1965 Mustang 2x2 Fastback - Morphing The Memories

On This '65 Fastback The C Engine Code Stands For CobraKarl And Jan Moser’s ’65 Mustang 2+2 Fastback The origins of the story begin sometime ago when Karl Moser of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was 17 years old. At that time he became the owner of a '66 Shelby GT350, inheriting the white and blue striped car from an older brother. The GT350 was surely the genesis of many fond memories, and he tellingly says that he "lived to talk about it." He sold the Shelby in 1983 for a sum of $3,200. Since that time he has always loved Mustangs. I guess you could say that Carl sounds like a lot of us, with our taste in classic Ford cars formed early on. Also, like a lot of us, when the time came for the inevitable mid-life crisis, that predisposition toward Fords had a big influence on his course of action. He yearned for the Shelby he had owned long ago and decided to create a car to rival or exceed it. After an extensive search he finally settled on a '65 C-code fastback that he found on eBay. The two-barrel V-8 Mustang was little more than a rolling shell when he got it home from Bakersfield, California.inline_mediumwraptextrightStance is a science and Karl has clearly done his homework. The rake isn't too radical, but it's enough to give the car an aggressive look. The cooling duct openings in the GT350 R front valance are functional. If you look closely you can see the owner-fabricated sub-frame connectors and the under rider-style Traction Master traction bars.26427952/featuredvehicles/mdmp_0911_1965_mustang_2_by_2_fastbackmdmp_0911_11 _+1965_mustang_2_by_2_fastback+frontview.jpgTrue
