Zoom Classic Cars proudly presents this striking 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible Shelby GT350 Tribute, a very well-executed homage to one of the rarest and most desirable Mustangs ever built. While Shelby American produced thousands of GT350 fastbacks, authentic 1965 Shelby convertibles were never offered to the public, with only a handful of experimental and prototype cars existing. Their rarity and legendary status have inspired Mustang enthusiasts for decades to recreate the look, performance, and spirit of these unobtainable cars, resulting in some truly great tribute builds like the one offered here.This Mustang began life as a genuine Caspian Blue (Code H) convertible built on April 30, 1965, originally equipped with a 289ci C-Code 2-barrel V8, C4 automatic transmission, 2.80 rear axle and a White Vinyl with Blue Standard Bucket Seat interior. During an extensive restoration and transformation in the late 1980s to early 1990s, the car was stripped to bare metal while retaining its exceptionally solid, rust-free body before being professionally refinished in iconic Wimbledon White with Black GT racing stripes. Today, the paint continues to present nicely with a decent shine and only minor imperfections consistent with its age as pictured. The body remains very straight with excellent panel fit throughout, while the chrome, trim, GT emblems, and bumpers are all intact and in excellent overall condition.Under the hood, the original 289 has been tastefully upgraded with a Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake manifold, Cobra finned valve covers, Cobra oil pan, chrome air cleaner assembly, and a Shelby-style chrome Monte Carlo stabilizer bar, giving the engine compartment an authentic period-correct Shelby appearance. The drivetrain has also been enhanced with a replacement 4-speed manual transmission fitted with a Hurst shifter, making this Mustang a far more engaging driver\'s car. An aftermarket Ford air conditioning system has also been installed and will require servicing to become operational. The exterior captures the unmistakable Shelby personality with a functional-looking hood scoop, GT badging, yellow driving lamps, rear valance GT exhaust outlets, and desirable 14-inch Shelby-style 10-spoke alloy wheels featuring gray recessed centers, polished lips, and tapered spokes. The wheels remain in excellent condition and are wrapped in Dunlop HR GT Qualifier raised white-letter tires, completing the period performance appearance.Inside, the cabin has been converted to a beautiful black vinyl Pony interior that remains in excellent condition. Features include a classic wood-rim Mustang steering wheel, Shelby-style roll bar, GT racing seat belts, and an aftermarket center-mounted Rally Pac with functioning tachometer and oil pressure gauges. All of the vehicle\'s gauges, including the Rally Pac instruments, are functioning as they should, with the exception of the odometer, which is currently inoperative. The black power convertible top is in excellent condition, operates properly, and is accompanied by the matching convertible boot for a clean appearance when lowered. The trunk compartment is very clean and solid, professionally lined, and includes a full-size spare. Underneath, the car presents a clean and solid undercarriage that appears to have been undercoated for long-term preservation and features dual exhaust exiting through correct GT-style rear valance tips. The current Massachusetts owner acquired the car in 2023 and has enjoyed it sparingly. It is evident that the previous owner invested considerable time, effort, and expense into creating this faithful Shelby tribute using primarily OEM Mustang components while maintaining the integrity of the original car. Today it starts easily, runs strong, shifts smoothly through the gears, and delivers the spirited driving experience that has made the first-generation Mustang one of America\'s most beloved classics. Included with the sale are a clean Massachusetts title, the **original owner\'s manual and a comprehensive binder documenting the restoration and Shelby tribute conversion, providing excellent history for the next caretaker. If you\'ve always admired the legendary Shelby convertibles but appreciate the opportunity to own and enjoy a beautifully executed tribute at a fraction of the cost, this 1965 Mustang represents an outstanding opportunity. It offers the unmistakable Shelby look, open-air driving enjoyment, and classic small-block V8 performance in a package built to be driven and admired.
