1965 Ford Mustang

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback Pro Touring

 Ford introduced the Fastback version of the popular Mustang in August 1964. It traded conventional trunk space for increased interior volume and gave the car lines similar to the Corvette and some European sports cars. The car was received with praise as it introduced a racing disposition to the Mustang line and even served as the basis for Carroll Shelby to build his GT350s. Today, Fastback Mustang’s serve as a very popular platform for Hot Rodders to improve on the performance and styling offered from the factory.

  This 1965 Ford Mustang is a purpose-built pro touring car that has been built with some of the best components available in the aftermarket. Starting with the heart of this machine, is a 351 Windsor Dart block that has been stroked to 460ci with Trickflow Twisted Wedge R225 cylinder heads topped with a Jim Inglese 48 IDA Weber carburetor setup that produces 640hp and 618 ft. lbs. Behind that massive V8, is a close ratio Tremec Magnum 6-Speed transmission with far better gear ratios than the original four speed and is paired with a Mcleod RXT twin disc clutch that is easy to operate. The rear end has been upgraded with a Moser 9inch filled with a 4.11 Truetrac differential spec’d by Detroit Speed. 

  Most important with any pro-touring build is the suspension needed to make these old pony cars handle by modern standards. This car is fitted with one of the best setups in the industry, it has the complete Detroit Speed Aluma Frame front suspension and Quadralink for the rear with JRI adjustable shocks at all four corners. The unibody structure has also been stiffened with a set of Detroit Speed weld in frame connectors. To allow for more tire in the rear, a Detroit Speed Mini Tub kit has been fitted to allow for the massive 315mm tires. Braking duties are handled by Wilwood Forged Narrow Superlite discs brakes with 6 piston calipers in the front and 4 piston in the rear. 

  The aesthetic of this build was influenced by Shelby and has been styled with many factory-style exterior parts including Shelby hood, R model front valance and R model rear window. The exterior was painted in beautiful Candy Apple Red with gold stripes and “GT350H” tape stripes. The interior has been fitted with Tmi sport R seats, dash pad and door panels to match. 

  This complete Pro-Touring Mustang is begging to be driven and put to the test!
