Vehicle Description
No need to adjust your monitor, there's nothing wrong; this 1969
Ford Mustang fastback really is that low. Professionally built to
show standards, this Mustang is more than just radical, it's a
runner! With a 428 Cobra Jet V8 up front, 4-wheel disc brakes, a
5-speed, and big wheels and tires, this is a pro-touring Mustang
with a wild look that nobody will be able to duplicate.
High-end customs like this rarely come to market, but if you want
to stand out and get noticed, a pro build is a great way to do it.
The roof was chopped two inches and sectioned three inches to give
it that radically lowered profile, but it remains instantly
identifiable as a Mustang. The astronomical amount of work required
to build this car is visible everywhere you look, because without
another Mustang next to it, it's hard to see where the
modifications really took place. The fender flares still look
right, the scoop in the quarter panel is intact, and while it looks
even wider than stock, that part is just an illusion. Spectacular
black paint is just the right choice to showcase the radical
metalwork, and it's deep enough to prove that nobody was cutting
corners on this build, because it's simply gorgeous. Red stripes
are a riff on the Boss 302 and Mach 1 graphics, and all the factory
stainless trim was trimmed, modified, and shaped to fit the altered
windows. Out back there's a custom light bar for a taillight, the
only part that doesn't quite look like it's from a Mustang. You
could walk around this car for hours and not see all the tricks
used to make it look like this. It's astounding.
Don't worry, the interior is fully operational and comfortable
enough for real-world use. The buckets are from a C3 Corvette, so
they're the right size and shape for a low-slung car like this. The
Mustang dash was subtly reworked and filled with beautiful Classic
Instruments gauges in a carbon fiber panel and even the stock
Mustang door panels were reworked to fit in the sectioned doors.
Too cool! A 5-speed manual transmission has a cool carbon-fiber
mini console and a pistol-grip knob and the three-spoke steering
wheel is elegant. Full custom carpets, a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo
system, cold A/C, and a few additional bits of carbon fiber make
this a great place to hang out. It's strictly a 2-seater, with the
former back seat area converted to a rather spacious storage shelf,
while the trunk carries a spare tire assembly with matching
cover.
This Mustang remains 100% Ford thanks to a burly 428 Cobra Jet V8.
It's tucked into the engine bay rather neatly, considering that
they had three fewer inches of clearance under the hood. Wearing
Ford Blue, it looks right, particularly with the oval air cleaner
and finned valve covers for a vintage Ford performance feel. It
isn't radical, but in this car, does it really need to be? It's
reliable, powerful, and a lot of fun to drive thanks to the 5-speed
manual gearbox and 4-wheel disc brakes. The front suspension is
Mustang II with rack-and-pinion steering, so it feels modern, while
the rear suspension is directly from a 2001 Mustang GT. It's
amazing how smooth and composed this custom feels on the road. The
custom exhaust system tucks up neatly to give it that
pavement-hugging stance and it sits on 17-inch Coys alloy wheels
that look giant only because of the radical body mods.
Very few show cars drive as well as this one, and it looks
spectacular. If you want to start winning the truly big trophies or
just enjoy having the most radical car at any show you attend, this
Mustang is the ticket. Call today!
