JUST COMPLETED! 1965 MUSTANG SHELBY HERTZ RENT-A-RACER TRIBUTE !





FIRST, LET'S CLARIFY THAT WE ARE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THE HERTZ RENT-A-RACER PROGRAM WASN'T INSTITUTED UNTIL SEPT. 1965, AND '66 MODELS WERE USED. THIS IS A 1965 BUILT INTO A '66 TRIBUTE VEHICLE.

HERTZ RENT-A- RACER:

In September of 1965 Shelby American General Manager Peyton Cramer struck up a deal with Hertz to offer the 1966 GT350H Mustang as a rental car. The program was a clever one for Ford and Shelby as it worked to promote the Shelby Mustang to potential buyers. As Ford puts it, “The idea was to put high-performance, special-edition Shelby Mustang coupes into the hands of racing enthusiast-minded rental customers.” That’s right, if you were a Hertz Sports Car Club member back in 1966 (and 25 years of age), you could drive off the rental car lot in a performance 306 hp Mustang fastback. Total cost: $17 a day and 17 cents a mile. Not a bad deal by today’s standards and not a bad deal back then.

Lazer straight, all steel body panels. This beautiful machine spent it's life in Kentucky and Tennessee. Show quality, mirror gloss Raven Black base coat/ clear coat exterior finish. Gold Shelby striping. Shelby scooped hood and side fresh air scoops. Gold side striping. New Eleanor wheels and new directional radial tires. New front and rear bumpers. New Shelby gas cap. New door handles. New drip rail moldings. Remaining chrome and stainless is original and in great shape. Dual exhaust exit from the lower valance cutouts. All glass is crystal clear.

Rebuilt 289 Cu. In. engine. Holley four barrel carburetor. Cobra valve covers and air cleaner. Runs and drives well. Manual steering. Manual brakes. Full Flowmaster exhaust. C-4 automatic transmission. Eight inch rear differential.

All new Black vinyl bucket interior. New seat covers, door panels, carpet, etc. Original dash is in excellent condition. Fold down rear seat. Original woodgrain 3 spoke wheel. Cobra tachometer mounted on dash. Seat belts. Factory AM radio. Single chrome bullet mirror.

Highly detailed undercarriage. All original pans were stripped and refinished in 30* Gloss Black.

If you are looking for a show winning, dependable driving, Hertz Rent-A- Racer and don't want to spend $150,000, this car may be for you. You won't find a cleaner example anywhere.

1965 A- Ford Mustang Resto Mod
Click Photo (More Info.)
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. ALTHOUGH THERE SEEMS TO BE CONFUSION AND DISAGREEMENT AMONG AUTO ENTHUSIASTS AS TO THE DIFFERENCE, THE FACT IS THAT PRO TOURING AND RESTO MOD ARE TWO DIFFERENT BUILDS WITH TWO DIFFERENT PURPOSES. THEY MAY LOOK AND SOUND SIMILAR, BUT THEY EACH HAVE A SEPERATE NICHE IN THE PERFORMANCE WORLD. THE BUILDER OF THIS HOT ROD HAD A VISION. HIS VISION WAS TO COMBINE THE NEW SCHOOL PERFORMANCE OF A RESTO MOD WITH THE HANDLING AND ROADABILITY OF A PRO TOURER. THIS MUSTANG IS A NICE BLEND OF BOTH WORLDS, AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A 1965 MUSTANG! IT TOOK FOUR YEARS TO BUILD THIS PERFORMANCE MACHINE. VIRTUALLY EVERY COMPONENT ON THIS VEHICLE IS RESTORED, REPLACED, OR REBUILT.

Every car enthusiast is familiar with the story of the Ford Mustang. The Mustang single handedly created a new classification in automobile lore- Pony Car. A sports car design with long hoods, short rear decks, and a V8 engine. This was in response to the invasion of the European sports cars, most notably the British models. The target market was the Baby Boomer generation, which were just entering the car market. The Mustang has stood the test of time as the most popular and iconic vehicles in the history of automobilia.

Of course, the Mustang launch was an overwhelming success. The first day of sales, 22,000 units were sold. 400,000 were sold in the first twelve months, and over a million were sold in the first two years. Now approaching the 50th anniversary year, production has approached or exceeded ten million units. The Mustang is the third oldest nameplate in Ford history, surpassed only by the F Series truck and the Falcon (Which is still produced in Australia).

From first year of manufacture, the hot rodders and gear heads started tinkering, modifying, and upgrading these Mustangs in an effort to increase performance. To this day, the five generations of Ford Mustangs are abundant on the street, at the strip, and at road courses nationwide. In fact, the fifth generation drew inspiration from the original, first generation 1964-1970 Mustangs. The design has been dubbed Retro-Futurism. The original Mustang was back, in an upgraded and improved form, and sales skyrocketed. The rest is history.

In the early days, the modifications and performance upgrades were not complex, as technology was still very basic. As time evolved, new developments in the automotive aftermarket industry created two new classifications- Resto Mod and Pro Touring. What is the difference? Ask fifty auto buffs the definitions, and you will get fifty different answers. Some people believe the answer is as black and white as Pro Touring refers to GM based vehicles, and Resto Mod to Ford. That is incorrect.

A simple explanation would be as follows: A Resto Mod is a classic that has been restored using modern components to upgrade drivability, comfort, and safety. A Pro Touring has more of a European orientation. Emphasis is on higher speed performance, handling, and braking.

As stated, this Mustang combines aspects of both classifications. To simplify the ad, here is a list of the new, rebuilt, etc. components on the vehicle: New - Billet upper and lower grille front fiberglass lower valance front and rear bumpers radiator battery Kelsey Hayes disc brakes power booster and master cylinder rear brakes shocks - all four fender bolts Monte Carlo brace AOC valve air fuel mixture unit solenoid
