Soft-spoken Jeff Schwartz would be my first port of call if I was ever in the market for improving the chassis and drivetrain of an older American car. I suspect Jeff has only scratched the surface when discussing the work that went into preparing this beauty.

@melodicdreamer72

Yeah, he was pretty quiet about all that was done to the car. Since he is someone that works to improve handling of the older cars, the reason they start with the chassis, I would have liked to see the suspension upgrades that were done. I am sure there are some pretty impressive horsepower and torque numbers in there as well. That 427 ci engine, with a fuel injection setup looking like a dual 4-barrel carburetor, likely doesn't have the magic stop there.

Never cared much for bright paint colors, stripes, spoilers, consoles , bucket seats, and fancy wheels and trim. Most of that stuff just adds weight to the car and draws unwanted attention. The only options that matter to me are the ones that actually make the car faster. This is exactly my style of muscle car

Excellent restoration. Like the fuel injection upgrade to the 427 and the Tremec 6 speed manual replacing 3 on the tree. Because the owner said he was hoping for 18 mpg on the open road, would recommend rear end at 3.23 max and nothing above it. Putting in a 3.07 or even 2.93 rear gears will really help mpg numbers. (It will also raise top speed not that that is really important.)

My dad bought a 65 Ford Custom with "Fords All New 150 HP 240 Big Six". This was the first year for the 240 and my dad had nothing but trouble with it. Main issue was with the head gasket. With such a long engine the head would twist apart from the block and oil would mix in with the coolant. However these "teething" problems were soon fixed and eventually the 240/300 Ford six became one of the best engines Ford ever made.

Hi HPOWLMAN, Nice! Lou

Of course Ford dominated 1965 NASCAR. Chrysler boycotted 1965 because NASCAR outlowed the hemi engine. Don't get me wrong i love your car. It's one of my favorite year Ford's.

Looks like one, but a base model.

That car is not Teal Blue. It might be Nightmist Metallic Blue. or Navy blue

Hi Steve Osgood, Buying the monthly pass gets me 2 extra rides :-) Lou

You almost got me again. I don't like these hybrid crap cars. Give me old school or give me a car crusher.
