Description
Now this is my custom Mustang, existing only on paper of course. I'm really into muscle-cars and adore the Mustang from - say '69. That's with Targa roof and the specification is based on Ford's own engine - 460 ci used in Continentals and Torinos I think. I plan to make a pic of it in action too, burnout or sumthin.Related content

i dobt somthing like it will ever get made thou. unfortunaly i heard auto news that the next mustang is not going to be retro. I myself was hoping that the new muscle car trend would continue but it looks as though ford would rather design cars like the nissan leaf, instead of somthing as sharp looking as this

Hi, thanks for a thought. I really like the retro styling on modern musclecars too - Challenger, Camaro and Mustang are quite a bunch. But every wave has to end somewhere so that new styling ideas could come. I'm not disappointed that they decided to make the 2015(?) Mustang a brand new design. Just maybe they can invent a look that will be made as retro in 50 years' time

I love the design of this custom Mustang. It looks so great. Good job!

I love it, I'm a Mustang / Muscle Car fan also. While its obviously a mustang, it looks like you have chosen a few parts from other muscle cars to it. I don't know what you where you were going with the hood scoop, but it sort of hints from Chrysler's like the Charger and Cuda.
I love the sharp lines of classic muscle cars. The only thing that bothers me, is the tail lights. The tripple brake lights are generaly the first thing I think of when talking about Mustangs. Also the lip coming out over the grill and headlights seems to be a little much, as if it were upset.
I fear that the 460 may be just a little too much for it as is. I really didnt see any signs of suspension add-ons (such as a two/four link). The rear tires are obviously wider, but I would of liked to seen them a little bigger in diameter, but I'm guessing you probably have them this way for the stance.
The chopped fastback looks nice, but the back looks a little to linear for the mustang general design. Louvers don't do much for me either.
Is there any chance of getting this car with super charger application and possibly a 351. Sorry I think more about weight than power.

I understand what you mean about the 20 inch bling-bling thing, but 19" Mags arent bad. Now with the given information of it being longer the 17s to do fit, but I also like the "classic" muscle care look where the rear was a slightly larger in all demensions than the front.
Anyways, thanks for that nice peice of info. Its a really great car, and I honestly hope you do another one.

Well, thanks for such a professional comment. As I know, the Mopar cars' scoop takes air from the backside, while this here is much larger and with frontal intakes. I just wanted the scoop to match the front-end design, especially the lights area. The taillights are more inspired by GT 500, which also had 4 or 5 lights on either side, here they're just a bit angled. I've always liked the mean face of early Stangs and so I took the idea and tried to take it even further, so it's supposed to look very upset.
It's widely known that the meanest-looking real Mustang, Boss 429, wasn't by far the fastest pony-car, for it's front-end was too heavy. So here also the 460 would rather be for maximum cruising pleasure, than for low quarter-mile times. I guess the handling woud be slightly improved using the transaxle layout, to compensate the monster-engine's weight. The given weight would be a bit utopic with that motor, yes.
I didn't really think about the suspension much back then but the tires are wide for getting that piece of neccessary traction and I even made some math and measuring about it. I think the tires were 17 inches in diameter for I really didn't want to give it some freaky 20 inch bling-bling look.
But as you americans say: there's no replacement for displacement, and that's needed for the nice torque given in the data. 949 Nm-s makes exactly 700 lb-ft and it would probably be even possible with some reinforcement changes in drivetrain and engine with custom crankshaft, pistons, headers etc.
Also this car is like 10 inches longer than a real I gen Mustang and that's one of the reasons the wheels look a bit small. Of course all the data is just a fantasy and not to be taken real seriously (except measurements).
Guess that's all I've got to say for now to justify myself.

I must admit that I'm wiser now than when I made this, and there are some logic glitches in that concept, but I haven't buried the idea of makin another pic of the certain car.

Nicely drawn and a great car.. Maybe resize the big shot to 1280 on the longest side? Would get a better view.
