The “Vicious” 1965 Mustang that Timeless Kustoms unveiled at this year’s SEMA show is more than one kind of mashup.
Timeless took a ’65 Mustang notchback, chopped off its top, then grafted on a fastback lid. It then put a custom chassis mated with a Corvette- based suspension under that wide-body sheet metal.
Under the hood, there’s a Ford Performance 5.1L Aluminator V8 with GT350 ported heads, a forged 302 crankshaft, a supercharger…AND twin turbos. That triple charging is good for more than 1,000 horsepower on 93 octane. That monster engine breathes through long-tube headers and a custom center-exit exhaust.
When all of that power gets dumped through the sequential six-speed gearbox, it lights up the rear 19″x13″ wheels/V720 355/30ZR19 tires (the front end changes directions through 19”x11” wheels and V720 305/30ZR19 rubber). Carbon-ceramic 15.5-inch brakes from Brembo – six-piston up front, four-piston in the back – scrub off high speeds. Other safety gear includes a roll cage, fire suppression system, and Sparco seats with safety harnesses.
Jason Pecikonis of Timeless Kustoms calls the “Vicious” Mustang, “The ultimate road race Mustang with a street car environment. It’s nine-tenths race car with one-tenth street car and is an exercise in performance first, before the visual.”
Sounds like another great mashup to us. What do you think?
