1965 Ford Mustang GT350 Clone

Description

This car is all about adding distinction and attraction to an already impressive package. After all, beyond the Shelby elements of this 1965 Ford Mustang GT350 tribute, there's still the ultra-desirable first-year fastback underneath. That's why this early pony car is a winner from every angle.

A Shelby-built GT350 will cost a fortune, and even a nice tribute like this requires a major investment. So while they were busy putting the work into making a snake-bitten coupe, it's also nice to see some custom touches that really highlight the effort. It all results in a car that looks mean and distinct, and it will also standout in the Mustang crowd. 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 look even better. This one was restored to include a professional respray of its correct Rangoon Red paint. Plus, the hood scoop, hood pins, and grille with offset pony are icons from the years Shelby was building these out of his Los Angeles factory. And those mag wheels even have Cobra center caps for a detail-oriented total package. But it's instantly easy to distinguish this '65 from across the show field. After all, when was the last time you saw a GT350 in glowing red with the full white competition stripe package? The result is a car that looks correct and nicely presented while still being quite distinctive.

Inside the aggressive red theme continues. But where the exterior is built for competition, the interior is much more about comfort and luxury. You know this the moment you open the door and lay eyes on the restored plush bucket seats with premium center console in-between. This has all the right vintage element – from the fold-down rear seat to the correct matting in the trunk. But this one is also great for modern cruising. The upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo means always being able to match to soundtrack to the road, and the cold R134a air conditioning will keep you feeling as cool as you look in this fastback. And as you slip behind the upgraded wood and chrome steering wheel, and spot the large AutoMeter tach, you realize this one also has Shelby-worthy performance.

Under the hood is 289 cubic-inch V8 that's dressed to impress. It has the bright air cleaner, matching valve covers, and even a polished Monte Carlo bar. It's a tidy setup, so you can clearly see the performance upgrades like the Holley four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. Plus, the H-pipe the dual exhaust helps give this total package more bark and bite. In fact, the whole coupe is setup up to be a great anytime sports car with features like power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.

Now you understand the high level of investment that went into this GT350 tribute. So beyond the great looks is a great build, which makes this a fantastic buy. Call today!!!
