1966 Mustang Fastback Restomod for Sale

This “Bad Boy” was built for a Los Angeles drug dealer who spared no expense making it the perfect ‘66 Fastback. The “ground up” restoration was done by Chuck Francis (Dream Machines of America in L.A. - http://www.fordmustangs.org/) one of the West Coast’s oldest and most respected Mustang restoration shops. Chuck has been working on Mustangs for over 40 years and restores Mustangs for the meticulous "Hollywood" clientele. He is also well-known for building racing motorcycles for two decades so he knows how to put together a hi-performance engine. This one took 12 months to get just right. Less than 2000 (weekend and show) miles on the restoration; it still has that "new car" smell. Its striking beauty, coupled with the gurgle giving way to an enjoyable, throaty roar as one accelerates, turns almost every head attached to a male body when this Restomod Fastback makes an appearance. (I’ve had an amazing number of compliments from the ladies too.)

Under the hood is a balanced and blueprinted Ford Racing 302 with all the necessary internals, roller-rocker cam, JE Forged Pistons, etc.; Trick Flow aluminum heads and high rise intake manifold, MSD 6AL Ignition, Distributor, Holley 0-4779C carburetor, all mated to an ACT stage 3 clutch & 4 speed close ratio transmission, Northern aluminum radiator, custom headers into 2.5" exhaust and Flowmasters, "boxed" front suspension with new springs all around, slotted and drilled power disc brakes, 17" Torque Thrust D series 2 wheels shod with Nexen N3000 245/45 ZR17 rubber, "Red top" battery, Moto Lita steering wheel, etc.
Dyno tuned to more than 370 very “streetable” hp on pump gas by JBA Racing Performance. The body is covered with impeccable German Glassa Ford (Metallic) Blue with Wimbledon white stripes. Interior is parchment white with parchment white "Pony" seats.

When I first got the car about 2 years ago, an individual in Vancouver who knew the car and its pedigree offered me $80,000 CDN (about $70,000 US, then) but since I had not had a chance to enjoy it, I turned him down. Barrett-Jackson has sold a few similar Mustang Fastback Restomods a while ago, one for $63,000 another for $73,000. On October 4th she took second place in her class (modified fastbacks) at the San Diego Mustang Club’s annual event “Mustangs by the Bay". There were nearly 300 cars from Mustang clubs throughout Southern California and Arizona. She took second in her class to a Shelby 350 GT! (which is worth 3 or 4 times as much!) indicating she may be the best (non Shelby) Restomod in Southern California, or certainly one of the best.
It has been a very enjoyable car to own, but it is time to pass it on to someone else who can enjoy both driving it and its ongoing appreciation. (Classic Mustangs are a going up about 10% per year, award winners even more.)
