1967 Mustang Restomod Has More Power Than A Shelby GT500, Sounds Savage

We wonder what's the percentage of people who would argue that the 1967-1868 Mustang is the best Mustang ever built? Pretty high, probably. This was actually the first significant redesign of the original model, the first generation Mustang, and it did see a lot of fame coming its way thanks to Bullitt and Steve McQueen.

At first glance, this 1967 Mustang Fastback might look pretty much stock, as the owner, who lives in Cape Town, South Africa, wanted to go for a more original look. Well, things change when the engine is started as the original unit was swapped out in favor of a 6.7-liter V8 Ford Crate Motor that was shipped from the United States.

The owner opted for the benefits of modern technology by running fuel injection instead of the more old-school carburetors. But when a naturally aspirated V8 just doesn't seem enough anymore, the next logical step is to supercharge it, right? This means that this furious 'Stang is now capable of 800 horsepower and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque!

The result is a series of growls and snarls that would probably even scare off the Kraken itself; it clearly sounds better than our wildest V8 fantasies. The reviewer is definitely getting his senses assaulted while driving the car as he states, "I'm just absolutely in love with this thing. I really, really want one, which is quite problematic because I need to buy a house first, but houses are really boring."

If you consider starting a project like this, chances are that just the stock car will set you back around $70,000. Depending on how much horsepower you're looking to make, get ready to spend at least $15,000 to $30,000 more. And then comes the paint job, several other mechanical upgrades, working hours, and the interior. This means that, at the end of the day, you'll be spending just about what it takes to buy a brand new Ferrari. Then again, the unique factor won't be there if you go down that route.
