'65 Mustang From Calgary - Howdy!

[DrStang]

Hello Pro-Touring community! I've always loved this site and I think it's time to introduce myself and more importantly my car.

It's a '65 that I bought in high school -way back in 1983 in Glen Rock, New Jersey. Through the years, it's assumed many different looks but this is my favourite.

The 'gt-585' was a pre-dyno estimate before the 612hp came in.

Hi Rob,

Wheels are Bullit replicas. I purchased them from americanmuscle.com
the rear's are for the 2005+ Mustang with 7.4" BS. The fronts were 18x9's that I had narrowed to 18x7. Original BS was 5.94" - now it's 3.94"

Great car. I have always liked the 1969 and earlier mustangs. Glad to see friends from north of the border. I visited Banff and Lake Louise when I was a kid back in the early 80's. Does anyone in the area promote any road trips including the Baff and Lake Louise? Any local cruise spots in Calgary? Im looking forward to visiting sometime soon.

Very nice.
Welcome.

Soon like next spring? Snow is already flying around here. Banff, Lake Louise and between the two are some of the most scenic- beautiful mountains you'll ever see. There are not many organized 'road trips' that I can think of. There are your normal 'rod runs' and such, we have the normal car show stuff. Small really- in comparison to what you have for a car scene in the States.

Pretty sharp car....for a Ford :spank2: ...LOL, I do like the color, that Viper Red pops in the sun.
