This 1965 Ford Mustang fastback is finished in black with gold stripes over a black interior and powered by a 363ci stroker V8 paired with a close-ratio Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission and a Street or Track 9-inch rear axle with a Yukon positraction differential and Dutchman 31-spline axles. The car was acquired by the seller in 2008 and subsequently refurbished and modified with work including a repaint and installation of Bilstein Coilovers, 17″ Vintage Wheel Works, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, Summit Racing seats, RaceQuip harnesses, Classic Auto Air climate control, a forged engine rotating assembly, FiTech electronic fuel injection, Brodix cylinder heads, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and MSD electronic ignition. This Mustang fastback is offered with aftermarket parts manuals and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
The car is said to have been stripped and refinished in black during current ownership. Features include GE LED headlights, gold Shelby-style striping, a replacement GT350 front valance panel, functional side scoops, quarter side windows, chrome bumpers, a dual-outlet exhaust. The seller notes that a replacement fiberglass GT350 hood, driver side quarter panel, tail panel, trunk floor, front fenders, and inner fenders were installed as well as a Dynacorn decklid and doors. The seller notes that there is a dent on the passenger side quarter panel and lower rocker panel as well as damage to the driver-side fender behind the front tire.
Staggered 17″ Vintage Wheel Works V48 are mounted with Kuhmo Ectsa PS31 tires measuring 225/45 up front and 235/45 out back. Braking is provided by a Wilwood master cylinder with a proportioning valve, Dynalite calipers and rotors at all four corners, and cu/nickel hard lines. The suspension was modified with the following components:

- Global West strut tower supports
- Bilstein Coilovers

The interior sheet metal is said to have been primed and coated with Lizard Skin thermal and sound topcoat. The driver’s seat is worn and cut, and the windows are hard to roll up.
The three-spoke LeCarra steering wheel mounted to a Flaming-River tilt column frames Dakota Digital VHX instrumentation with a GPS-based 140-mph speedometer, 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for voltage, fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer shows 5k miles which are said to represent mileage since completion of the build. Total mileage is unknown.
