Here is my newly accuired 65 mustang coupe that is an over the top Trans am street/track car im building ..its got a 351 Cleveland with a toploader and 9 inch out back ..disc brakes up front ,koni shocks all round and an adj panard rod out back..shod with vintage 15 x 8 and 15 x 10 american racing wheels period correct with bfg tires..i will do some updating but overall it will stay this way..my first track day is May 21st at Pocono raceway using the double infield..her are some pics and a short vid of the first test drive...
Sweet...looks like fun and sounds great! Don't see too many '65s with staggered shocks. You'll have to let us know how it performs on the track...just remember to take your cowl cover off first, though...I bet the Cleveland would send that thing flyin', lol!
i need some help i am having trouble finding DOT track tires for 15 inch wheels ..my rims measure at 15 x 8 in front and 15x 10 out back i like the old school look but i want a tire i can drive on the street once and a while and still be good enough to carve the corners on .....any help with tires would be greatly appreciated..

Looks great! I'm in Boston and building a track car also. Are you building for open track days with an old T/A style or are you building for any particular class, vintage or otherwise?

I'm working on two builds simultaneously...so I probably never get either built! Any other special mods? I noticed the panhard and staggered shocks. Any suspension mods up front, SFCs, engine relocation, etc?
Also, who are the flares from? Maier or other? There was another thread on flares on the forum. They might be interested in what your did.

How was the Cleveland swap into the 65? What engine mounts did you use?
I was under the impression that Clevelands had the same motor mount locations and bellhousing bolt patter as the Windsor blocks. But I could be wrong, I usually. am.
