1965 Mustang Fully Restored Street/Strip 1,000+ Horsepower Street Legal

Ford Mustang 1965 Description

If you are looking for the ultimate car that you can drive to and from the track without issues this is it. Also if you are looking for a fun cruiser that doesn’t require any significant maintenance this is also it.

I have multiple pulley combinations that will allow you to run 10.5 psi up to 20 psi of boost! I have been to the track once when it made 720 rwhp at 10.5 psi and it went 9.86 at 138 mph. I have since been twice at 16 psi where it ran 9.62 at 144 mph on a very conservative tune up. It's completely capable of running 9.20s-9.30s at this boost level. The car drives nice and straight down the track and requires no effort. It makes it’s power on E85 pump gas and can be converted back to 91 octane though you will need to run only 10.5 psi and much lower timing.

This Mustang is unique because it has a 4L80E with a lockup converter. What that means is the car runs at 2400 rpm at 83 mph on the freeway. No worries like traditional three speeds that you have to drive in the left lane because it's taching out at 65 mph!

The parachute comes out with 1 bolt in the trunk and then the hinged license plate frame covers up the hole!

If you're in So Cal and want to come check out the car hit me up!

The Bad: Nothing actually. Please understand this is a really nice driver and isn’t a Barrett Jackson $100000 restoration. It has a $4000 Dupont Chroma Premiere paint job and not a $15000 Chip Foose paint job. There are some MINOR imperfections but nothing you’d really see unless you were looking for flaws. The car physically functions perfectly. I have driven the car in bumper to bumper 1.5 hour traffic in the heat and the engine never runs above 190 degrees.
