1967 FORD MUSTANG

BODY SWAP

Modern muscle beneath a timeless icon — re-engineered on a 2016+ Mustang GT platform.

01 / PROJECT OVERVIEW

An icon,
re-engineered.

We’re taking an icon and rewriting its story — modern performance beneath vintage skin. This restomod-style build fuses the raw, aggressive styling of the 1967 Mustang Fastback with the complete drivetrain, suspension, safety systems and interior of a 2016+ Mustang.

It goes beyond a traditional restomod — it’s a full body swap: every-day reliability, warranty-era engineering and collector-grade presence in one machine.

02 / THE BUILD CONCEPT

Vintage skin. Modern skeleton.

The iconic 1967 Fastback silhouette is preserved and merged with the complete powertrain, drivetrain and suspension of a 2016+ Mustang GT or Shelby platform.

The outcome? Unmatched handling. The fully independent integral-link rear suspension — lower H-arm, vertical link, upper camber and toe links — delivers superior pitch control under hard acceleration and braking, while high-strength aluminium knuckles cut unsprung mass.

Up front, a new double-ball-joint configuration brings better road feel, a smoother ride and razor-sharp precision.

Unmatched Handling

Fully independent integral-link rear suspension keeps the car planted.

Serious Stopping Power

Brembo six-piston front brakes haul it down faster than you can say “whoa-boy”.

DSC + Traction Control

Dynamic Stability Control® and TCS monitor the road and your inputs in harmony.

Precision Steering

Electric Power-Assisted Steering with double-ball-joint front geometry.

03 / THE FORMULA

Two legends. One machine.

🔴 BASE BODY

1967 Mustang Fastback body shell — brand new.

No rust, no patch panels, no destroyed classic. A fresh, factory-true shell ready for paint in any colour and trim you choose.

🔴 DONOR PLATFORM
