[@Miatacrosser]

Dark Moss Green...my 64/5 was that color when I bought it in 1970. Painted it LeMans Blue(GM-corvette-'70).

[@lsvip1820]

I love these fast backs. What a clean genuine looking example

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s so good. Probably my favorite year of Mustang is the 67 Fastback

[@paultucker1272]

Whilst I appreciate the high$$ builds you show.....THIS is much more to my taste. It keeps the beautiful looks from the 60s, but with just enough updates to keep it relevant today. And quite possibly the best sounding Coyote powered Mustang I've ever heard. Awesome!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love em all but yes, this one is more realistic for most of us. Perfect driver

[@clubsport9334]

Stance, look, power. This ride has it all. Jealous af.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too. Wish this was mine!

[@julianholm7531]

AutotopiaLA you should add a mustang logo to the grill.

[@legendarymoji]

@@julianholm7531 no shot. This is clearly a Bullit inspired build. No emblem.

[@julianholm7531]

@@legendarymoji the bullitt one should have one too

[@carlosromero4243]

This is my dream car build. If I ever do this and just experience it for one day I could die happy no questions asked.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s so good! Total driver and looks great. Love this car!

[@carlosromero4243]

@@AutotopiaLA yeah for sure, I have a 2017 Mustang GT 5.0, dream is having a restored 67 fastback with 2012 Shelby GT500 heart plant as a daily would be epic.

[@strongplanted]

I'm glad you revisited this one! I loved it the first time!

[@AutotopiaLA]

It deserved it after sorting things out

[@Shadow-ol2ik]

That sound! I like that it doesn't have 16" wide tires on the back. So cool

[@AutotopiaLA]

Perfect old/new blend for me

[@prettybird8942]

I see Coyote and immediately stop what I'm doing and click ! Beautiful Beast right there !

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s such a well done car and now it runs hard like it should

Exactly. Perfect driver and looks great left simple

I’m glad that car got the second chance it deserved! Another great upload Shawn

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks. It’s so much better now. Runs perfectly

[@dlrautomotive788]

I like the overall clean and simple look, no big wheels, no flared fenders, and no added scoops and vents.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Dry simple driver. Perfect blend of old and new imo

[@615al4]

Absolutely love that car. My first car was a 67 coup. Always wanted a fastback. Thanks for the work you do showing us these awesome cars. Enjoy your channel alot

[@615al4]

@@brandonknight7240 mine was white. Gave 950 for it. I was 15., my buddy and i were running the roads , i was on a Big Red 3-Wheeler (the first big thing I ever purchased) paid 1500 for it. I had been working for my Dad since i was 13. After school, all summer long. We did construction and worked many 12-15 hour days in the summer. I made 3.50 an hour. Those were the best times of my life.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you. I think the 67 Fastback is the best Mustang body ever personally. This one is so good

[@615al4]

@@AutotopiaLA I agree. I think the air vents behind the door look good and the beefed up wider look was a big improvement over the 64-66.

[@615al4]

@@AutotopiaLA I like a 67 with a 68 hood.

[@coryholbrook4643]

These cars are my favorites that you do... the not super high end but (almost) Everyman builds, like this one and the old school big block Chevelle you did running 15” rallye wheels still. Absolutely the best versions of these cars. The problem? Not everyone has good taste, even pro builders. They do gimmicky or trendy touches to show off talent, not make a good or well engineered product. Not always but often. Almost always though the cars they build are trends, not timeless. So in a few years these builds are going to look as dated as a pro build from the 90’s does now but classic looks will always be classic, never outdated.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I hear you and agree a lot of time although I really love seeing the builds with radical Fab work for the artistry. But this one is a timeless driver and I love it too!

[@mikknikls8356]

This video worthily continues the idea of ​​the original movie. Perfectly!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you...I absolutely love this Fastback and wish it was mine

[@richardsandoval8157]

Being A territory sales manager for O’Reilly auto parts, I did get to see one of The three Eleanor‘s that were built for the movie gone in 60 seconds here in Wisconsin, being a territory sales manager for O’Reilly auto parts I got to see many of the cars built especially the javelin they came out of the hot Rod Magazine and the knight rider. Also got chip Foose and Richard Rawlings as well as Richard Petty pictures sign and autographed. As well as meeting annoying upper management for the company, these people are awesome That’s why I love working for this company. It is my passion. As well as my coworkers and upper management are so awesome. That is my passion in cars of any kind.

