And all these people should check out this 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 that’s essentially a new car in an old car, a rare mix that’s further enhanced with a series of welcome upgrades.

First and foremost, the Mustang is described as an “all-new construction,” with the owner explaining in a listing on eBay that it was built new in 2008 by Panoz for Equus Automotive.

The Mustang is now powered by a 2008 GT500 engine and features Brembo brakes, as well as a series of modern features like ABS, TPMS, cruise control, and air conditioning from a 2008 model.

The interior itself has also been replaced, so instead of stepping into a ’67 Mustang, you’re actually getting behind the wheel of a 2008 model. The stock interior has been used, so if you previously drove the 2008 Mustang, there’s a chance you’ll feel like home in this car.

And in addition to all of the above, the Mustang also comes with a bunch of features that wouldn’t be possible on a vintage model without modern upgrades, including OBD2 support and catalytic converters. It’s already equipped with new Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires.

The wheelbase is altered from a stock 67, thus the big flares to disguise the wheel arches. Motor sits behind the front axle for optimal handling,” the owner explains.

The Mustang is finished in satin black primer and comes with small things that need to be fixed, including one rock chip in the upper right corner of the windshield. It has just 4,200 miles (6,760 km) on the clock since it’s been modernized.

As for the price, the owner expects to get $65,000 for this rare Mustang.
