Highlights

Miles non actual on PA title
This 1965 Ford T5 is a German-market Mustang
Was imported into the US and then built into a drag car over 10 years spanning previous and current ownership.
It is powered by a Roush Yates 358ci NASCAR-style V8 that was overhauled and installed following the seller's acquisition of the car in 2018.
Equipment includes a Holley Sniper dual quad electronic fuel injection system, a Weiand tunnel ram intake manifold, an MSD electronic ignition, and a Flowmaster 3″ dual exhaust system as well as four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ Weld wheels, a spooled rear end, and a three-speed automatic transmission with a manual valve body. The body is finished in red with white stripes and rides on a custom tubular steel chassis fitted with a roll cage, rack-and-pinion steering, independent suspension, adjustable coilovers, and wheelie bars. Interior features include a B&M shifter, AutoGage instruments, and red vinyl bucket seats with four-point safety harnesses. This modified Mustang is now offered with a book of refurbishment photos, a Sniper EFI handheld controller, parts literature, engine specifications, dynamometer test results, and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller's name. The body is finished in Rangoon Red with white over-the-top and rocker stripes, and it rides on a custom tubular steel chassis fabricated by Woolford Brothers of Glen Burnie, Maryland. A hole in the hood accommodates the induction assembly, and the rear fender wells have been tubbed. Additional exterior features include a front tow ring, a PGW glass windshield, air extractor vents, quarter-panel side scoops, sequential taillights, and a chrome rear bumper. Polished Weld Prostar wheels with G.T.350 center caps are mounted with 26×7.50-15″ front and 29×18.50-15″ rear Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro tires. The car is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, independent front suspension, a solid rear axle with a four-link setup, and adjustable coilovers all around. Sprung wheelie bars are mounted at the rear. The cabin features bolstered bucket seats upholstered in red vinyl with pleated white vinyl door panels and color-coordinated carpeting overlaid with branded black rubber mats. The interior is surrounded by a roll cage and equipped with Pyrotect four-point latch-and-link harnesses, a B&M Pro Bandit gated shifter, a fire extinguisher, and a nitrous bottle. Dual batteries and a 10-gallon fuel cell are located in the trunk. The Mark Williams steering wheel fronts an aluminum instrument panel housing a 160-mph AutoMeter Pro-Comp speedometer and matching gauges for fuel level, fuel pressure, oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, vacuum, transmission temperature, voltage, and amperage.
