1965 Mustang Fastback Restomod – A 13-Year Labour of Love

Chris Taylor's 1965 Mustang Fastback has been a 13-year project, blending classic style with modern upgrades. Originally imported from Oklahoma with a straight-six engine, it now runs a 5.0L 302 V8 paired with a Lincoln 3-speed auto transmission with overdrive. The body was in great shape, but a deep restoration revealed hidden filler—now fully corrected with new parts inside and out. Finished in the iconic Eleanor grey with black stripes, the Mustang features a push-button start, upgraded seats, and rare rear headrests. A true restomod that turns heads everywhere!
