1965 Ford Mustang Fastback GT350SR Clone
In 2005, Carroll Shelby authorized several 1965 Mustang Fastbacks
to be licensed as Shelby continuation models. These cars were named
GT 350 SR (S was for the 40 year anniversary of the original 350 in
1965). In essence, this is the way Carroll would have built the car
if he had the opportunity to build it with today’s technology.
This GT 350 is handsomely presented with full rotisserie
restoration and bare-metal refinish performed by Carmichael of
Prescott, Arizona. This exceptional GT350 recreation further
enhanced with a custom side-exit exhaust passing through each
rocker panel to maintain the car's ground clearance. Riding on a
Ron Morrison front-suspension system, the Mustang is further
equipped with precise rack and pinion steering by Randal's, while
the rear suspension is highly upgraded with Maier Racing springs,
sway bar, Panhard rod, and shock absorbers. Baer Racing disc brakes
with dual master cylinders provide sure stops, and the brake lines,
fuel lines, and fuel tank are all made of stainless steel. Power is
provided by a fully balanced and blueprinted 331 "Windsor" V-8
professionally built by Coast High Performance and complete with
aluminum cylinder heads with stainless steel valves, a roller valve
train, forged pistons, and a professionally tuned mass flow
fuel-injection system. A Tremec TKO 5-speed manual transmission
unleashes the engine's performance potential and a Moser 9-inch
limited-slip rear-end with 3.50:1 gears delivers massive power to
the rear wheels. This particular car was built with two floors with
sub-frame connectors sandwiched between to keep the car from
flexing in the corners and keep an esthetic looking appearance of
the undercarriage. An electric cooling fan and all-new wiring
harness enhance reliability, while vital functions are monitored by
a set of custom gauges. The custom interior and killer stereo were
handled by Unique Audio and in addition to air conditioning and
power steering; the Mustang is graced by Carroll Shelby's famous
signature on the dash. A top-quality build with thousands of hours
invested in the process, this outstanding Mustang provides
excellent performance, ride, and handling. Properly garaged and
only taken to shows, it demands serious consideration from
hard-core Mustang enthusiasts.
