Mark Stevens' 1965 Custom, Modified Ford Mustang Track Car
Put Together By A Baja Trophy Truck Racer, This Custom Mustang Is Built For Track Use.
When we took the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 to Oscoda, Michigan for an SCCA autocross event, we didn’t expect to see this. While the Classic American Muscle (CAM) classes tend to bring out some incredible restomods and pro-touring muscle cars, this 1965 Ford Mustang build is simply on another level. But it’s most impressive features are what you don’t immediately see.
Under the completely custom bodywork rests the front and rear subframes of an S550 Mustang GT350, along the suspension systems. Meanwhile, under the hood is a 5.0L Coyote V8 crate engine.
Along with photographing this awesome muscle car, we had a chance to speak with its owner, Mark Stevens. Stevens, who competed in the 2018 Baja 1000, is taking his building skills and driving abilities to the tarmac. The result is this Mustang build, which is also riddled with trophy truck hardware. The rear lights and the interior equipment mounting rails are just some examples.
