The owner of the one-of-a-kind Mustang didn't follow convention and created his own dream. For this purpose, components from various vehicles were installed, resulting in a curious potpourri under the classic shell. The car's front and rear frames are roughly taken from a 2020 Mustang GT350, making the vehicle significantly wider than an original '65. The car also got a new front suspension made up of custom-made "A" links and adjustable ones thread springs by Penske. Meanwhile, the rear suspension was carried over from the Mustang GT350 model year 2020. Thus, the vehicle has a rear independent wheel suspension, which is also equipped with Penske coil springs.
A huge one front spoiler as well as gigantic fender flares in full-metal style cause a stir and make the project vehicle unique. It also has a carbon bonnet and a vent on the trunk lid. Specially made custom taillights and a central dual-pipe exhaust were also installed at the rear. The front is adorned with a huge Ford lettering, which comes from a pickup truck. The revised vehicle rolls on Yokohama Advan tires that are all in 315/30 ZR18 format. The tires were mounted on 18-inch CCW brand rims, which suit the extraordinary project well with their concave star design and black finish.
