1967 FORD MUSTANG BODY SWAP
PROJECT
OVERVIEW
We’re taking an icon and rewriting its story — with modern performance beneath vintage skin. This project blends the raw, aggressive styling of a 1967 Shelby GT500 Eleanor with the cutting-edge engineering of a 2016+ Mustang drivetrain, suspension, and interior.
It’s not just a restomod — it’s a full body swap, designed to deliver modern-day muscle wrapped in a timeless classic.
THE BUILD CONCEPT
We are preserving the iconic body of the 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor and merging it with the cutting-edge engineering of a 2016+ Mustang on a Shelby platform. This integration includes the complete powertrain, drivetrain, and suspension systems.
The Outcome? Unmatched Handling!
You can have peace of mind while relishing the exhilarating power of the Mustang, designed to keep you firmly in your seat. Our advanced brake system ensures the Mustang stops quicker than you can exclaim, “Whoa-boy!”
Experience superior handling precisely when you need it. The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS) work in harmony to monitor shifting road conditions and your driving responses.
The Mustang effortlessly grips the road, largely due to its fully independent, integral-link rear suspension.
This advanced system features a lower H-arm, vertical link, upper camber link, and toe link, which work together to provide improved anti-squat and anti-lift capabilities. As a result, it achieves superior pitch control during rapid acceleration and braking.
To enhance grip further, unsprung mass is minimised by utilising high-strength aluminium alloy for the rear knuckles and frames.
In addition to these advantages, the all-new suspension system also boasts a new double-ball joint configuration at the front, delivering better road feel, a smoother ride, and more precise handling.
Base Body: 1967 Mustang Fastback Body Shell (New)
Donor Car: 2016+ Mustang GT (Modern Platform)
