Raw, LOUD & Raunchy '65 Ford Mustang GT350R Inspired Build

Our friend Ryan (co-owner/founder of Shift Sector) wanted to build a loud, raw, mean '65 Ford Mustang so he turned to our friend Nicko at Vintage Motorworks and what he ended up with is simply badass! Old school, loud and raunchy so sit back and enjoy the ride..

For me “period correct” style looks so much better than all the fast & furious restomod stuff. It’s also timeless. Gorgeous car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I like both approaches. This is a great build

[@email4664]

@@AutotopiaLA Agreed. All approaches are pretty exciting really. The end result should be a massive smile

[@themidnighttavern6784]

My mentality fluctuates based on what sort of condition the starter car was in. If everything is still in great condition, and it's all original, yeah don't mess with it too much. But if the car you're starting with is a rusted out husk that hardly resembles a car anymore, go nuts. Anything you would do to it at that point would improve it. Plan on buying a 60s continental eventual and restoring it with batteries and electric motors. Would perfectly suit the character of the car and make it fast as hell.

[@darringrey4329]

Pro touring is look for me , agree fast & furious/ ring brothers/ kindig, nah over top

[@shad3128]

This is a car you could see placed in a F&F movie. I wouldn't be so quick to hate on it. They have a wide variety of stuff all throughout their films. But either way, beautiful beautiful car

[@CrzyMav]

I had a 66 Hertz Shelby with the original top loader and hipo 289 with the original Cobra intake and Ford four barrel. Unfortunately I had to sell it in 1994 for only 12,000 due to my Wife getting pregnant with my first Daughter, It was all re-done with black paint and gold stripes( spent over 12,000). I loved that car like you cant believe. My Daughters that are now in their mid 20's said they would look for it and buy it for me, but I told them (one)they would not be able to find it(two) if they do find it the owner will not sell(three) he will want a lot for it. They said they don't care and Till this day they are looking for it...This car reminds me of my little 66 Shelby Hertz what an awesome built.

[@deanbell4070]

My heart goes out to you brother. I sold my first car, 64.5 coupe, when my son was born. I finally got an 05 gt when I turned 50, great wife pushed for it. I’m better now, midlife crisis… not even a consideration 😇

[@red_fox_flareside]

Absolutely nailed the look! It’s simple yet all of the details were addressed perfectly. Badass car.

[@pokesauceemajin6622]

im a big fan of the old school mustangs, but my absolute favorite is the 65 fast back. they really got it right.

[@suzukigsxr64]

For me, the best car on the channel so far

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s definitely a great build

[@280warrior]

Love the old school look. This is the route I'm going on my fastback.

[@chriscomer1472]

I just bought a 65 with the 200 i6 and 3 speed manual .. Needs work, but is drivable, after I get the brakes done this week.

[@jabawockee199]

Take a shot every time he says “bitchin.” 🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful ride and the plate says it all.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Lol! The plate is the warning 😎

[@jameshutchins3396]

Absolutely love this car. Drive the wheels off of it, rebuild and repeat. I love drivers period

[@imaouima]

if I "drove the wheels off," I'd get some new aluminum ones instead of black.

[@55555711]

I AGREE WITH YOU OLDER CARS ARE BETTER AT PUTTING SMILE ON YOUR FACE WHEN THEY ARE DONE RIGHT

[@freedomstar3814]

The engine in this car sounds a million times better than a modern day coyote !

[@AutotopiaLA]

No question

[@PhillyDee215]

Nothing like driving a old-school muscle car

[@christopherstacy9375]

I love raw cars like that . Awesome

[@JaredR1996]

Ok first of all, that paint is gorgeous and that sound is amazing. What a beautiful car

[@ML-dl1cp]

Inspired. I have a '65 T-code fastback just about to go under the knife; V8 (302), Holley EFI, T5, 3.55 but keeping it old school. Can't wait to get it done!

[@oscarzavala5713]

No frills just thrills.

[@StevenVanLoven]

Dave's white & Ryan's black are one of the best soundmachines I'v seen on this channel . Great to watch ! Thanks.

[@duck539]

Got to meet some Shift Sector guys at Harris Ranch a few years ago .. Good Ass People !!

