Built as a collaboration between Barrett-Jackson Builds and Fender
Custom Shop, this 1969 Ford Mustang Resto-Mod was designed and
built completely in-house at Barrett-Jackson and marks the first
time a Barrett-Jackson Builds vehicle will be offered at auction.
The Mustang is accompanied by a matching 1969 Fender Stratocaster
designed by Fender's Custom Shop director and Principal Master
Builder Ron Thorn. The Mustang is powered by a BluePrint engines
347ci V8. The stroked Ford small-block produces a dyno-proven 419hp
and 436 ft/lbs of torque. The V8 is fed via a FiTech Fuel Injection
system. Speedway Motors provided a set of custom headers and a full
exhaust system, and power is handled by rebuilt automatic
transmission that sends drive to a 9-inch posi-traction rear end
with 3.50 gears. The Mustang grips the tarmac thanks to a set of
Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires wrapped around a set of
custom painted 18-inch Rocket Attack Series wheels. Bringing things
to a halt is a set of Wilwood 12-inch-diameter vented brake rotors
and 6-piston Dynapro calipers. The ample stopping power is backed
up by a Wilwood Compact Tandem master cylinder. For the ultimate in
handling and performance, the Mustang uses a RideTech bolt-in
4-link rear suspension, HQ series coilovers and steering kit. Every
panel was sanded and polished to the bare sheet metal and painted
in gloss black with a contrasting matte hood and trunk. The hood
sports a custom Boss 429-inspired scoop, and Billet Badges created
special Fender badging and lettering. Some of the world's best
automotive performance brands contributed to bringing this
Resto-Mod Mustang to life, including Eddie Motorsports taillights
and hood hinges, an Old Air Products climate-control system, Steele
Rubber Products weatherstripping, Vibro Solutions sound-deadening,
Airaid/K&N Engineering intake and air filter, Classic
Instruments gauges, Kicker Audio speakers and a trunk-mounted
Fender Deluxe amplifier. (More photos coming soon.)
