First Look: New Wheels & Tires on the 1967 Mustang Fastback Project!

It's an exciting day for us at Classic Nation! Today, we mocked up the wheel and tire combination for the 1967 Mustang Project, and set the car down on it's own suspension for the first time in about 3 years!
The wheels are American Racing VN427 wheels, satin black with polished spinners. They are 17" x 9.5" in all four corners. Backspacing on the front is 6.5", and the rear backspacing is 5.75".
The tires are @toyotires Proxes Tires, R888R, 275/40r17 in all four corners.
The engine is an all aluminum 427 Stroker, with @borla Stack injection, mated to a Tremec Magnum 6 speed manual transmission.
Suspension is a full ‪@StreetorTrackLLC‬ setup, with coilovers and big billet spindles in the front, with a new full floater 9" rear end out back with a 3 link Watts link.
The paint is a custom color, based on a Porsche Jet Black Metallic, but instead of blue and violet metal flakes, we're replaced them with a green mica flake, a subtle nod to the green color the car was when we first got it.

My Bullitt Loves your mustang !!!

[@ClassicNation]

Thank you!

[@rosstempletonogskater]

I like the Factory Looking Wheels U picked. Some Restomod wheels & upgrades are Ridiculous & Ghetto, but I like the factory looking body with chrome U mentioned. Nice Engine choice 427. My Neighbor has a 66 Convertible Mustang with a 351 Windsor....

Are you ever going to have an update on that 67 Fastback Mustang?

[@mohammedalshamsi52]

Dude … I’m so glad that I came over your KZbin channel, you’re doing my dream build 🔥. If possible can you please do a separate video about the entire engine build. Can it be bought from somewhere if yes please share the website, good luck with the build

[@ClassicNation]

I'll definitely put together a full video of the build, and I'll just be posting it on YT here! Thanks for the support!

[@Ricardo_Wade]

I went with 19x11 on my 67 mustang paired with 295s but honestly i am loving your set up much more, im honestly thinking about selling the wheels now lol

[@ClassicNation]

I'm sure yours looks great too! That's a lot of tire.

[@Ricardo_Wade]

@ClassicNation it does I just wished I should have went with a staggered set 😕 I still can it's just more work on my end since I have to strip and powder coat them satin and gloss

[@johndavey72]

[@jlmljames]

[@alexg8709]

Out of curiosity, do you have space in the back to fit bigger wheels with the same offset?

[@datwild69]