[@MrBlackbutang]

Throw a full frame and a 374 twin turbo ford in it !!!! Smokey and the bandit wanna gets some beers 🏁🇺🇸cleatus ❤

[@D4VE26]

This is 1 of my favourite, maybe the best I've seen on this channel.. not because of the model as I'm no mustang fan but just the style and execution of build! 🙏

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s such a cool Mustang

[@DETROIT-DIESEL82]

​@@AutotopiaLA hi , it's really you autotopiala2 on télégramm ??

[@CoyoteFTW]

This is perfect love the rawness of the GT350R N/A high revving Ford manual transmission

[@jerrysale9937]

I own a 2020 GT 350 myself, but there is absolutely nothing like a 65. Flashback Mustang! As far as I’m Concerned, that’s the most beautiful card that has ever been created, and what you did to this 65, turned it into an absolute dreamboat! Congratulations, my friend! You have got probably one of the most beautiful Mustang I’ve ever seen, and she truly has a heart and soul! You’re one lucky individual and congratulations my friend! Love from North Carolina!!!❤🫵👊😁

[@MarkCarr331]

Everytime I see a 65/66 Fastback on this channel I get so excited, hope to meet you with my car someday. If you come to Portland area for another 65 Fastback feature let me know!

[@salvadorsierra8224]

Pure american sound...dark Horse..badass Mustang never die..🖤🖤🤩👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🖤🖤

[@briankinnear7461]

That is one badass Mustang. Love everything about it. Original paint and all. Sounds just so nice. Look forward to seeing more. Be safe and stay well.

[@deanbell4070]

No stripes required. That car is just sweet. I bought my dream car, 05 GT, black, no stripes, just genuine 😎

[@musclecargarage8882]

Can't go wrong with mustang especially a fastback 1

[@2kanchoo]

Oh HELL yeah!

[@keithusace4352]

Well here's another one for my fantasy garage collection

[@strongplanted]

This was one sick Mustang!

[@wrxzboost]

love this build. the wheel/tire combo is perfect, nailed it! i think it would look cool with a white stripe, like the 350r.

[@mura0]

to me the wheel/tire/stance make any car and this is spot on.

[@jasontroglin8070]

Absolutely stunning mustang, and the tone of the exhaust is just wicked

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Jason!

[@NinjaMike_Plays]

God I love that Mustang

[@kens8903]

Another dream build. Beautiful NA classic mustang

[@propdoctor21564]

I think this thing is perfect

[@chrislovett6120]

That’s my kind of car right there. Love it, and the 600 miles is just getting it shaken down. Love the choices in power and trans as well as about everything else. What a great driver/fun car

[@suedeops]

That machine is a total racecar. Nice build, great details.

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

Now that is a badass car! It’s a shame it’s not in my garage.

[@davidsmith3746]

I have to say that is one of the sickest mustangs I have ever seen ! I am a mustang guy through and through, I have had 3 mustang gt's in my life and they are the best looking and sounding cars ever. You have a beautiful car have fun with it. Looking forward to seeing another video with that bad boy.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s a cool one for sure!

[@mg_streetkandi]

Great car!!..Those old Vintage cars really have a lot of character. I like the mods that he made. They are very tasteful and complements the car very well..Love it..👍🏽🏁

[@bryanluntz1603]

Good lookin' Mustang Has a great story with it Sounds amazing

[@dakerdakeru7195]

Amazing ! Big Hug ,Daker frow Brazil!

[@deionadurata8392]

I really love your appreciation and fashion in presenting the different modified muscle cars most especially mustang. Keep safe 👍

[@DETROIT-DIESEL82]

Yep ! Encore une bombe 🤘

[@sickjohnson]

The smiles per mile looked super high on this one Shaun, even on the second drive...that says it all right there!

[@M5E39_03]

🔥🔥🔥

[@chrisolevich7538]

Awesome Build!!

[@maksymlapin5751]

What are BEASTS SOUND 🚀 awesome

[@darkchild130]

That’s a beauty

[@theplayernkc]

Perfection for those that actually want to drive the car and not be a garage queen and the stance is perfection, IMO. 👌

[@Panthercholo]

It's perfect.

