Without a doubt, the most popular post-’48 Ford product is the Mustang. It is the top choice for Ford fanatics, whether they choose to build a drag strip terror, a road racer or a cherry street machine. All the early Mustangs are popular, but one stands out above the rest of the herd: the ’65-’66 2 + 2 fastback. It has all the good Mustang traits plus the sleekest styling. Those factors duly noted, HOT ROD chose a 1965 fastback as the starting point for our Mustang project.
