Overview
Motorcars Limited is profoundly honored to present, for the very first time, one of the most meticulously executed 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback restomods to ever hit the open market. This breathtaking machine represents a six-year, six-figure labor of love. The project was masterminded and engineered by the owner of the legendary Predator Carburetor company in Toms River, New Jersey. Blending world-class American hot-rodding heritage with modern supercar performance, this pro-touring stallion is ready for its next discerning caretaker.

Exterior & Bodywork
The visual impact of this Fastback is immediate and unforgettable. Wrapped in a deeply dynamic Octane Red finish, the paint shifts dramatically from a fiery crimson in direct sunlight to a sinister, deep cherry hue in evening shadows.The bodywork was executed with an absolute "no-expense-spared" ethos by the artisans at Kalin Auto Body of Toms River. This was a complete, glass-out, seal-out rotisserie restoration. Every body gap is laser-straight, the panels are flawlessly smooth, and the modern paint finish is utterly impeccable.

Drivetrain & Performance
While its silhouette stays true to the iconic 1965 fastback profile, underneath lies a modern, high-performance heartbeat.

The Heart:
A brand-new Ford Performance Gen 2 5.0L Coyote V8 crate engine, seamlessly managed by a factory Ford Performance electronic control pack.The Power: Dyno-tuned by the experts at Wicked Performance, delivering a fierce, reliable 425.5 Horsepower and 382.5 lb-ft of Torque.

The Sound:
Doug’s long-tube headers flow into a custom Pypes stainless steel exhaust system with an X-pipe, providing a ferocious growl that turns into an exotic mechanical wail at high RPMs.The Support: Kept perfectly cool via an elite C&R aluminum radiator with a high-cfm puller fan, fed by an Edelbrock fuel pressure regulator, and driving power rearward through a custom Dynotech driveshaft.

Transmission & Driver Engagement
For the driving purist, this Mustang delivers an incredibly engaging mechanical experience. Power is routed through a bulletproof Tremec Magnum T56 6-speed manual transmission equipped with a high-clamp Centerforce performance clutch. Gear changes are crisp, short, and lightning-fast thanks to a classic Hurst Competition Plus shifter. Beneath the dash sits a gorgeous, jewelry-like Wilwood adjustable pedal assembly, offering perfect heel-toe ergonomics to match the car's aggressive performance envelope. It has a Ford 9 inch rear with 33 spline axles with a 4.30 gear ratio (The plan was to add a blower for more power down the road)

Chassis, Suspension & Stopping Power
To harness 425+ modern horsepower, the vintage chassis underwent extensive, top-tier structural engineering to maximize rigidity and track-day handling.Rear Suspension: A complete Detroit Speed Quadra-Link system—featuring an upper floor pan crossmember, heavy-duty torque box kit, upper/lower links, long panhard rod, and a matched anti-roll bar.The Stance: Equipped with a Detroit Speed Deep Tub kit and integrated subframe connectors, allowing the car to tuck massive, ultra-wide rear wheels and tires while maintaining a perfectly clean, factory exterior line.Front Suspension: A Rod & Custom coil-over front-end kit replaces the vintage shock towers with a modern crossmember, tubular upper/lower control arms, and a quick-ratio rack-and-pinion steering system paired with an EPAS Performance electric power steering assist unit.