[@Chriostopherbergs]

Retromods are the future. Especially as clean as that beauty. Expect that car and others like it to only appreciate in value.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love this one. Perfect blend of old and new

[@BobbyTucker]

The sound of that Coyote engine was the only music I Like to hear, I love it! Thank's for sharing it. Back in '68, I had a 68 Mustang Convertible, red/ red interior w/white top, 390 4spd, I wanted to trade it in if I could have gotten a green 2+2, none in Flint, Michigan at the time.

[@cameronbrewster7348]

Yes definitely a perfect car! Steve McQueen would be proud!

[@storyteller1749]

Love the old classic Mustangs. And the updated powetrain just makes it better. Nice ride. Get better soon man. But thanks for pushing thru the flu and sharing this video.

[@MrGaryGG48]

Shawn, we want to see you get better soon. Don't push too hard. Listen to your Mom... lotsa chicken soup... it'll do ya good!! ;^)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks guys...close to better finally! Driving cars like this helps

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks @gary goodlund! Getting close now

[@CyberDocUSA]

This was definitely worth a second review! Thanks for the drool factor throughout! 😷👍

[@AutotopiaLA]

It deserved it after getting it all sorted out

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

I've always admired this build. In the perfect world this would be my daily. Sadly, the world is not perfect...

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. Everyday if it was mine

[@gene2200]

Do really like the fastbacks but partial to my 68 Cougar Dad bought new when I was 5, bought it from him in highschool 40yrs back, Restored it right some yrs ago and get over 400hp through a 302 I detuned for pump gas. Wrinkles the tires no problem and goes. Stacy David built a killer version with the coyote, whole lotta work! I get my coyote fix with my F150, runs like a bat outa hell!

[@dudley7540]

437 horsepower......you'll put your eye out!

You are Awesome for digging into the issues for him with a massive improvement that Kyle might had never chased down knowing no different… No hate on Kyle but because of your experience he ends up with a entirely different car that he never knew was that good….Props to you my friend… Love the car and the package…Wouldn’t change anything honestly…Dig It!

[@AutotopiaLA]

And different year but close. 67 not 68. Killer Mustang for sure

I got a 68 Camaro, always been a Chevy fan but I will say the 67-69 Mustang fastbacks are my favorite body style. Them things are just the coolest looking cars there is

[@vinniecorleone62]

Very clean, love the stock look & meaty sound man! I had the same color with my '67 GT Fastback with 390 & 4-speed.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Very cool. I love the set up of this one

[@ryanbaker7404]

A beautiful car and restomod. By far, one of my favs. I, too, kept expecting that black Dodge to show up, lol. I wish my budget would some day allow for such a ride.

[@justabystander3897]

I am very stern on original but some things need to change this build is absolutely beautiful ,I finally decided to upgrade my Mustangs and trans ams to modern drive train so they can be daily drivers I dont want garage queens I want to enjoy them while Im still young and have the money to do the builds great job

[@AutotopiaLA]

That’s awesome! It just makes them more enjoyable and reliable

[@anuoldman]

42 years ago, I learned to drive and drift on the very same car, with original 289 hipo... I remember the cool nights in SoFla , windows open, embarrassing corvettes, and laying down 100 yards of smoke.... oh those were the days.... when I find one, make sure its really locked up, or the ghost of 1982 will be driving it on the Ft Lauderdale strip...... mmmmmm

[@grzegorz36count22]

67 fastback in all configuration. Love it.

[@bzmaro]

I love it!!!! I like how it has a nice balance of engine and exhaust noise

[@AutotopiaLA]

This is such a perfectly balanced old Fastback with modern power. Love it!!

[@themeatnpotatoes]

Dream car right there, feeling like a modern day Steve McQueen

Oh jeez that looks like fun. Glad the exterior looks stock.

