1965 Ford Mustang Fastback Shelby GT350H Tribute

1965 Ford Mustang Fastback – Shelby GT350H Tribute

Feast your eyes on this stunning 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback, masterfully restored from the ground up with a full rotisserie restoration—no detail overlooked, no expense spared. This classic muscle car has been transformed into an incredible tribute to the legendary Hertz “Rent-A-Racer” Shelby GT350H. But make no mistake—this isn’t just a show car. It’s been built with serious performance in mind.

Beneath its striking black-and-gold exterior lies a potent 347 cubic inch stroker V8 engine, paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a Ford 9-inch rear differential equipped with a 3.23 Posi-traction gear. This tribute car doesn’t just look fast—it is fast. It’s been upgraded with a Cobra-style oil pan, manual steering, front disc brakes, new performance suspension, and period-correct Magnum 500 wheels for both style and substance.

This GT350H tribute isn’t just built to impress—it’s built to win, whether at car shows or on the road.

Interior Excellence

Inside, the restoration continues with the same level of attention to detail and authenticity. The interior has been brought back to its original factory look, featuring stock-style black vinyl bucket seats with safety harnesses, a floor-mounted shifter, and fresh black carpeting. The dashboard includes original-style gauges, a Cobra dash-mounted tachometer, a classic 3-spoke wood steering wheel, and a factory-look radio to complete the vintage experience.

From every angle—inside and out—this Mustang is a stunning example of craftsmanship and performance, ready to hit the road or take center stage at any event. More information at Vanguard Motor Sales
