1965 Ford Mustang Fastback

This Ford Mustang Fastback is a tribute to the iconic Shelby GT350R model, which has been enhanced with a number of eye-catching upgrades. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.7-litre V8, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed ‘C4’ deep-pan automatic transmission. The odometer shows 50,311 miles, however this is not warranted. This car is sold unregistered and without a roadworthy certificate. Build year: 1965 Carroll Shelby’s GT350R was conceived to homologate Ford’s new Mustang for the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) road-racing competition. The GT350R proved highly competitive, taking victory in the SCCA B-Production racing series from 1965 to 1967. Starting life as a ‘C-Code’ Mustang Fastback, this example has been transformed into a recreation of the Shelby GT350R. It has been upgraded with front and rear disc brakes, American-built shaved bars, mini-tubbed wheel wells, modified bodywork, lowered suspension, air conditioning, and a rebuilt engine with a mild hydraulic camshaft and two downdraught Weber carburettors. The car is finished in red, with black and white racing stripes, and black ‘GT350’ decals. It rides on an aftermarket set of black 18-inch Simmons five-spoke alloy wheels, wrapped in Nexen NFera AU5 tyres with ‘Dunlop’ lettering. The black vinyl-trimmed cabin features a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, push-out front quarter light windows, Speco Meter oil pressure and water temperature gauges, and the ‘Rally Pac’ tachometer and clock. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The car’s last technical inspection was reportedly completed two years ago. This Mustang’s most recent service was reportedly completed six months ago at around an indicated 50,000 miles. This Ford Mustang Fastback is a stylish tribute to the Shelby GT350R model, which has been enhanced with a number of desirable modifications. It would make an exciting addition to any assembly of American classics, a fun companion for weekend drives, and a crowd-pleasing show entrant.
