For those of you who haven't heard about Pure Vision Designs yet, they're responsible for building some of the most exquisite classic Ford Mustangs.
There's nothing these guy won't do to a Mustang, and their SEMA 2012 Martini-liveried and Indy Car-powered 1966 T-5R Fastback is enough to prove a point. Their latest mission, designing a Mustang for "the main man behind ACS Racing", is no less challenging.
To be more precise, Pure Vision Designs is currently busy with developing a 1970 Mustang Fastback inspired by the very successful Ford GT40s that won four 24 Hours of Le Mans races in the 1960s. Dubbed "Ferrari-killer", the GT40 is Ford's most famous motorsport effort, just like the Mustang is the Blue Oval's most renowned road car. Great mix, huh?
Since a special car requires a special engine as well, Pure Vision is planning on stuffing a John Kaase-built aluminum big block 520 cid V8 under the Mustang's hood. Amen to that! The huge GT40-like powerplant will take the yet undisclosed output to the wheels through a clutch less 6-speed manual.
That sounds awesome and were dying to find out more, but for the time being we'll have to settle for a preview of the 1970 Mustang, which clearly shows some GT40 pedigree with those dual racing white stripes.
