Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this gorgeous red 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2 for Sale. This bad boy has been built to give you the looks and performance of a Shelby GT350 in a package that you won't be afraid to drive. Under the hood is a 289 CID V8, which, according to the owner, was the one the car was fitted with before it left the manufacturing line, and was rebuilt about 600 miles ago. It is equipped with a mild performance cam, and a Holley Sniper Electronic Fuel Injection system. A new Holley fuel tank with electronic fuel pump and new fuel lines supply the go juice. A Hyperspark ignition system provides the spark, and Scott Drake long tube headers scavenge the exhaust into the stainless exhaust, which sounds great thanks to the Borla X1 mufflers out back. Backing the fiesty 289 is a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. its Hurst shifter makes gear changes feel quite sporty, and the 5th gear adds to the highway friendly aspect - you'll want to make many a long cruise in this Pony. The 9-inch rear end is equipped with 3.50:1 gears, which provide a nice "off the line" feel, and keep the RPMs down at cruising speed. The potent 289 is kept cool by the Wizard Cooling stainless 2-core radiator and its electronic fan. This sleek Fastback drives much better than it would have in 1965, thanks its updated suspension, with all new control arms, coil springs, shocks, suspension bushings, and rear leaf springs. It's riding on BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, which wrap the classic Shelby Aluminum wheels. Front disc/rear drum brakes help bring it to a safe and drama free stop. Inside, occupants will enjoy the black vinyl Pony interior, seat belts, cold air conditioning, and the tunes that the vintage style Bluetooth head unit puts out. Drivers will appreciate the Borgeson power steering and the Dakota Digital electronic analog gauges. This is one of those classics you'll want to snap up: '65 Fastbacks set up this way aren't easy to find, so don't wait!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
