A modern Mustang underpins this Shelby tribute car.
Mustang fanatics take note: would you like to convert your new GT to a tribute car resembling a 1969 Fastback?
Make a call to Retrobuilt Motors?in Lamar, Missouri, and they?ll take your modern day Mustang and create a car mimicking?the vintage looks of the classic Fastback.
The upside, of course, is keeping the modern day conveniences and reliability but with a retro-Mustang look. The uniqueness continues knowing your car was built by hand. Unusual with today?s manufacturing technologies but a necessity when creating the car.
Retrobuilt Motors introduced the Fastback conversion at SEMA this year. The Fastback is built using steel and fiberglass body panels to create a car that copies the original quite well. Custom hood pins and vinyl graphics help replicate the styling of the ?69 model so many collectors desire.
In addition, you can bump the performance with a ?Racing? package, which adds a supercharger, boosting the Ford V-8 to 500 horsepower.? The package includes new Baer brakes and full Eibach suspension, easily surpassing the stopping and cornering capabilities of the original ?69.
The company?s press release follows.
Retrobuilt Motors introduces new 1969 Fastback conversion for modern Mustangs at 2012 Sema Show
Blending the classic lines of Ford?s most iconic muscle car with the performance, comfort and reliability of a brand new Mustang, the Retrobuilt ?69 Fastback fuses vintage panels onto modern Mustangs to create the ultimate pony car.
Lamar, MO. (Oct., 2012) ? Restoring a vintage Mustang is a major undertaking ? and when you?re done, you have a beautiful but not particularly practical vehicle. ?Buying a new one means you get turn-key reliability and stunning performance thanks to Ford?s most powerful line of engines ever offered ? but the cars are commonplace. Now you can have the best of both worlds ? with the new Retrobuilt Motors ?69 Fastback, based on a modern Mustang.
In Las Vegas for the 2012 SEMA Show, Retrobuilt Motors unveiled its stunning 1969 Mustang fastback on ?The Strip,? Sin City?s most famous boulevard to an amazed crowd of gearheads and tourists. Starting with a new Mustang GT, Retrobuilt reskins the car with new body panels and trim to replicate the appearance of the much-loved 1969 Fastback, and the result is nearly indecipherable from an original? until you open the door and are greeted by a comfortable, cutting-edge modern interior.
?Over the past few years we have been working towards this moment,? says Retrobuilt Motors founder, Clinton White. ?After working on several previous Retrobuilt models that fused classic styling cues with new Mustangs, we think we?ve come up with something really special. From the grill to the taillights and everything in between, this car looks just like a 1969 model, but is based on the Coyote powered 2012 GT that is arguably one of the best muscle cars ever made.?
The ?69 fastback features steel and fiberglass body panels, chrome trim, custom HID lights, custom hood pins and vinyl graphics to replicate the classic styling of the original ?69 fastback.? The conversion can be ordered with a ?Racing? package, which adds a supercharger that boosts the Ford V-8 power plant?s output up to 500 horsepower.? The package also includes new Baer brakes and full Eibach suspension that not only surpasses the stopping and cornering abilities of an original ?69, it outperforms even current Mustangs. Every car is built-to-order by hand.
