Yellow Jacket - 1965 Mustang

I am not the photographer of this image – I am merely the Photoshop editor.

 

History

 

Well known for their ability to transform Mustang’s into modern masterpieces, the Ringbrothers have set the bar even higher with Bowers ’65 Mustang. The body was widened an incredible four inches, highlighted by the custom BASF * (orange) paint, and both the hood and roof are carbon-fiber – signature Ringbrothers touches. Under the hood is high compression Keith Craft-built 427 cubic inch stroker based on the 351 Windsor small block making 740 crank horsepower. The matte finish three-piece wheels designed by the Ringbrothers were built by Forgeline. Baer brakes, Afco shocks and a suspension consisting of front tubular A-arms and a Watts link set up in the rear give the car razor sharp handling. The car gets its name (in this graphic image) from (The) Appleman. See link shown below for the “actual” name (and credit) for which this car was named.

BTW – the blue oval object evident on the front is the oil filter. Clever placement, huh?

 

* NOTE: The paint color on the car was changed in Photoshop............why? Well because, I thought this was a better color for the car and I liked the name..... (now maybe the Ringbrothers might not agree...........! )
