Few things are more heartbreaking than discovering your classic pony car has been stolen. The sting is even worse when it’s your first car, the one you began building at age 14 with your family. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to Olivia Yandall of Bowling Green, Kentucky. If her name sounds familiar, you might recall her stunning, red-and-white-striped 1965 Mustang recently featured here on Ford Muscle. While classics like hers excel in aesthetics and horsepower, security was overlooked in their era, and now her cherished Mustang is missing.
This beauty is hard to miss on the road. Its bright red paint, white stripes, and GT350 livery make it a true standout. A keen eye will notice it was originally a coupe, skillfully converted into a fastback with unique touches throughout.
Although spotting a classic Mustang in America’s heartland isn’t uncommon, Yandall’s 1965 stands out with its handcrafted custom touches, including its striking paint and a fastback top grafted onto the chassis. Other unique details include a custom gas cap, speakers mounted in the kick panels and rear passenger area, a modified steering wheel, a custom grille, and a dashboard-mounted tachometer. Under the hood, it boasts a hydroboost brake setup requiring a notched left-hand valve cover, along with a brand-new Holley front accessory drive.
Yandall highlighted several distinctive features to look out for, including a custom tachometer mount, a unique fuel cap, and a custom interior with speakers installed in the kick panels and rear seating area. Under the hood is a 347 stroker engine recently upgraded with a brand-new Holley front accessory drive and a notched left-hand valve cover to accommodate the hydroboost brake setup.
