1967 Ford Mustang Pearl Gray with red stripes Fastback

If you only glanced at the lead photo for this Mustang, you might dismiss it as another “Eleanor-style” movie-car clone, but look just a little longer and you’ll see something quite different. This Mustang hits the restomod approach hard and has a complete retrofit chassis from Schwartz Performance slipped underneath its unit-body structure. The new suspension uses coilover shocks, though it maintains a solid axle at the rear—a custom aftermarket 9-inch. The Ford Windsor-based engine reportedly incorporates some NASCAR bits in the form of Yates cylinder heads and other upgraded hardware, and feeds a Tremec six-speed. Outside are Shelby cues and inside are lots of custom touches and red upholstery. This one is wild, and while it may not appeal to Mustang purists, it checks a lot of the right boxes for enthusiasts immersed in today’s restomod movement. – TM

Comprehensively customized inside and out — and under the hood — this 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback restomod has around 2,200 miles on its reportedly “no expenses spared” build. Highlights include a Schwartz Performance G-Machine chassis, contemporary coilover suspension elements, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and more. It’s also powered by a reportedly street-tuned version of a Robert Yates-based NASCAR Windsor small-block V8 engine that’s backed by a Tremec six-speed manual transmission. The car has a custom interior with air conditioning and it also wears 18- and 20-inch Schott wheels. “It’s an over-the-top build in excellent condition,” says the selling dealer, who is representing the car on consignment.

The selling dealer states that it will provide a clean Florida title in the consignor’s name. There doesn’t appear to be a square inch of this 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback restomod that wasn’t touched during the build — and with less than 2,000 miles on it, the car’s construction still appears fresh. According to the seller, no expense was spared in its comprehensive makeover and it shows.
