1965 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 Tribute

Description

This spectacular Shelby tribute is a highly detailed, well-executed classic that impresses in literally every way!

Featuring a straight and solid profile, this storied Ford wears a super clean restoration that's a first-class example of professional craftsmanship. The car's fit and finish is exceptional, highlighting its cool black and gold paint. And not only does that mirror-like pigment present well from all angles, it provides a living testament to the allure of stellar design and American ingenuity.

Under the car's hood, a show-detailed engine bay displays a perfect blend of painted and polished components. The engine itself is a spry Ford 289 that marries a broad power band with rich torque. That power flows with the help of stock heads and a big 4-barrel carburetor. And coated headers dump spent gases into a big, true-dual exhaust system.

As previously stated, the car's body is solid steel that's been acutely restored to very high standards. That body rides a factory chassis that's been fully framed in Red Oxide primer. At the back of that chassis, a 9-inch axle spins aggressive gears. Behind the engine, a tough 4-speed slings torque. And at the corners, meaty BF Goodrich Radial T/As spin chromed Magnum 500s around factory disc and drum brakes.

Like this Mustang's clean body and drivetrain, its tailored interior brings the fashion. Stitched in factory vinyl, the car's seats are firm and comfortable. In front of those seats, a traditional dash has been upgraded with modern Pioneer audio. And the driver commands the road through a chrome shifter and an ornate Moto-Lita steering wheel.

Striking, tasteful and ready to roll, this timeless Shelby is a first-class head turner. We'd like to thank the car's happy new owner for choosing RK Motors Charlotte for all his octane-fueled needs. Here's to many years and many more miles behind the wheel of classic Motown metal!
