In 1965, Carroll Shelby, a man who had already conquered Le Mans as a driver, set his sights on transforming Ford's new pony car into a track-ready weapon. The result was the Shelby GT350, a performance icon born from a collaboration that would define American muscle for generations. Starting with the sleek 2+2 fastback, Shelby’s team stripped weight, stiffened the chassis, and breathed fire into the 289 cubic-inch V8, creating a street-legal racer that dominated SCCA B-Production racing. Only 562 GT350s were built in that inaugural year, making them highly coveted machines that cemented the Mustang's place in performance history and launched the legendary Shelby lineage. This stunning 1965 Mustang Fastback pays homage to that seminal GT350, meticulously crafted as a tribute to capture the spirit and aggression of the original. Starting life as a factory "09" fastback with a "C" code V8, this example has undergone a comprehensive restoration by its previous owner. Under the hood lies a potent 302 cubic-inch stroker engine, dyno-rated at an impressive 400+ horsepower, delivering a thrilling driving experience that truly lives up to the GT350 ethos. Power is expertly managed through a crisp 4-speed manual transmission, connecting the driver directly to the car's performance. Finished in a period-correct Guardsman Blue Metallic with iconic silver stripes, this tribute fastback presents beautifully, with only 4,497 miles showing since its restoration. This is an opportunity to acquire a meticulously built tribute that embodies the raw power and classic style of Shelby's original masterpiece.
