In what amounts to sourcing a car and completely rethinking every aspect of its performance and appearance, he highly skilled talent at RKMPC can create a classic that feels just as comfortable, erforms just as well and looks twice as nice as any showroom new equivalent. And that's exactly what happened with this insane Mustang pro-tourer. Born from vintage appeal and broad aftermarket support, his crisp fastback is a virtual tour de force of proven mechanicals. And with a clean body that's dropped on a custom suspension, itted with a streamlined interior and bolted to a hot Coyote mod motor, t's the kind of killer classic that makes factory-fresh ponies shake in their run-flats. If you're shopping for some fully sorted muscle that puts a modern twist on an old school favorite, ou're looking at your next car!

BODYWORK/TRIM

The beneficiary of a professional, rame-off restoration that, side from driving to photo shoots, as barely seen any time outside of a building, his monochromatic Mustang features a seamless custom appearance that's highlighted by a unique flood of tinted 2-stage pigment. The foundation for that pigment began with new floors, rogressed to new quarters and ended at a fresh firewall. Outside that firewall, new hood and fresh fenders flow into a new driver's door and fresh rear valance. And naturally, reat care was taken to ensure every one of those panels is aligned to better-than-factory standards. Once the car's profile was clean and solid, smooth coat of PPG Lamborghini Reventon Grey base was garnished with custom-tint bronze race stripes and sealed in flat clear. That uncommon paintwork highlights the car's timeless lines with a brand of precision and clarity that's just not present on most traditional builds. And it all adds up to one very well done pro-tourer that's finished to exacting specifications thanks to a great combination of skilled workmanship and first-rate detailing.

On the sacred tree of hot rodding, ro-touring foliage, long with its pro-street brethren, ften receives the brightest light. That means high end, igh profile cars must have exceptional looks to back up their big claims. And nowhere is that dedicated attention to aesthetics more prevalent than this Mustang's top-notch tailoring. At the leading edge of the car, Shelby R-code valance hangs clear parking lamps beneath a custom-fabricated grille and familiar halogen headlights. At the top of that grille, functional hood centers small heat extractors in front of body-matched stainless, actory-tint glass and shaved drip rails. At the base of that glass, selectively shaved profile anchors color-keyed door handles and a small mirror above correct fender gills and trimmed and rolled wheel openings. And behind those gills, orrect quarter louvers lead the eye to a custom steel spoiler that frames fresh taillights, monochromatic fuel filler, custom roll pan, nd a sectioned, arrowed and smoothed bumper.

ENGINE

That impressive combination of bronze-tint pigment and one off trim certainly is pretty, ut now it's time to get serious. Hoist this coupe's snug fitting hood and you'll find a 5.0 liter, OHC 'mod motor' that, ccording to Ford Performance, airs more than 412 horsepower with 400 lb./ft. of pavement-slaying torque! Officially named 'Coyote Aluminator', nd not far removed from the engine that powers the current Mustang GT, his state-of-the-art rocket utilizes a forged crank, oss 302 springs, rafal-coated Mahle pistons, anley H-beam rods, RP bolts and Boss 302 bearings to create stout 11 to 1 compression. At the top of the aluminum mill, new Spectre filter element caps a color-keyed, ustom-fabricated air tube, hich feeds an 80mm Ford throttle body and tuned Mustang intake. At the sides of the block, tainless Detroit Speed headers, ngineered to perfectly fit the car's Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame front clip, coot spent gases through aluminized pipes, tainless-cased Borla S-Type mufflers and a custom, amborghini-inspired tip. At the front of the engine, factory-spec serpentine system spins a 100-amp Roush alternator. An oversize Fluidyne radiator rides between a 16-inch SPAL puller fan and a snazzy aluminum overflow tank. A Ford Racing stand-alone computer works with a Ford Racing tune to ensure everything communicates well. And components, ike an Aeromotive fuel regulator, spry Roush mini starter, deep-sump oil pan and an Aeroflow remote oil filter, ort out all the details. When it comes to looks, he svelte powerplant is extremely tidy, ith color-keyed cam covers and a Ford Performance cowl concealing most of its factory silver block. And the car's super clean engine bay swaps traditional shock towers for custom-fabricated inner fenders.

DRIVETRAIN

Take a look under this wicked 'stang and you'll find a fully detailed chassis that mixes new age technology with old school durability. The modern motor spins power to a new Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed that's wrapped in a high quality QuickTime bellhousing. That gearbox utilizes a Centerforce dual-disc hydraulic clutch to twist torque through a heavy-duty driveshaft and 1350 series U-joints. Those joints command a heavy duty Moser 9-inch that's equipped with a Moser Trac-Loc differential, un, .55 gears and Moser 31-spline axles. And that pumpkin spins 18-inch Forgeline RB3Cs, hich trail two 275/35 Michelin Pilot Sports with two 335/30 Michelin Pilot Sports. Forged aluminum units that feature 3-piece construction and directional spokes, hose bronze kicks wrap tough Heli-Coil inserts in stainless ARP bolts and heat-treated rims. And naturally, hat world-class rolling stock is some of Michelin's finest Z-rated rubber.

SUSPENSION

Speaking of world-class, his pony fits in at any party, ith a thoroughly modified suspension that's every bit as well finished as the car's first-rate exterior. At the front of the stellar drivetrain, he aforementioned Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame makes good use of a beefy Detroit Speed sway bar and adjustable JRi coil-overs. Opposite that front-clip, Detroit Speed QUADRALink features a second Detroit Speed sway bar and two more JRi coil-overs. Turns come courtesy of Detroit Speed power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are provided by 6-piston Baer calipers, hich utilize a familiar Wilwood proportioning valve to squeeze 14-inch drilled and slotted rotors. That impressive roster of hardware is complemented by equally impressive ancillaries, ncluding: a remote power steering cooler, etroit Speed wheel tubs, ntegrated subframe connectors and a 16-gallon Detroit Speed fuel tank. And overall, his Ford rides and handles every bit as good as it looks: ready to seek and destroy!

INTERIOR

Behind this Mustang's solid-closing doors you'll find a conservative interior that's equal parts form and function. At the front of the car, familiar dash anchors a digital tachometer between a subtle "MUSTANG" script and stylish Classic Instruments Auto Cross telemetry that's finished with Sky Drive GPS speed monitoring. In front of that dash, ully adjustable SCAT PROCAR seats feature 5-point Impact safety harnesses. Below those seats, ew carpet centers a curved shifter and tough floor mats on thick Dynamat Dynaliner. At the sides of that carpet, actory-spec door panels twist color-keyed handles inside factory-spec stainless. Above those panels, vinyl headliner frames a fully welded, -point roll bar that's constructed of .120 DOM tubing. In front of the driver, leather-wrapped Budnik steering wheel laps a tilting Ididit column. And behind the passengers, clean trunk hides the car's relocated battery.
