June has to be the month of the old school Mustang Mach 1. After we’ve seen a ’71 example defying a tornado, now we want to talk about a Mach 1 that’s even cooler.
Actually, we’re not sure whether we should call this a Mach 1 or not, since we’re actually dealing with a Blue Oval Frankenstein. The beast has devoured some attention on the Hot Rod Power Tour this week and for good reason.
If you look at it from the distance, you might be tricked into believing this is the original Mach 1, but only for a few brief moments. Pay attention though and you’ll notice something a bit odd. In fact, this contraption is more than just a tad on the strange side.
For one thing, the car is mid-engined. We can’t be sure just by looking at the photos below, but it appears this one is motivated by the supercharged 5.4-liter V8 from the Ford GT.
The engine compartment sports carbon fiber details, while a roll cage tries to stay hidden inside the cabin. Rumor has it the vehicle has been built using parts from a DeTomaso Pantera, so we might have a hell of a melange here.
The only part we’re not so fond of is the cabin. It appears some corners have been cut here. What really grinds our gears is the 1990s Mustang dashboard.
Then again, with such a mechanical package, we expect both driver and passenger to be short on time when it comes to paying attention to the interior details. For one thing, we expect the message on the number plate to be anything but false.
