'65 Mustang Fastback

This car was originally built in 1973 and updated to a full cage and strut suspension in 1981......Runs consistent 11.40's @ sea level through the mufflers........ I have owned the car for 22 years and have done all of the engine, transmission and front suspension mods. Want to own a piece of American automotive history? Do you have any specific questions about the car? I will be happy to answer. Just e-mail me

This has been a full-fledged race car for nearly 30 years now and hasn't been registered since 1973. It only bears a superficial resemblance to the Mustang fastback it was built from. I don't believe it could be successfully returned to the street. I get many inquiries about making it into a "Pro Street" car and my answer is "anything is possible".

The car requires a low clearance carrier as it is at the 3" minimum ground clearance specified by the NHRA.

I can transport the car within a 500 mile radius for $0.50 per mile based on round trip mileage.

I will require a 5% good-faith deposit prior to transportation or pick-up....balance is due at time of delivery by Certified Funds or Wire Transfer.
