This 1967 Mustang might look like another Bullitt tribute, but what lies underneath is no ordinary Mustang.
With a fully adjustable, fabricated front end with coil-overs. The rear end remains a live axle but uses a three-link set-up with a Watt’s linkage and coil-overs replacing the rear leaves. The brakes are monster 14-inch Baer slotted and drilled rotors with six-piston calipers at each corner. The front wheels are 18x8s and are matched by 18×9.5s on the rear, which has allowed the use of a 275-section rear Dunlops.
Under the lid, there’s a 347-cube stroker Boss small-block with forged pistons, crank and rods, Z aluminium heads, a meaty hydraulic roller cam, and a too-cool injection system by Dynatek which uses Weber throttle bodies and full electronic engine management. All up, we’re talking 485 horses and 440 pounds of torque.
A Tremec TKO six-speed underlines the motorsport theme here, and the rear end is a Trak Lok unit running 31-spline axles and a 3.70:1 final drive.
Inside, the deal is all about bringing a ’67 Fastback into the 21st century. That starts with stuff like full leather trim, a one-piece headliner, a useable centre console, central locking, power windows and a mega stereo.
Sure, it still looks like a Mustang, but look closely and you soon see that it’s a smoother overall look with no let-up in the aggression stakes. The one-piece fascia with integrated brake ducts sets the mood at the front and is echoed at the rear by the single-piece rear bumper/fascia unit. A twin reverse-cowl bonnet makes the cut and the stamped steel sail-panel really makes a difference to the clean, smoothness of the thing.
Throw in the lower side scoops, dark mesh grille, fog lights and quad exhaust tips and you’ve suddenly made the car very distinctive, yet somehow instantly familiar.
