Tell me what you guys think of this 1967 Shelby Mustang I restored here at my shop. This was such a fun project sad the customer finally picked it up! 800HP Whipple Charged Coyote Motor. Custom Color Scheme, Wine Red with metallic Grey Stripes. Moldered Rear Valance and Front Valance, Custom Interior, Full Custom Chassis, Power Windows, The Works!

Interesting, lots of cool mods, hard to figure out what the front is going to look like

The only flaw I see is that it didn't end up in your garage when finished. Other than that nice work...

I take the view: is it good for what it is?

As a resto-mod, it is very well done. You do nice work !!!

Beautiful car! I love the Bent Custom Performance hardline. Mark is nothing short of a wizard with hardline. He's told me about this car, said it took a digger and wrecked the front end in the first 20 miles of driving? Don't remember the whole story but if I recall it wasn't owners fault and all got repaired. There is not many Mustangs in this color, thought it might be the one I heard the story about then when I saw under the hood I could see all of Bent's work, I knew it was. He is doing all the hardline on my 70 C-10 installing final next week, I'll post pics soon. Anyway, beautiful build! I had a 68 fast back in high school that I sold before restoring, love to have another one some day. Welcome to the board.

Show off! :D

I give it a big thumbs up. Very nice job and a car that the owner will be able to enjoy for years. I know a lot of guys will say you should have restored it and it would have been worth more. Well, maybe so in dollars but not smiles per mile! I was around when those cars were new(ish) and we didn't leave them stock for a reason. Crappy brakes, crappy ride, crappy handling, crappy mileage, etc. This is a car that will do everything well and the owner will end up (hopefully) driving it much more than a restored car.

That's left nut stuff right there!...as in I'd give my left nut to have it. Hell, I'd probably give both for that thing, it's bad ass! Just ball park me, but what does something like that cost?

I hope that didn't start out as a real Shelby.
The car is pretty bad ass, but if it were mine I'd put the bumpers back on and keep them chrome. I bet it's a blast to drive! Nice job all in all! :cool:

I totally dig the balance between old skool cool and new skool cool on this. The color however is what seems to really set it apart, amazing build guy welcome to the chaos. Go ahead and block Grads now tho :p

Eh. It's nice work, but the Eleanor look is now 18 years old.
