IT’S NO WONDER THIS CAR, IMPORTED BY PILGRIM MOTORSPORTS, TURNS HEADS...

My name is Liam O’Reilly and I am from West Sussex, England. I’ve got a belter of a car I think you’ll be interested in.

It’s a standout 1965 Ford Mustang Restomod Coupe, an “A Code” originally from California, that’s causing a proper stir.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

The near-perfect Pearlescent Orange paint job with Windsor White stripes makes a real statement. It’s not just a pretty face, though. This car has seen some top-notch restoration and modern upgrades that set it apart from the crowd. It was even awarded a Top 10 Rosette by the judges at the Classic Ford Show 2023.

This Mustang has been kitted out with LED headlights, the light buttons have been relocated, and an electronic handbrake has been installed. For a touch of luxury, there are electric windows and central locking. The interior has been given a full makeover with bespoke leather, wrapped door cards, and a dash pad and TMI seats. It starts at the push of a button and has a touchscreen stereo. The boot build and JL Audio system will blow you away.

But the upgrades don’t stop there. Future plans include swapping the 302 engine for a 347 stroker, changing the C4 transmission to a T5 manual, and overhauling the suspension and brakes. It’s no wonder this car, imported by Pilgrim Motorsports, turns heads wherever it goes.

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
