Description for Ford Mustang 1965

Tired of looking for a '65 Shelby "clone" and finding nothing but fastbacks with stripes painted on them and everything else is incorrect?A lot of research has gone into this car to make it to be exactly the way Carroll built them. There are however 2 exceptions: the rear fold down seat was left intact. which in turn does not allow for the override traction bars to be installed.
