This 1965 Ford Mustang convertible is finished in red with metallic black stripes over black and powered by a replacement 331ci stroker V8 mated to a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip rear differential.
The car was refinished in Rosso Barchetta with metallic black stripes in approximately 2014.
Features include a Robbins black fabric convertible top, a steel-framed fiberglass GT350-style hood, a fiberglass front valance, a GT-style fuel door, chrome bumpers, reverse lamps, and a dual exhaust that exits through the rear valance.
The car was backed into a fence and subsequently stripped to bare metal, fitted with a replacement right rear quarter panel, and repainted.
The floors and underbody were painted with red oxide.
The convertible top, latching hardware, and cables have been replaced.
The 17″ Vintage Wheel Works V-45 wheels are mounted with 225-50 Hankook Venus RS-3 up front and 245-45 Hankook Venus Evo2 tires out back.
The car is fitted with a Borgeson quick-ratio power steering box, Wilwood dual master cylinder, front swaybar, Global West tubular upper and lower A-arms, Bilstein shock absorbers, 620-lb coil springs with roller-bearing perches, a one-inch A-arm drop, and five-leaf reverse eye leaf springs.
Stopping power is provided by unassisted Wilwood four-piston calipers over slotted and cross-drilled rotors up front and two-piston calipers over slotted and cross-drilled rotors out back.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench reupholstered in TMI-sourced black vinyl with Alcantara inserts.
Equipment includes a 1966-style dashboard pad and glove box, Classic Auto Air climate control, a Steeda Tri-Ax billet shifter, front lap belts, kick panel speakers, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo.
The Shelby-style wood steering wheel is mounted to an adjustable Ididit column and frames an Autometer 160-mph speedometer and tachometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and oil pressure.
The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 178 miles, which are indicate mileage since refurbishment completion.
