The Door panels have also been replaced and
are in great condition. Also, the carpet was replaced along with
the seal plates. Looking at the dash it's got the GT Gauge cluster
that's all working from the 140 MPH Speedo to the Dash Mounted
Tach. This Mustang has the stock style shifter that was built to
work with the Five Speed Trans. A set of 2-point lap belts were
added along with a Shelby Wood Wheel and an aftermarket Tilt
Column.
Under the hood it's equally impressive, featuring a 289 that has
been upgraded with a set of 351 Heads and an aftermarket set of TRW
Aluminum Rockers. The intake is a reproduction Aluminum that looks
like a Shelby and is set up with a 570 Holley Carb. It's dressed
with a chrome breather and it also has Tall Cobra Valve Covers. The
Trans has been upgraded to Tremec Five Speed from Modern Drivelines
and has a Hydraulic Clutch. It's mated to the 9" Rear End, and for
exhaust it has custom Headers with 2 �" Exhaust and FlowMaster
Mufflers. Under the front of this 'Stang it has Tubular Control
Arms Top and Bottom from Chassic Works along with Coil Over Shocks
and a Large Sway Bar. It also has Power Rack and Pinon Steering
from Total Control Products. For brakes it has Disc up front and
Drum on the rear. Out back Traction bars were added and it has a
set of KONI Shocks. The frame and floors all appear rock solid, and
don't appear to have been patched. This is one of the best driving
Mustangs we've ever owned. If you're looking for something that
turns key ready to go then you won't want to miss this one!
