Restomod Reverence: 1967 Mustang GT Looks Stunning in Blue and White
This 1967 restomod throws away the idea of looking like a restomod, and we think looks all the better for it.
Older Mustangs are plentiful, which makes the restomod craze quite cool. Some go for different variations of the Eleanor Mustang, but this one is a bit different. In fact, compared to most Eleanor kits, this one is very restrained. But lets take a closer look at some of the details.
There’s a number of things blended and shaved on this Mustang. Starting with the front-end, the front fenders and front fascia are actually blended together into one whole piece. Unlike the production front fascia, this one actually extends past the hood, similar to, but not quite like a Shelby front end since there’s no chrome to really be found. Sadly, we aren’t offered any under-hood shots to see if the flash is as good as the power.
Coming to the side, you can see door handles are also shaved, as is the passenger side rear view mirror. In fact the only chrome left is the window trim, one rear view mirror, exhaust pipes, fuel filler and taillight trim. It all sits on torque thrust style wheels.
Inside is where the highest amount of changes have occurred, and where we believe this one is a ’67 model. A custom dash houses custom gauges, with the dash panel, knee area and center console divided up into white and blue painted sections.
Gauges are all new, and so is the audio unit with 6×9 shelf speakers behind the rear seats and multi element speakers in the foot well.
But the eye catching part of this car is the pure white leather interior. It drapes a number of surfaces, including the newer, re-upholstered seats. But those seats also show wehy we think this one is a 1967 model, since it only has a lap belt, and shoulder belts came into use through the 1968 model year. We could be wrong, and if an eagle eyed viewer spots this as being a ’68, let us know!