[@904Derek1]

Gorgeous fastback 😰 💯

[@AutotopiaLA]

Definitely

[@ORGANIZEDCoNfUsioN]

Very nice. Not over engineered. LOVED IT!!!!!!

[@TraitofSiNN727]

those side scoops make this Mustang really badass.

[@richheider8455]

Great 65 Mustang build checks all the right boxes 😀👍👍

[@Rockatha]

Wow that is stunning. If it was a 67 it would be my dream car. I will own a 67 mustang one day but I would put an LS in it as it would be so reliable. I have been wanting a 67 mustang since I was a teenager. My dream is to buy one in California drive it down route 66 and ship it to England and then get building.

[@motherloverjones6008]

What a great build.

[@55555711]

I LOVE MUSTANGS FAST BACK AND THE 1969 AND 70 THIS MUSTANG SOUNDS GREAT WHEN HE GETS ON IT

[@paulleclaire2141]

Its perfect

[@AutotopiaLA]

It is a great ride for sure

[@DG53]

Perfect build.

[@glock22357]

Other than being obnoxiously loud, it's a great package. Nice mild restomod, without going crazy.

[@joshuacstorlie]

That side exit exhaust sounds mint! Nice build!

[@edwardmylnychuk5774]

GREAT VID I LOVE THE SMALL BLOCK STROKER, THAT THE WAY I WOULD GO ALSO

[@kenxiong6830]

Cool build. Thanks Shawn!!!

[@evojoe67]

[@toddclark332]

Thanks bud rad ride ❤️😁👍

[@ivanracine431]

Thé man makes cars stand out great job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@edgarvaca9238]

Funny how he said he’s a fan of harnesses and putting them on😂

[@blackacidevll5826]

Shawn never fails to bring us more awesome rides ! 🤘

[@AZCobraman]

Who else skipped ahead to see if it had an LS in it? 🤣 Whew! Fantastic car, just love it. Real tires, no chrome dubs...just perfect. Had a primer gray 302 powered'66 coupe back in the '80s that I still miss. Had fender flares, the same Shelby front valance, etc.

[@hungryalien]

very outlaw! love it!

[@jeansebastienplaut10]

Perfect beauty

[@bmf00]

I love it. What a cool looking fast driving car.

[@skeptic9368]

This is quickly becoming my fav YT Channel. Love your Mustang vids!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks! We’ve shot a lot of Mustangs and will shoot a bunch more for sure

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!!

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

[@adventureswithedna]

Really sounds great!! Makes me miss the one i had at the end of high school

[@YukonDemon]

Damn Shawn. Very cool car, very cool guest. Another incredible episode. Thank you.

[@CouchHam]

Beautiful Car!!!

[@davidlopez991]

love the car well done, very cool, old school style with smart upgrades.

[@philip77o]

17:57 that exhaust note is just perfect

[@aeenox]

Those Yokohama A052's putting in work! 🤟

[@eliverstonadams4]

I love the car I have 2012 boss 302 it doesn't sound that good .I love the old school sound it put a smile on my face also .

[@richardwarfield7386]

A+ Cool classic

[@aarongrattafiori617]

Not a Ford guy but killer build... Sounds and looks great, very well balanced all around.

[@xavierdraco33]

Stunning.

[@scottiebwaaii2602]

This is a simple but lovely build. I would daily drive this car

[@alexanderthornton147]

The lose grommets on the door locks are the truth… I have never been able to get mine to stay in place

[@adrianstanciu6132]

Nice classic and great sound!👏👍❤

[@cam3002]

Cool car, so glad you did not crash it like what happed to the Comet.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Is the Comet the only video you’ve seen from us?

[@cam3002]

@@AutotopiaLA A while back, there was a GT40 kit car. Seemed real clean for what it was and nicely moded. Turned out that the whole video was a 13 or so minute advertisement for a used kit car. So I guess this is a cool used car advertisement channel is and I lost interest.

[@AlexCerdaPB]

That ammo box speaker is awesome gonna have to look into one for my truck I also don't want to take out the stock radio

[@stacala8]

Music to my ears! 🥰

[@subie25i30]

Fuel inject it and it’s perfect. The exhaust note gave me goosebumps, especially when Ryan rowed the gears. Nicely done.
