Welcome to Street Dreams Texas as we celebrate our 27th year in the classic and muscle car business. Since 1999, we've specialized in putting dreams in driveways - and this one is the kind of dream that shows up loud, fast, and unapologetic. Feast your eyes on this wicked 1965 Shelby GT350-H Tribute, one of the wildest Mustangs we've had the pleasure of driving. The H refers to Hertz, the century-old rental car company that partnered with Shelby American in 1966 to supply high-performance Mustangs for its Sports Car Club program - a partnership forever linked with Carroll Shelby. While most originals were finished in black and gold, a handful were delivered in other colors - including 61 red cars without stripes - making the history as cool as the cars themselves. This gorgeous '65 captures that iconic black-and-gold presence - but what's under the hood is where this car separates itself from the past. Modern Muscle Beneath a Classic Hood Lift the scooped fiberglass hood and you'll find a Ford 5.0L DOHC 32-valve Coyote V8 - a 7,000 RPM screamer that produces FAR more power than an original Shelby ever dreamed of. This all-aluminum powerhouse delivers explosive acceleration, razor-sharp throttle response, and a soundtrack that is nothing short of addictive. Supporting performance upgrades include: Custom stainless 80mm throttle body air induction system i Speed Inc. return-style fuel system Stainless Works long-tube headers High-capacity 8-quart oil pan Aluminum radiator with electric fan SCT Performance tuning This is modern Ford performance wrapped in vintage attitude. Built to Drive - Hard Power is routed through a Spec clutch to a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission and into a bulletproof Ford 9-inch rear end with aggressive 3.90 gears. The result? Brutal acceleration and highway-friendly cruising in fifth gear. Handling and braking match the horsepower thanks to: Heidts front subframe Tubular steel control arms Coil-over shocks Heidts Power rack-and-pinion steering HD front and rear stabilizer bars 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors Custom 2.5-inch MagnaFlow stainless exhaust with X-pipe The power-to-weight ratio is astounding - plenty of power, no waiting - and the car feels planted, responsive, and confidence-inspiring whether carving corners or cruising the boulevard. Nitto high-performance tires (225/45ZR17 front, 245/45ZR17 rear) wrap alloy wheels with Hertz Sport Car Club spinners, giving the car an aggressive stance that perfectly balances vintage style and modern grip. Rotisserie Restoration & Show-Stopping Presence This Mustang began life as a solid 1965 fastback and underwent a comprehensive rotisserie restoration. The body was meticulously massaged into a wave-free, arrow-straight canvas before being finished in Ford Code A Raven Black basecoat/clearcoat and topped with Code Z Sauterne Gold Metallic Shelby stripes, complete with correct G.T. 350 H callouts. Highlights include: Fresh Ceramic Coating Shelby-style grille with offset Mustang emblem Shelby GT350R front valance with Elanor Style Fog Lights Fiberglass hood with Shelby scoop Shelby exclusive plexi-glass rear quarter inserts Chrome GT350 fuel filler cap Excellent brightwork and trim throughout Classic Interior with Driver-Focused Upgrades Inside, you'll find a nicely restored factory-style black vinyl interior that honors Shelby tradition while delivering modern comfort.
