65 Mustang Fastback Restoration Project

This is my 1965 Mustang Fastback I rescued from a field rusting away. I finished it around July of 2008 in my back yard garage with no professional assistance at all. It took me about 26 months to complete. It has a 302 Ford motor and an 5 Speed manual transmission. I restored this car to the information on the original data plate on the door that included the body color and interior. The stripe is unique in that I added a darker red to the Poppy Red body color to get a stripe that is a little darker but blends in with the factory color. This car features four wheel disc brakes made from all Ford parts.

People who can use a torch and do metal work are doing amazing things with these old rusted out mustang remnants. Bet NOBODY in Ford Headquarters back in 1965 dreamed that in 2020 people would be pulling these things out of junkyards, barns and such and rebuilding them as good as new! And people doing this are ending up with, essentially, a brand new "old" mustang. And all of the jobs that have been created for "new parts" for these old mustangs! A win-win.

This is incredible. Something that so many would (and clearly did) ignore as too far gone, too hard and not worth bothering with. There is immense honour in bringing a all but dead classic back to life and you should feel very proud!! 49 people are not true believers. Thanks for the inspiration you have given me to get back to my neglected projects.

Years ago I was doing a restoration on a 1971 Mach 1 and I had a relative ask me why I was putting so much effort and money into an old car. "You'll never get your money back" he said. Well, if you're going to keep it forever then the cost doesn't mean anything and you might as well install the good stuff. It appears to me that you, sir, have installed the good stuff. Beautiful car! Well done!

Yor are my hero! I've had several late model mustangs (fox bodt and up) but finally bought a 65 coupe last summer, then another just for parts ($500 for a 4 speed top load, plus another good chassis...) a month ago. I'm almost done gutting the first one, but sit back looking at what I've still got ahead of me gets a little overwelming at times... Seeing what people like you can do at home gives me hope that I too may actually have a worth while treasure when all is done, some day... Thank you

@rogerpriest4266 8 жыл бұрын

Yes, he did an outstanding job being his first restoration project. This car now resides in Spokane, Washington and has had even more tender loving care that includes Wilwood brakes, Street & Track lowering control arms, Shelby drop. '67 Shelby hood, new Bilstein shocks on all four corners, and recently in April of 2016 - new Corbeau highback seats and finalized the interior with Pony style door panels. KEEP HER CRUISING!
