The story started back in early January of 2016 when the Canadian fabricator, Kyle Scaife, decided to bring back to life a too-far-gone 1967 Ford Mustang. But unlike most of the gearheads, he decided to go with the raw treatment on it; instead of a long, costly restoration.
This is how the car looked like :
From there, there was a lot of cutting and chopping goin' on. The Stang was heavily chopped and slammed and been treated with a widebody without major cosmetics to hide that. In fact, the only bits of Mustang left were the roof and rear quarter panel.
For the engine, Kyle scored a '99 C5 Corvette for 6000$ with a salvage title. From it, they used the engine and its drivetrain; including brakes, torque tube, transmission and the Corvette’s control arms. The wheels are G67 Rumi, a speed edition from Govad. They're a translucent copper with gloss black barrels. Putting some class in this Stang's ass...
The LS1 inside the Vette was fitted with a Texas Speed and Performance camshaft and a Holley Mid Ram intake. This combination should make around 420 hp's. You can check out some more details in the Q&A video from YouTube below the photo set. It's maiden test ride was held on July 2017.
Next step for this wild Stang it's a turbocharger. Will see how that will play out. But for now it's exactly what it was meant to be...
A raw, low and wide, loud and twisted Mustang !
As I was checking Kyle's Instagram page today I just noticed that we will start a new survivor-Frankencar project using a beat up VW Beetle. Mhmmm...
