That sucks! they won't let a car race unless it has legit racing history!? Does it have to be the 65 model year? In the book Fearsome Fords 1959-73, it has a pic and caption from a pair of stangs competing in a rally (Monte Carlo?) Also has a pic of a 65 A/FX drag car (factory backed). Oh and here to quote from the book
" Budget cuts for 1965 eliminated the extensve program of past years, though some mustangs were entered by Ford's european branches and private individuals. Mustangs became instant favorites with private individuals in the U.S and Canada from introduction on, but major factory support was several years off.
Far more extenisve was a drag racing program for the Mustang, yadda, yadda, yadda"

Hope this helps? Its a brief passage but it still indicates that in 65 Mustangs where raced with limited support?
