Even in factory guise, Ford Mustangs are incredible machines, especially if we’re taking about the ones belonging to the very first generation. An icon for purists, depicted in countless works of visual art, the Mustang has had an immense influence on shaping how people respond to cars.
And then there are custom builds based on the Mustang. Early pony cars wearing this name are fan favorites for custom shops, who throughout the years have come up with versions so crazy no one would have thought possible.
As a rule, one does not mess with the Mustang if one does not know what he’s doing. And the guys who had their way with the 1966 Fastback extensively detailed in the gallery above certainly look like they’re experts.
What we have in front of us is a two-tone pony with so many details stripped from it that if things would have gone any further, the Mustang might have become something else entirely.
The garage behind this build pressed the delete button repeatedly until the car was left with no emblems, radio antenna, side mirrors, rear quarter vents, and dash pad.
Then they went on and fitted a hood gifted with a scoop sourced from a GT350, they glued in the front and rear windscreens so that there are no visible seals, and wrapped the car in Burnt Orange paint on the upper half and Pearl White on the lower one.
As far as the engine goes, it too received special attention, and every single part has been extensively detailed, down to a color to match the exterior. Here too some things have been removed, like the battery side tray, but the additions are much more extensive than what was taken out. Like the 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor fitted on top of the Ford small block 289ci engine.
This particular restomod Fastback is currently listed for sale on the Classic Cars website. The asking price for the 87.500 miles machine is $38,500.
