This 1965 Mustang GT, Fastback is the Finest Pro-Touring Build We've Ever Seen... and We've Seen a Lot of Them in the Past 25+ Years Admittedly, That's a Bold Statement. Read More to Learn What Backs That Up. The Original Build Was Meticulously Completed in 2004 by Maeco Motorsport, at the Time Located in Northridge, California. Maeco is Known for Precision Engineering and Construction, Building Bodies and Chassis' for Both Street and Racing Applications. Classic Mustangs Are One of Their Specialties. When It Was Originally Completed Twenty-Two Years Ago, More Than $155,000 Was Invested in Building the Owner's Dream Car (Over $265,000 in Today's Money), Which Included Myriad Handling and Performance Upgrades Along With Creature Comforts. The Most Recent Owner, Who is a World-Class Craftsman in His Own Right, Spared No Expense in Taking It to the Next Level, and Beyond, Investing an Additional $160,000 to Create a Pro Touring Rocket With Performance and Handling Comparable to the Finest Cars on the Road Today, All Wrapped in a Beautiful Silver Smoke Gray, 1965 Mustang Fastback Maeco Body, De-Badged to Give It a Clean, Minimalist Look. The Project Started When the Original Owner Contacted Maeco Motorsport to Build His Dream Luxury Race Car. He Wanted the Option to Drive It on the Street Comfortably, as Well as Push the Envelope on the Back Roads, at Speed. Performance and Handling Were at the Top of the List, With Creature Comforts Like Power Rack & Pinion Power Power Windows, and an Excellent Sound System Close Behind. Maeco Started With a Bone Stock, Rust Free, 1965 Mustang Fastback and Modified the Unibody to Strengthen It, Top and Bottom. a New, All Metal Hood Was Installed With a Functional Hood Scoop and Naca Ducts to Keep Air Flowing Through the Engine Compartment at Triple Digit Speeds. Maeco Spec Torque Boxes and Frame Rails Were Installed and Tied to a Roll Cage Reinforced With Carbon Fiber. This Was Done to Counteract the Body-twisting-torque of the 530 Hp, 347 C. I. Ford Racing Engine, Which Was Rebuilt in 2022, Roughly 3,000 Miles Ago. To Put That Power on the Ground, Maeco Installed a Four-Link Rear End and a Detroit Locker Rear Axle. Since Then, the Rear Axle Has Been Changed to a More Streetable Wave Track, Locking, Curry 9 Rear Differential Using 31 Spline Axles. It's Bulletproof. The Front End Has Been Replaced by a Total Control Coil-Over System With Adjustable Shocks and Adjustable Tie Rods for Bump Steer Correction Keeping the Front-end Evenly on the Ground Along With the Coil Over Front Suspension, Total Control Power Rack and Pinion Steering Helps to Keep the Car Predictably Where You Aim It, Flat on the Road or Track at Speed, in Corners and on the Straights. The Unibody is All Metal. No Fiberglass on This One. While Not Immediately Noticeable, the Folks at Maeco Fabricated Slightly Flared Fenders to Accommodate Bigger Wheels and Fatter Tires. It Easily Turns Lock-to-Lock Without Rubbing. The Body Gaps Are Perfect - a Big Improvement Over the Original Ford Construction. Doors Open and Close Like a New Lexus. There Are a Number of Companies That Build Exceptional Pro-Touring Recreations of 1965- 1970 Shelby Mustangs That Are Priced Well Into Six Figures. You Can Expect to Pay $375k to More Than Half a Million $ for One That is Properly Set Up for the Street.

An Air Conditioning System Was Installed, but the Previous Owner Removed the Compressor and Receiver Dryer as It Wasn't Needed in N. California. the Rest of the Components Are Still Installed in the Car (AC/Heater Controls, Duct Work, Vents, Blower Plenum, Etc.) and the Heater/Defroster Works Fine.
