STK 3571 1965 Ford Mustang GT 350 Tribute
The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the 'Pony Car'. The Mustang's styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition. The first GEN 1 Mustang was manufactured from 1964-1/2 until 1973 and this fully restored 1965 GT350 Tribute is a stunning example of the 2+2 model, but with serious mechanical upgrades. This fastback has won 'Best of Show' trophies at events all over the southeast. The virtually flawless body was professionally reshot in 2-stage Calypso Coral (Ford color) w/black stripes. Accents include 'Shelby' hood, side windows, front apron, rear spoiler and gas cap. All chrome/stainless pieces are new and custom door handles have been installed – everything is top-shelf. Coys 'C-67' machined alloys w/spinners mount 17” Riken performance radial tires. The interior has been reupholstered in black vinyl and features Pro Touring II bucket seats, Vintage Air, Ididit tilt column w/Grant wheel, AM/FM sound system, fold down rear seat w/new hardware and all new weatherstripping. There is also a new cruiser console and dash pad/carpeting/headliner. Other features include a carbon-fiber-look gauge pod w/AutoMeter gauges/tach, new tinted windshield/windows, billet pedals and chrome door striker plates.
This Mustang was a 'C' code car from the factory – 289ci/2V Windsor. That engine is gone, replaced with a balanced/blueprinted 302ci HO motor with extensive mechanical upgrades.
