The Ford Mustang, an icon born in the heart of the 1960s, didn't just create a segment; it defined it. Unveiled at the New York World's Fair in April 1964, its instant popularity was unprecedented, selling over a million units in its first two years. The 1965 model year was pivotal, introducing the fastback body style, which quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts for its sleek, sporting profile. This was also the year Carroll Shelby got his hands on the Mustang, transforming it into the legendary GT350 – a track-focused beast that cemented the Mustang's performance credentials and racing pedigree, particularly in SCCA competition. This stunning 1965 Mustang Fastback pays homage to that legendary GT350, presented as a meticulously crafted tribute with just 300 miles since its comprehensive build. Under the hood resides a potent 289 cubic inch V8, bored .030 over, now displacing 302 cubic inches, enhanced with aluminum heads, roller rockers, and a performance camshaft, all fed by a dual-line Holley carburetor. Power is expertly managed by a 5-speed manual transmission, sending drive to a new 8-inch Ford rear end fitted with aggressive 4.11 gears. The build further boasts a custom aluminum radiator with an electric fan for optimal cooling, killer headers, and a full exhaust system, while the interior features a new Pony interior, complemented by ice-cold air conditioning and heat, all within a rust-free shell finished in beautiful paint. This is an opportunity to acquire a freshly built, high-quality tribute to one of the most significant performance cars in American history.
