Coyote Swapped and Flared Badass 1967 Mustang Fastback

You guys probably know that I love a well done Mustang and this one fits the bill. Art has been building this one on and off for 6 years and it's really close to being complete. He takes us for a walk through of the build which features a Coyote swap, beautiful flares to the fenders & quarters, Detroit Speed Suspension and a ton of custom fabrication.
Sit back and enjoy this one...

This is exactly the type of Mustang we all wish we had in our garages. This man decided to just build it. If only we could get some Ford executive down to his shop and explain this is all you need. This is the body style we love. Don’t complicate things. No we don’t want more crap some engineer wants to design. The 67-68 body style is what we want.

[@BlacknRedSN95]

hell yeah brotha.

[@sbworks2047]

Yet you’re wrong , yes maybe some people like old mustangs , but think of the big market , much more people would want a modern looking car

[@monikhushalpuri]

SBworks 67-68 is a modern looking car as far as I’m concerned...67-68 body style with modern engine and suspension and electrics...can’t go wrong...these would sell like hot cakes

[@sbworks2047]

mercedes oh yeah know , im not saying noone would buy them , but i would say they would sell the same amount as the mustang of now , mainly because they wouldnt have an ecoboost or v6 version

[@monikhushalpuri]

SBworks people would still buy them with 6 cyl and 4 cyl engines...I don’t think you know but back when these 60’s cars were new...you could get fastbacks with straight 6’s...compared to the v8 all show and no go...even though the modern 4 cyl and 6 cyl ecoboost engines are just a tune away from keeping up with/ outrunning the new 5.0’s...even from mopar you could buy challengers, dusters, chargers etc with 6 cylinder or base v8 engines that were marketed as fuel economy versions if they didn’t offer a straight 6 back then...people will buy them more nowadays with the smaller engines due to higher gas prices compared to the old days...the market is only there if you create it

@@alanhardman2447 Socialism and communism are pretty different you know. Compared to the US, certain things in the UK could be seen as socialist, but in the scheme of things the UK isn't very socialist. Neither am I, too, but there's a difference between the two.

Under communism man exploits man, under socialism it's just the other way around

[@albertgaspar627]

in the late 1960's, there was a company making a similar spoiler/trunk lid. It wasn't Cal Custom, but someone along that line. The market had made a ton of cosmetic stuff for the Corvair since it was a youth market, but when the Corvair fell out of favor and the Mustang replaced it, there was a lot of stuff--bumper guards shaped like horseshoes in JC Whitney, etc. as for communism, to say the entire Soviet Union had the same viewpoint is like saying every American is a liberal because they give lip service to freedom of speech, assembly, and other individual rights. When the bolsheviks tried to import Marxism, they had a problem--it was a historical theory based on industrial societies deciding to join together rather than accept division by capitalists...and Russia was still feudal as could be in 1917.

SKIP THE FIRST 45 SECONDS! After that, this is a pretty nice video by two guys who are easy to get along with . . . and a very nice resto-mod 67 Mustang, my favorite 'Stang styling. I think the idea of cramming a Coyote 5.0 in the engine bay--and keeping it stock and un-boosted--is restomod heaven! My only issues in this fine restoration are A) I don't particularly like the wheel flares (or the wheels), and B) It needs selectable baffles in the exhaust (it sounds good, but it doesn't need to be--especially for a daily driver--that noisy ALL the time!). As I say, nice video. The discussion is excellent and the car is great. Oh, by the way, crank horsepower for the Coyote (depending on version) is slightly less than 450, which is just fine for this car. Thanks for posting. Thumbs up!
