Overview
This 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback including painting the body, fabricating a tubular chassis, trimming the interior, and installing a Roush Racing 427ci V8 paired with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in black over black leather and Alcantara upholstery, and additional equipment includes FAST engine management, an MSD ignition system, staggered-diameter wheels, Wilwood disc brakes, QA1 adjustable coilovers, a Ring Brothers carbon-fiber hood and trunk lid, Dakota Digital gauges, carbon-fiber interior trim, a Hurst shifter, power windows, Vintage Air air conditioning, and a JL Audio sound system.
The body was painted black and fit on the custom fabricated tubular chassis under current ownership. Features include a Ring Brothers carbon-fiber hood with a hood scoop and vents, a Ring Brothers carbon-fiber trunk lid, LED taillights with billet aluminum surrounds, and a dual-exit exhaust quieted by Magnaflow mufflers.
The 18″ and 19″ diameter Niche three-piece wheels wear Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires measuring 265/35 up front and 345/30 out back. The rear axle is mounted using custom-fabricated four-link geometry, and additional modifications include Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes along with QA1 adjustable coilovers.
The interior features Procar front bucket seating upholstered in black leather with Alcantara inserts and blue deviated stitching. Features include a blue roll cage, carbon-fiber interior trim, Vintage Air air conditioning, a Hurst shifter, power windows, an Alcantara headliner, Wilton wool-style carpeting, racing harnesses for both occupants, Tilton pedals, an electric parking brake, and a JL audio system with a trunk-mounted subwoofer. A push-button starter sourced from a 2005 Ford GT is reportedly fitted, and the electronics are managed by an Infinity Box controller wired to buttons mounted in a carbon-fiber pod on the headliner.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel features a Ford logo center emblem and fronts a carbon-fiber facia housing Dakota Digital instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, digital readouts, and inset gauges for fuel level, voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure.
The Roush 427ci IR V8 crate engine was installed in November 2018 and is equipped with forged pistons, H-beam rods, aluminum heads, a roller camshaft, an 8-stack intake, electronic fuel injection, FAST engine management, and an MSD ignition system. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator assisted by dual electric fans.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and a Currie 9″ rear axle with a 3.50:1 differential. A McLeod Street Twin clutch and flywheel have been installed. The exhaust system features Magnaflow mufflers and turned-down exits behind the rear axle.
