This 1965 Fastback is undergoing our full nut and bolt rotisserie restoration and will be a tribute of the famous Shelby GT350. This was the first year that the GT350 was produced and is regarded by some as being the best. With a fully rebuilt and balanced high performance engine, you will relive the excitement this model created when launched as you grip the Mota-Lita steering wheel and fire up the engine. This Mustang is still in bodyworks and can be modified and upgraded to meet your own personal specification.
