Fastand#44; fun Mustangs never last long on the showroom floor here at Streetside Classicsand#44; and this cool 1965 Fastback is probably no exception. Dressed in Shelby GT350H Hertz Rent-A-Racer liveryand#44; its a neat little 2+2 with the right look and a high-revving 289 that snarls like it belongs on the track. Black and gold were Hertzs colors and the black finish with gold stripes made the GT350H stand out from its siblings. This is a highly accurate replicaand#44; tooand#44; from the hood pins to the Plexiglas quarter windowsand#44; its obvious that someone did their homework before the build started. The black seems to show off the Mustangs details bestand#44; like the side cove that ends in a brake cooling scoop that is fully functional. Fortunatelyand#44; theres no oversized hood scoop or rear wingand#44; a fate that befalls entirely too many early Mustangsand#44; and the cleanand#44; original shape has been permitted to live unmodified. The stripes were professionally appliedand#44; so the workmanship is first rateand#44; giving it a cleanand#44; purposeful look. Freshly chromed bumpersand#44; a proper Shelby grilleand#44; and a GT350 badge and gas cap on the tail panel complete the period-perfect look. All Hertz Shelbys received black interiorsand#44; so thats what went in hereand#44; too. With beautifully stitched seat coversand#44; its highly authentic and with a few upgradesand#44; extremely practical as well. Fresh carpets offer the correct weaveand#44; and matching door panels look like theyre fresh out of the wrapper. There is no consoleand#44; which wasnt part of the Shelby packageand#44; but you will note that this one has a 4-speed manual gearbox. While a vast majority of the GT350H cars were indeed automaticsand#44; a handful of 4-speed cars were builtand#44; so this one is technically correct. A newer AM/FM head unit has been fitted in the original radios locationand#44; preserving the stock dashand#44; and a set of aftermarket gauges live under the dash with a correct Shelby-style tach up high where its easy to see. A wood-rimmed Shelby-style steering wheel warms up the otherwise all-black passenger compartment and the fire extinguisher is just plain cool. The trunk is correctly dressed up with plaid mats and a spare tire with matching cover. The engine was originally a C-code 289 2-barreland#44; but today theres a cackling 289 built to correct Shelby 306 horsepower specifications. Wearing correct Ford Blue paintand#44; the sharp little small block cackles and snarls through a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflersand#44; and a new aluminum high-rise intake and a Holley carburetor help make horsepower. At idleand#44; you can definitely tell that it has a big cam insideand#44; and the gorgeous finned valve covers and Cobra air cleaner give it a real Shelby look. Underneathand#44; theres a slightly lowered suspension that makes the car sit just rightand#44; plus front disc brakesand#44; and a correct set of traction bars for the rear leaf springs. It starts and runs beautifullyand#44; the transmission shifts like it shouldand#44; and this is a Mustang that you could drive every day if you were so inclinedand#44; just like back in the 1960s. Handsome and correct Hertz wheels wearing 14-inch tires are just the right sizeand#44; not too bigand#44; not too small. So go ahead and look through our inventory and see how many Mustangs wear a SOLD sign. This exceptional GT350H replica will be joining them soonand#44; so dont delayand#44; call now! |
