1965 Mustang fastback 6F09T623720
This '65 fastback started life as a six cylinder car, but was redone some years ago by one of my clients as a father/son project. The son has moved on and interest waned, so it has been sitting around for some time.They converted it to a 302 V8 with performance mods and four speed with full V8 5 lug suspension changeover. The door warranty plate is missing, but the color combination appears to be its original Twilight Turquoise exterior with black standard interior. The engine is modified with a Holley 4 barrel on a Weiand aluminum intake, performance aftermarket distributor, stout cam and Ford Motorsport aluminum valve covers. Tube header exhaust runs through a dual system that has a distinctly Flowmaster sounding tone. The five spoke aluminum wheels plus a scoop and locking pins on the original metal hood hint at the car's performance. GT style fog lights complete the look.
The interior has a custom wood rim steering wheel, factory Ford shifter, console, aftermarket tach and gauges plus a modern stereo with speakers mounted in the back panels.
Workmanship is generally mediocre, but the body is quite solid and the car will respond to enhancements. We are still in the process of cleanup and additional photos will be posted when that work is completed.
