In a world where mechanics and performance components are
constantly evolving it only make since that Restomods have become
one of the most popular vintage cars on the road today. The all
original stock cars certainly have their place and are appreciated
but unless you are just going to local shows they aren't very
ideal. That is where the restomod comes in. These cars take a
vintage look and upgrade it with more modern technology to make it
much more road worthy in the current times. The cool 66 Mustang
Coupe you see here is done in the Restomod style with a little
hotrod flair to make it one cool custom. The body of the car is
nice and straight with no problems. It is painted in a Silver
metallic color with Black racing strips and the finish has a great
shine. The top of the car was painted a gloss Black as well which
creates a really cool look. It almost references the old vinyl top
cars. A custom hood has been added that incorporates a cowl with
two small scoops up front. This gives it a really neat appearance
from the front especially because the hood fits with the racing
stripes so well. An aftermarket custom grill has been added as well
as the Shelby style front valance. The Weld Racing wheels under the
car have a nice shine and look very tough.
The wider tires in the back let you know it has a little more
packed under the hood than it did originally. It is now powered by
a 347 Stroker motor that runs very strong. It has been built up
with an aftermarket cam, AFR aluminum heads, MSD distributor, and
Ford Racing valve covers. It has a great sound and the car runs
down the road nicely. The motor is paired with a C6 Automatic
transmission that smoothly shifts power back to the Ford 9 inch
rear end. Disc brakes have been added all around and are power
assisted.
The interior is done in Black and is all custom. The upholstery
work looks great and the inserts are done in a honeycomb pattern
that looks really cool. The center console was custom built and
incorporates cupholders, storage space and a ratchet style shifter.
The original gauges have been redone with white overlays and a
second underdash gauge bezel has been added for oil, amp, water as
well as a tachometer with shift kit. An aftermarket stereo has also
been installed and is a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth unit that sounds
great. The trunk is painted Black and houses the fuel cell.
This Mustang has a great look and sounds extremely tough. Whoever
ends up with it is going to have so much fun tearing up the
streets!
