Iconic Silhouette

The iconic Mustang silhouette is kept fully intact and perfectly accentuated by some custom bumpers, front, and rear. The whole package sits neatly perched on some serious rubber tucked into an extra 2.5 inches of clearance thanks to Detroit Speed's Mustang mini-tub set up.

Pony-car Presence

A nice blackout panel added to the rear gives this build some extra menacing character, while the Detroit Speed's Aluma-Frame front cradle/suspension makes this beauty sit lower and gives it that classic pony-car presence.

A Throughout Build

This throughout build wouldn't be complete with an immaculate interior and this Mustang doesn't disappoint. The upholstery is mostly stock but features some extra goodies like race harnesses and a healthy roll bar to keep everything sturdy and safe.

Classically Modern

The dash is mostly classic, adorned with a clean brushed aluminum treatment and an iconic Mustang steering wheel. The instrument panel has been upgraded to modern billet gauges that feature a soft blue backlight giving this classic interior a timeless but slick modern feel.

Modern Muscle

Here we finally see the heart of this stellar build, the 5.0L Coyote crate from Ford Performance. Featuring 435 horsepower, this motor gives this Mustang a perfect balance of usable and reliable power. The setup is mated to a T56 six-speed from a 2008 GT500 which lets it get up and go in a hurry.

Tasteful Touches

Some aftermarket throwback wheels are the perfect addition to this build as it sends a visual cue of classic meets modern. A slick side exhaust make this Mustang feel even more muscular while classic vents and graphics pay homage to an original Mustang fresh off the line.
