Vehicle Description
You already like a tribute car because it's a great way to get into
a dream classic for a much smaller price. But you should really dig
deeper into this 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350 fastback tribute. With a
supercharged V8, this one will make people not think twice about it
being original right up until it passes those Shelbys like they
were standing still.
There's just no mistaking the original GT350 appearance. It starts
with taking one of the rarest and often most valuable of the three
Mustang configurations, the 2+2 fastback, and making it even better
looking. So getting a tribute right is already an expensive
proposition. This one started out with desirable Wimbledon White
paint. It was professionally resprayed during restoration, and now
it includes the competition stripes that look quite distinctive in
a very deep, dark blue. Those stripes give the car some added
flair, as do the mirror-like chrome bumpers and the upgrade to
17-inch Eagle Alloy wheels. But at its heart, this is a true Shelby
tribute. The hood scoop, side stripes, side scoops, and a
snake-bitten gas cap compete the GT350 packaging correctly.
The interior is the perfect blend of vintage restoration and
upgrades where you would want them the most. It starts with the
black bucket seats that look like they are fresh from the factory
in '65. The same level of investment goes for the door panels,
carpeting, headliner, and fold-down rear seat. Even the AM/FM radio
has that great authentic look and feel (but it does have aux input
for your modern music player.) You'll slip behind the wood-rimmed
Shelby sports steering wheel. As you gaze at the upgraded AutoMeter
gauge panel that's both in front of you and on the A-pillar, you
instantly know there's something very special in the engine
bay.
The moment you pop the hood you can see the serious investment in
this car. That shiny Paxton supercharger looks great, and more
importantly, it gives this V8 a serious boost in power. And that's
not the only performance upgrade. The 289 cubic-inch motor has been
bored out to 302, and its been given throttle body fuel injection,
hydraulic cam, GT40 heads, MSD ignition, and long-tube headers. The
full package is rated at around 400 horsepower. So you know the
moment the moment you rev the motor where the dual exhaust gives a
rumble and the supercharger produces its whine, it will be a truly
awesome experience that you and everyone within earshot won't
forget. This is mated to an AOD four-speed automatic overdrive
transmission with a 2,800 RPM stall to keep you in the powerband.
And that feeds the Traction Lok rear end running 3.90 gears. In a
total power package like this you're going to want to have complete
control. That's why it has been upgraded to Randall power rack &
pinion steering, thicker sway bar, four-wheel disc brakes, and
modern directional sport tires.
This is such a cool custom that it made the cover of Detroit Speed
Shops magazine. So you're looking at a tribute car that can also
stand on its own ground. That's why we love it, and at this price,
we also know it won't be with us long. Call today!!!
