The motor exhales through a set of correct exhaust manifolds and flows out the back through an Arvinode 2″ exhaust system with a HiPo H-pipe. The engine is adorned with the factory K code dress up kit and uses the HiPo fan assembly. You’ll find all correct lines, hoses, clamps and beautiful finishes throughout. The engine compartment itself is a highly detailed thing of beauty. The upgraded transmission is a brand new Ford Motorsport T-5 overdrive unit with a Centerforce clutch. The original tranny is secured to a small pallet and comes with the car.
The 9″ axle housing is correct for 1965 and houses 3.50 gears. The engine numbers and date codes are detailed at the end of the build pics as well and the before/after stages of the rebuild. The car features the matching numbers engine and matching numbers transmission.
Both VIN numbers are present on the inner aprons and the VIN usually hidden by the passenger side fender is pictured in the build pics. The undercarriage has all of the correct factory spot welds along the rockers and is finished the correct red oxide primer. The paint is a two stage job and features a wet sanded clear coat that results in a texture free, high gloss finish. It was $15,000 for just the paintwork and the finish is impressive. The panels are very straight and were properly long blocked prior to application of paint. The paint and bodywork are as nice as you’ll find anywhere. The doors, hood and trunk align properly and even the usually ill fitting headlight and taillight buckets fit well. Fitment of the metal is as nice or nicer than factory. The Mustang is a very high end restoration and features a body that was stripped down to bare metal prior to paint. The restoration is fully documented with a fat stack of receipts and over 500 build pics. The car is listed in the HiPo Mustang registry and is ready to drive or show. Originally built in San Jose for the Seattle market, the K code has only been owned in Washington and Arizona. Finished in Vintage Burgundy over a black interior, this 1965 Mustang K code Fastback was a meticulous rotisserie restoration over the course of 13 years.