[@HenauderTitzauf]

Love the Dark Moss Green Metallic paint. I have, also, a ‘67 Mustang coupe in the same color. Great vlog, thanks for posting and sharing with us.

[@JackF99]

Beautiful build. Obviously needs a new hood. When I was 8 my mom tapped a pole in her "67 GTA (in 67!) Bent the beak down in the same way. I worshipped that car and was heartbroken until it was fixed.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’d love to see this hood fixed or replaced too. Otherwise perfect old/new blend

[@MEMPHISBOI_901]

Man you got the best job in the world

[@AutotopiaLA]

It definitely doesn’t suck 😂

[@Stonecon]

This is exactly what Id want for myself. Future dreams man

[@robdog7516]

I love this car. Something i would drive every day.

[@markbrynteson5141]

I even love the fastback Torino, a lot of people really don’t care for them but if you get the right rear wheels and tires on them they look beast too

[@j.petisch]

I had the same problem with my 64.5 coyote swapped, luckily I had an nGauge attached. When I went through the various gauges, I spotted the AFR showing 26:1 instead of 14.6 on the right bank. I slapped in a new sensor and plugs and was back in the saddle. Apparently those sensors can die easily.

[@AutotopiaLA]

They’re not very reliable. One of them went after replacing with brand new. But once it got sorted it was incredible to drive!

[@rawdyrider]

Timeless classic!

[@AutotopiaLA]

It really is. Perfect blend of old and new makes it a great looking reliable driver car

[@islandaerial3414]

Any '67 Fairlanes?? Nothing sounds like a cross plane V8. Sweet vid

[@AutotopiaLA]

We did Stropes Fairlane a while back. That is an incredible build

[@heavy-weapons-guy7840]

A little bigger tire on the back and this car would be perfect. Super clean build and so glad you guys got the cobwebs out👍🏼

[@AutotopiaLA]

A little more tire and stickier compound for sure!

[@joyhummel]

BIG YES, fucking beautiful classic muscle car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m with you all the way here!!

[@countryprepper4719]

Nice work gentleman 💪

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you...it’s a perfect old meets new blend for my taste

[@gunsandhorsepower]

Man that highland green on a 67 to 68 fastback is unlike nothing else hopefully one day I'll find a fastback or find a coupe to convert

[@darkchild130]

The aesthetic of these cars just does not age. In a hundred years this car will still look better than all the iPads on wheels spat out by the industry.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed 👊

[@coyoteslugger3936]

Can not wait for gt500 swap 🤟🏼

[@AutotopiaLA]

That would be a lot of power for this thing. Definitely more tire needed for that

[@jarronellis5801]

That’s an awesome car a true daily driver not extreme not shaking all over the place has great power looks like it gets off the line very well now I’m probably gonna have to change up my whole game plan for my 65 coupe

old, but very tempting 🤤

[@MrGaryGG48]

My parents had a '66 convertible, new, but the 289 never ran like that. Of course, the Ford-O-Matic 3-Speed Auto wasn't gonna impress too many people either but it was a nice looking car, especially in 1966.

[@gangleri_0181]

I'd love to see a base model 72 done right. Looks more like, but not quite, a 71 from the windshield forward. But, 72 from windshield back. Seems to be somewhat rare nowadays. All you see are Gran Torinos. My first car was a 72 base model with a 351-C. Miss it so much!

[@RobertSiwik1968]

What a beautiful car

[@chrislovett87]

Love that car, glad your shot it again. What transmission is in it?

[@AutotopiaLA]

Trans, engine and rear end are all from a 2014 Mustang 5.0

[@rogerwennstrom6677]

Yeah, this car is still just about the perfect blend of old and new! Perhaps get rid of the leaf springs too, but then it really is spot on! Really want one :) (personally I'd probably select a different colour and style of rim, but that just preference)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. I’d go 4 link rear and a little bigger & stickier rear tire. Otherwise this thing is perfect

I wonder if it could have been made to fit a Roush 5.0L RSC Coyote Crate engine? That dyno's at about 600 HP.

Probably but this is plenty for what this is. With bigger power he’d need subframe world, suspension, bigger brakes, etc. This is such a well balanced driver
