A 1968 Ford Mustang fastback, originally a Brittany Blue 289, has been rebuilt with a custom 428ci V8, a Tremec five-speed manual and a comprehensive chassis and brake overhaul, and is now offered for sale.

Лучшая часть: оригинальный 289 отправили на свалку, а на его место впихнули 428. Знаете, сколько стоит такой «restomod» в сумме, если считать честно? Обычно больше, чем машина стоила бы в идеальном состоянии. Владельцы любят называть это «любовью к классике». Я называю это ценником с тремя нулями, который никто не хочет пересчитывать вслух.
Brittany Blue Mustang with a 428 and a Tremec. Sounds lovely until you remember the last three “fully rebuilt” fastbacks I looked at, all of them sold on a glossy photo of the engine bay and a seller who couldn’t tell me who did the welding. One had a 428 that turned out to be a 390 with a sticker. Ended with the buyer in court.
Restomod or Frankenstein? Show me the engine numbers, not the brochure.
Another restomod, another “comprehensive overhaul” that somehow costs more than a house in Surrey. I remember the Shelby-style build a few years back: glossy photos, a Tremec box, a “bespoke” chassis, and then it sat unsold for eighteen months while the owner blamed the market. Same story here, different paint.
