Description:

1965 Ford Mustang Shelby

Tired of looking for a nice '65 Shelby "clone" and finding nothing but fastbacks with stripes, a GT350 emblem and everything else isn't even close? A lot of research has gone into this car to make it look exactly the way Carroll built them. There are however 2 exceptions: the rear fold down seat was left intact, which in turn does not allow for the override traction bars to be installed. If you purchase this Mustang and would like those changes, I can provide that for an extra cost. Below is the detailed list of what made the '65 Shelby Mustang unique.
