This 1965 Ford Mustang coupe was modified by its previous owner with a 5.0-liter V8 sourced from a Fox-body Mustang and fitted with aluminum cylinder heads, a hydraulic roller camshaft, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a Holley 650 CFM double pumper carburetor. Shifting is through a Performance Automatic three-speed automatic transmission, and additional modifications include a 9″ rear end with 4.11 gears and a limited-slip differential, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ Torq Thrust wheels, and a 2.5″ exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. The car has been fitted with a GT350-style hood and front bumper and is finished in metallic dark gray over a black interior. This Mustang was acquired by the seller in 2014 and is now offered with a build sheet and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.

The exterior was refinished in its current shade of Dark Shadow Grey Metallic by the previous owner approximately a decade ago and features a GT350-style hood and front bumper. The seller notes scratches on the rear glass as well as cracks in the bodywork near the hood scoop as documented in the gallery below.

Staggered width 15″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are wrapped in 165R15 Ultra Metric tires up front and 225/60 Radial G/T rubber out back. An SSBC four-wheel disc brake conversion kit has been added, and the suspension was reportedly refreshed during previous ownership.

The interior features replacement black vinyl seats along with a matching dash pad, carpets, and door panels. Modifications include a dashboard-mounted switch panel, a fire extinguisher, embroidered floormats, and a Turbo Action Cheetah SCS shifter.

A wood-rimmed Shelby-style steering wheel frames an instrument cluster sourced from a 1966 Ford Mustang, including the 140-mph speedometer. An Autometer tachometer has been added to the steering column, and the five-digit mechanical odometer indicates approximately 4k miles, around 700 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The 5.0-liter V8 was reportedly sourced from a 1990 Ford Mustang and bored .030″ over by the previous owner. Additional modifications are said to include the following:

Forged crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons
Ford Racing X hydraulic roller camshaft
AFR 185 aluminum cylinder heads with roller rockers
Edelbrock Torker II intake manifold
Holley 650 CFM double pump carburetor, fuel pump, and fuel pressure regulator
Mallory Racing electronic distributor
Long tube headers
CSR Performance electric water pump
Aluminum radiator
Electric fan
Replacement fuel tank with a rear sump
Custom 2.5″ exhaust with an H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers

The replacement Performance Automatic C4 three-speed automatic transmission is reportedly equipped with a reverse manual valve body and a 3k-rpm stall converter. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 9″ axle with a limited-slip differential and 4.11:1 gears. Additional underside photos are available in the photo gallery and walk-around and driving videos can be played below.
