1965 Ford Mustang Fastback Pro touring

You are bidding on a one of a kind 1965 Mustang Fastback "Paladin" that was pro built by some of the best Hot Rod builders in Canada.  Completed in 2006. this Mustang was featured on the cover of both Mustang and Fords and Street Thunder magazines. and has won numerous car show awards.   Everyone loves the look of a classic mustang. but in stock form they are disappointing to drive compared to modern cars. My goal from the start was to build a mustang that retained all the classic styling. but accelerates. brakes. and handles like a modern performance car. This mustang started life as a six cylinder fastback from Connecticut before undergoing a meticulous four year restoration. with dozens of improvements along the way. This car incorporates some incredible engineering to deliver excellent drivability. reliability. and driving excitement all in one package.  

            The paint and body work on this car cost nearly $30. 00 alone. and as expected it is absolutely stunning. The Sikkens Midnight Black is an unforgiving color and it is smooth. straight. and free of any blemishes. The stance on this mustang is perfect. courtesy of the suspension combination that has produced a much better distribution of the 3208 lb. curb weight (52/48) for remarkably good handling on the street and the track.   It soaks up bumps without beating up the driver. and yet has very little body roll in the corners.  The Baer brakes are fantastic and will haul the car down from triple digit speeds repeatedly without drama or fade.   The fuel injected. supercharged Ford Racing 302 starts instantly. idles smoothly. and  runs cool courtesy of a massive radiator and twin electric fans.  The torque curve is very flat and provides strong acceleration in every gear.  This car is very controllable and provides a thrilling driving experience few cars can match. Interior creature comforts were not forgotten. and the quality of materials is very high end.  Wilton wool carpets. leather. ultra-suede. and real aluminum greet the eye; while ice cold a/c. 840 watt 6 speaker stereo. and power windows. make even long trips enjoyable.

 This Mustang is ready for show. street. or the track and turns heads wherever it goes like nothing else on the road.  It would easily cost double the reserve price. and more than two years to build a car of this magnitude. Not to mention all the de-bugging. tuning. changes. swaps. and head-aches etc. that are inevitably required when completely modifying a classic car.   All of this trial and error has already been done and a one of a kind turn key package awaits the winning bidder.
