The Mustang crowd generally restores them to original condition.I'm building a 67 fastback restomod with Heidts front susp,IRS out of a 2005 Rouch Mustang, supercharged Carroll Shelby aluminum 427SO,6 sp trans.It will be finished next month.

theres a lot of wrong statements there.
1. i can buy fast back shells for far under 10 k in decent shape yes needing a ton of work but i can do it easily i just saw one for 5200 no glass trashed interior and no drive train but complete whole body and not a rusted out clunker.
2. who says it has to be a fast back the coupes are good looking cars and theres probley ten times as many of them out there available in good shape CHEAP then camaros you can buy a clean RUNING driver 66-68 mustang for under 5000 dollars.. I know i bought my 66 for 4500 and it had a complete reproduction interior in it ran perfect with a 302 c-4 combo in it.
3. there IS NO independant suspension in the 2005 roushe its a three link with panhard bar.
as for the viper engine there are four different stand alones i know that will run the viper engien and at 13.5 k for the gt-500 vs 7500 for a complete viper motor and trany its a big savings to go viper engine.
yes there are mustang projects out there but you just dont see any many as the chebys
