Chopping on the 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback Restomod!

Recently updated on February 3, 2021 at 07:11 am

The topic is so new Restomod on the Ford Mustang yes not. We have already presented countless converted vehicles with components from the present and of course do not want to withhold this 69er Fastback from you. But there is a clear difference between the classic black lacquered model with the red stripes and all of the conversions known to us so far. Namely, the roof of the classic was made using so-called Chopping shortened and also received the side part of the body sectioning. Both processes are extremely complex and can only be implemented by a few companies in such a phenomenal quality. And one of these companies is ClassicDetroit. And the result is this spectacular one-off.

A strip of sheet metal was removed from the completely restored body at the belt line and the same applies to the A and C pillars, which leads to a lowering from the roof. Both processes are extremely complex and also require, for example, the conversion of the panes or the interior. The result is an incredibly filigree body whose difference is only really visible when you stand right next to the Mustang. Only then can the clearly shrunk dimensions be seen in height. But whether you have to do it with a real 69 Fastback, everyone should decide for themselves. However, we believe that there is one Replica would have been better suited for such a conversion. The rest of the modifications are beyond question. As already mentioned, the vehicle has been completely restored and rebuilt and a 428 cubic-inch V8 is working under the hood, which in combination with a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission drives the rear wheels.

Performance data are not known

All around there was also a sports brake system with enlarged disc brakes and many components from the chassis, power steering or drive come from a Mustang from 2001. The 17-inch Coys alloy wheels in silver are from the present as well as for the darkened light bar LED technology applies at the rear. With countless small components such as the clean aprons at the front and rear, the bonnet with a large central air opening or the distant antenna, the spectacular appearance is impressively rounded off on the outside. And the cab has also been redesigned with no less effort. Here, for example, the door panels had to be adapted to the scaled-down doors and the cabin also shows itself with a lot of carbon, polished stainless steel and tons of two-tone leather in black and red.

new car radio including sound system

From a technical point of view, the occupants enjoy a modern car radio including sound system and a fully functional air conditioning system as well as a sports steering wheel that can be adjusted for the driver are now installed in the 69er Mustang. Of course, the conversion is a matter of taste, in particular due to the profound changes to the body, the quality and the effort that went into it, but there is no question as we think and make the 69er Mustang with the look of the 1970s Boss 302 Coupé unique in any case.
