Upgraded 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback – 347ci Stroker V8, Tremec 5-Speed, Gold w/LeMans Stripes, Power Disc Brakes
This 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback blends vintage style with modern upgrades, making it a driver-focused example of one of the most iconic muscle cars of all time. Finished in a custom shade of metallic gold with clear-coated LeMans stripes, Mustang pinstriping, and rocker panel accents, this Fastback exudes aggressive GT350-inspired styling. Under the hood, it’s powered by a professionally built 347ci stroker V8, paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and upgraded with a host of performance parts, suspension components, and thoughtful interior modifications.
With just 56k miles shown on the odometer (though total mileage is unknown), this Fastback has benefitted from recent service totaling over $5,000, bringing its drivetrain, cooling system, and mechanical integrity up to enthusiast standards. Additional cosmetic and comfort upgrades include power front disc brakes, Hotchkis suspension, power windows, fog lights, and a Magnaflow exhaust system.
Exterior – GT350-Style Hood, Gold w/ Clear-Coated Stripes
The body of this Fastback is finished in an eye-catching metallic gold accented by LeMans racing stripes, Mustang side striping, and rocker panel graphics, all of which were clear-coated over during a previous repaint. The result is a clean, high-gloss finish that showcases the car’s aggressive lines while paying homage to the Shelby GT350 design language.
Visual enhancements include:
-
GT350-style fiberglass hood
-
Front-mounted fog lights
-
Sequential taillights
-
Dual exhaust outlets with polished tips
-
New alloy wheels, styled after factory steelies but in a larger diameter, wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force Sport tires
Chrome trim, window surrounds, and Mustang badging remain in place, blending classic cues with performance-oriented styling.
Interior – Custom Touches with Period-Correct Feel
The cabin features a combination of stock elements and tasteful modifications for improved functionality and driver comfort. Bucket seats, black carpeting, and door panels retain a mostly original aesthetic, while key enhancements modernize the driving experience.
Interior highlights include:
-
Rally-Pac mounted on the steering column, combining a tachometer and clock
-
LeCarra wood-rimmed steering wheel
-
Power windows, cleverly disguised with factory-style crank switches
-
Digital retro-style stereo fitted into the original dash opening (no cutting)
-
5-speed shift knob mounted on the floor console
Instrumentation, controls, and switchgear remain period-appropriate, with only subtle upgrades for usability.
Powertrain – 347ci Stroker V8 & Tremec 5-Speed Manual
The original powertrain has been replaced with a robust, high-performance 347ci stroker V8, fed by a 4-barrel carburetor and backed by a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox, adding both horsepower and drivability. The engine bay is painted in the car’s body color for a clean, show-ready presentation.
A $5,150 recent service included:
-
Installation of new RHS aluminum cylinder heads
-
Head gaskets, spark plugs, and thermostat
-
New radiator and harmonic balancer
-
Rear main seal, crankshaft pulley/seal, and clutch rod repair

The combination delivers strong acceleration, a broad torque band, and crisp shifts — transforming the driving experience from vintage cruiser to proper restomod muscle.
