1967 Ford Mustang Fastback - By Himself For Himself
Ford Mustang Flashback Well spotted. This achingly beautiful Mustang was the most intriguing car on Ford's SEMA show stand. The profile may look 1967 'Stang, but key panels ?? such as the bonnet and rear end ?? are an all-new design. For this car, called the Flashback, is a hybrid mix of '60s and noughties style, and contemporary mechanicals. It's a fascinating story. Ford has licensed a company called Dynacorn to manufacture replica bodyshells of the 1967 Mustang - indeed, a replica '67 GT sat alongside the Flashback on the stand. Customers can then kit out the body with the latest Mustang mechanicals (although the live rear axle arguably still feels like a refugee from the swinging sixties). So the Flashback runs the 2007 Shelby Cobra Mustang's supercharged 5.4-litre V8, kicking out 600hp. No '60s Mustang could dream of producing such grunt, or channel it to the rear wheels via a six-speed transmission, or have six piston brake callipers clamping the discs behind 18-inch wheels. Modern air conditioning and electronics complete the package. Source: [url=http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/mufp_0710_1967_ford_mustang_fastback/]Mustangs and Fords Magazine[/url] |
