For Sale: 1965 Ford Mustang in Fredericksburg, Texas

Welcome to Street Dreams Texas as we celebrate our 27th year in the classic and muscle car business. Since 1999, we've specialized in putting dreams in driveways - and this one is the kind of dream that shows up loud, fast, and unapologetic. Feast your eyes on this wicked 1965 Shelby GT350-H Tribute, one of the wildest Mustangs we've had the pleasure of driving. The H refers to Hertz, the century-old rental car company that partnered with Shelby American in 1966 to supply high-performance Mustangs for its Sports Car Club program - a partnership forever linked with Carroll Shelby. While most originals were finished in black and gold, a handful were delivered in other colors - including 61 red cars without stripes - making the history as cool as the cars themselves. This gorgeous '65 captures that iconic black-and-gold presence - but what's under the hood is where this car separates itself from the past. Modern Muscle Beneath a Classic Hood Lift the scooped fiberglass hood and you'll find a Ford 5.0L DOHC 32-valve Coyote V8 - a 7,000 RPM screamer that produces FAR more power than an original Shelby ever dreamed of.

Built to Drive - Hard Power is routed through a Spec clutch to a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission and into a bulletproof Ford 9-inch rear end with aggressive 3.90 gears. The result? Brutal acceleration and highway-friendly cruising in fifth gear. Handling and braking match the horsepower thanks to: Heidts front subframe Tubular steel control arms Coil-over shocks Heidts Power rack-and-pinion steering HD front and rear stabilizer bars 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors Custom 2.5-inch MagnaFlow stainless exhaust with X-pipe The power-to-weight ratio is astounding - plenty of power, no waiting - and the car feels planted, responsive, and confidence-inspiring whether carving corners or cruising the boulevard.
