1965 Ford Mustang Restomod Fastback
An impressive and eye-catching restomod
About This Vehicle
The 1965 Ford Mustang captured the American spirit like no other car, blending style, performance, and affordability into a package that defined the pony car era. Today it has become a favorite candidate for restomods, offering timeless looks with the opportunity to integrate modern technology. A truly impressive build and restoration, this 1965 Ford Mustang received the ultimate restomod treatment.
Completed in 2018, it was the recipient of a rotisserie restoration stripped down to bare metal. Originally born Poppy Red, this Mustang was finished in the eye-catching color of Robin Egg Blue with matte black GT stripes. Equipped with a fiberglass hood with a functional air scoop, Magnum 500 wheels, and tinted glass, its muscle car stance is heightened.
The body sits on an upgraded unibody chassis using TCI and Modern Driveline components with tubular upper and lower control arms, adjustable coil-over shocks, and power rack and pinion steering. 0-liter V-8 engine equipped with a Vortech supercharger, Edelbrock heads, a high-performance camshaft, MSD distributor, and K&N air cleaner. 73 ratio gears.
The interior has been completely upgraded with new black upholstery, carpet, padded seats, MP gauges, Ididit tilt column steering, Classic Auto Air A/C, AM/FM Bluetooth radio, and four six-inch speakers. Documented by a large file folder of invoice records.
