That's fast with 1965 suspension. No power steering, gear and sector steering box, rear springs and shackles, helical gear transmission. Damn, I want one.

You shoulda bought the one in my avatar a few years ago when I sold it........the car with 16 gallons of gas in the fuel cell,ready to race weighed in at a tad over 2700 pounds and that is with factory front /rear glass...lexan in the front and rear would take off 50 pounds maybe and I had at least 75 pounds of extra bars in the roll cage....2500 to 2550 would easily be possible for about $400.00..............
580 hp would be nice,my homebuilt /swap meet parts engine made 475hp/440 torque..... no way could I afford 35 thou. for a race engine, had a lot less than that in the whole car race ready!!!!!!!!!!
There is one 65 Mustang out there Vintage racing with a chrome moly cage that actually has been weighed at a tad UNDER 2500 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!
