Mid Engine Mustang GT

[JayR]

Mike Staveski of Time Machines and I have teamed up on what is probably the biggest project of our collective careers. When I say this is a Mustang GT, I'm talking about the actual drivetrain which is lifted from a late model Ford GT and it's going in the Mustang in the exact same configuration right under that back glass like a contemporary mid-engined supercar.

Mike has been thinking about this concept since He visited Foose's shop in 2000 and saw the partially finished Hemisfear but was still thinking Mopar for the body and the motivation when he approached me but Rad Rides just finished the best fastback Cuda of all time and a mid-engine 70 Cuda would look all wrong so I instantly suggested a Mustang for the fastback glass like a contemporary supercar and a mid-engined drivetrain already engineered.

I know from past conservations with the Ring Bros that they are playing with this idea too and it will be a cool evolution of the Kona and Reactor and is sure to be killer and have their signature look.

Attached is the rendering of what the completed car will look like as well as a couple pictures of a Ford GT that I've been staring at for ideas, inspiration and proportions. As it turns out, the wheelbase of a 69 Mustang and a GT are less than 1" different but make no mistake, there are tons of major modifications done to this body to make it more slippery and stylish while still being true to the Shinoda Mustang design, arguably the best looking Mustang of all time.

Look for a very unique rear view next week that I'm working on as we speak.

Construction on this concept will begin very soon and inquiries to own it are welcome.
