65 Shelby hood vs 72 Mach One
I thought I would share this. I never thought there was so much difference in the size of the two untill yesterday when I sat the 65 down on the Mach's. The 65 looks tiny. Just thought it would be interesting. Talking about a "long nose" Mustang.

My car didn't have a rearview mirror when I got it. I am used to driving trucks so I am used to only having side mirrors.
Years later I decided to put a rearview mirror in it and I mounted it higher than the factory. I can see out the window better in that one than my other one with the factory location, even with the car being raked.
It still has blind spots though.

There' s a huge blind spot on the side though and the stock "non-convex" right side mirror is almost useless. I wish someone had a modern convex mirror rebuild kit for it.

How many mustangs you got evil?Yeah the 71-73 sport roof the back window is kinda useless to see out of.My dad had a 71 sport roof i learned to drive in it i hated backing it out of the driveway the street was always full of cars only 2 houses on our block had a driveway.Compare the fenders of the two bet the 72 has 3 inches at least on the 65.

65 Fastback twin turbo in progress, 66 vert, 67 "Eleanor" 5.4 blown and injected 32 valve, 68 Shelby GT500KR original, 68 vert, 68 coupe T/A clone, 71 "J" code 429 ram air cobra jet, 72 Mach 1, 73 Sports roof, 93 coupe. I've been at it for a few years. I was just shocked when I sat the 65 hood on the Mach's, the other junk was'nt on there. Hope to paint on the 65 in the am.
