A 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback Used As Showroom Bait - Mustang 360
This hilarious episode came to mind when Paul Gammerino invited us to Mustangs & Fast Fords OC for a shop tour and a close look at one of the more fascinating Mustang projects we’ve seen in a magazine history spanning nearly 40 years. We have affectionately named this Poppy Red 1965 Mustang restomod the “Showroom Fastback” for its most unique plate glass windowed birthplace at Mustangs & Fast Fords OC, 3001 South Main Street in Santa Ana, California.

When he got the car home, he began his restoration efforts in earnest, disassembling the car and cataloging all salvageable parts. “Wanting to build something unique and after decoding the Mustang’s warranty plate, I discovered the car was originally Poppy Red. ” While the Mustang was at Quigley’s Auto Body in 2006, Paul made a difficult career decision. saying goodbye to corporate life ultimately launching Mustangs & Fast Fords OC (MFFOC). For years they spoke of opening a Mustang restoration. Source: www.mustangandfords.com
