1965 Mustang Coupe - What A Drag

Rick Lane Rolled With The Punches And Went From Drag Car To Show Car With His '65 CoupeThe '65 Mustang you see on these pages has certainly come a long way. While it didn't hap-pen overnight (in reality it was more than five years), Rick Lane's idea to build a drag car with some street manners he could enjoy at the local dragstrip started with a solid plan. The '65 had been sitting forlornly under a carport behind a friend of a friend's mother's house for almost 20 years. Time and the elements weren't kind to the little coupe, but that didn't matter to Rick, who hails from Mt. Airy, Maryland. He was building a drag car, remember? Sure, it'd have some minor creature comforts, but his main plan was to attack the nearby 75-80 Dragway with a stout performance package in a light classic Mus-tang. Rick has owned nearly a half-dozen Fox Mustangs over the years and knew that they were great performance machines. For this specific car, he wanted to do the same but in a classic Mustang body.inline_mediumwraptextright25495100/featuredvehicles/mdmp_0912_1965_mustang_coupemdmp_0912_01_+1965_mus tang_coupe+rearview.jpgTrue
