Back in the day, this Motion Performance sponsored Mustang lived on a steady diet of Camaros. It’s back and still hungry!
Originally owned by Frank Reimer and wrenched by Fred Greco, friends from the Baldwin, Long Island (NY) area, it has been restored by Greco who now owns it. Fred races the Shelby-ized racecar and showed it at the Baldwin-Motion/MOTION Reunion at MCACN 2010 in Chicago. Prepared and tuned by Larry Smith, the Mustang’s windows are still plastered with “kill stickers” from area drag strips.
Powered by a stroked Boss 302 small-block displacing 336 cubic inches, the ’65 K-Code Mustang is painted Rangoon Red and striped, when new and since being restored, by Gary “Local Brush” Kupfer. Powertrain updates include a Hurst-shifted four-speed top-loader and a Holman & Moody nine-inch rear with Detroit Locker and 31-spline axles. When new it had been featured in a multi-part build story in CARS magazine.
