The 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback needs no introduction as the progenitor of the pony car segment, but its transformation into the Shelby GT350 cemented its legendary status. Carroll Shelby’s mission was simple: take Ford’s popular new Mustang and turn it into a track-ready weapon capable of competing with Corvettes in SCCA production racing. Stripping away weight, enhancing the suspension, and extracting more power from the Hi-Po 289 V8, Shelby created a car that was both raw and exhilarating. Only 562 GT350s were built for 1965, each painted Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue stripes, making them instantly recognizable and highly coveted machines that blended American muscle with genuine racing pedigree. This particular 1965 Mustang Fastback pays homage to that iconic legacy as a meticulously crafted GT350 tribute. Under the hood resides a potent 289 V8, providing the authentic soundtrack and spirit of the original. Unlike the factory four-speed, this restomod benefits from a modern Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, offering improved drivability and highway manners while maintaining an engaging connection between driver and machine. Showing 47,390 miles, this tribute has been enjoyed on the road, embodying the spirit of a performance car meant to be driven. This expertly executed tribute provides the visceral thrill and classic aesthetics of a Shelby GT350 in a package ready for the open road.
