Does this Mustang look fast to you? My friendsand#44; this 1969 Ford Mustang fastback IS fast. With a built 351 cubic inch Windsor V8and#44; a 5-speed manual transmissionand#44; and a bunch of suspension upgradesand#44; this is the resto-mod your mother warned you about. First offand#44; that stunning burgundy paint has never looked so good as it does on the 69 Mustang fastback bodywork. Already one of the greatest designs of the muscle car eraand#44; the spectacular paint only adds to the appeal and youll probably get tired of everyone asking you about it every time you stop. Or notand#44; because EVERYONE thinks this is a gorgeous carand#44; especially with that blacked-out hood. Fortunatelyand#44; since the builder knew that all eyes would be on himand#44; he made sure the work was done rightand#44; which means crisply rendered detailsand#44; beautiful panel alignmentand#44; and a hand-rubbed finish thats hard to resist touching. All the cool Mustang performance details remainand#44; including the chin spoilerand#44; ducktail spoilerand#44; and hood scoop. At the same timeand#44; there are a few custom details like the black grilleand#44; painted bumpersand#44; and exactly zero stripes or decals that make it look very sleek and smooth. In factand#44; smooth is the perfect description of this Mustangand#44; since all the emblems and extraneous trim has been shavedand#44; letting the predatory shape speak for itself. The all-black interior sticks to the original designs intentand#44; but takes it up a notch with custom Cobra bucket seats that hold you in place far better than the slippery original chairs. The door panels are beautifully rendered to match the new seats and the back seat was reupholstered to give the entire interior a very consistent look. New white-faced Auto Meter gauges fill the dashand#44; visible through the spokes of a custom leather-wrapped 3-spoke wheel atop a tilt columnand#44; so it feels quite modern from the drivers seat. The transmission is a Tremec TKO 600 topped by a Hurst cue ball shifter for a vintage vibeand#44; and the custom center console is a practical touchand#44; complete with built-in cup holders that were sorely lacking in the original design. Finallyand#44; a great-sounding RetroSound stereo system and a modern A/C setup make this a car you could happily drive every day. And they didnt cut corners in the trunkand#44; eitherand#44; which is fitted with custom black carpets and a spare tire cover. The built 351 cubic inch V8 has more than enough power all by itself to make things very entertaining. Its a 1975 block with Roush200 headsand#44; a FAST carburetor on an Edelbrock intake manifoldand#44; and exhaling through a set of long-tube headersand#44; and all together its making an estimated 450-500 horsepower at the crank. The fully dressed small block wears aluminum valve covers from Ford Racing so it looks cleanand#44; and functionally its ready to rock with a big 3-core radiatorand#44; heavy-duty alternatorand#44; and a fresh rack-and-pinion steering setup. Dropped springs give it that awesome stanceand#44; Koni shocks nail it to the pavementand#44; and the brakes have been upgraded to discs at all four corners. The throaty dual exhaust is a stainless Magnaflow setupand#44; and out back a Mustang 9-inch rear ensures that breakage is a non-issue. Slick 18-inch Budnik wheels wear 255/45/18 front and 275/40/18 rear BFGoodrich G-Force radials. Fastand#44; beautifuland#44; and fully sortedand#44; this is the kind of Mustang that youll never get tired of driving or showing. Call today! |
