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.

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.
Restomod or Frankenstein? Show me the engine numbers, not the brochure.
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.
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.
