If the famed 1968 Mustang Shelby GT500 coupe "Black Hornet" and the world famous "Eleanor" from "Gone in Sixty Seconds" had a baby... This restomod Mustang would be it!
A fresh build with over $20k in new parts and over 1000 hours of labor in this frame-on build. This Mustang started life as a clean title, California car then sat in a garage for 10 years before werescued it. (If this was built for a client this would be a $75k+ build.) We have receipts for all the parts except the Mustang II and the rear end. Build book with pictures and receipts included for thenew owner.
