Complete Art Morrison chassis A/C. power rack and pinion steering Large-by-huge Billet Specialties wheels Goodguys Pro pick. Goodguys Street machine of the Year finalist Subtle as a sledgehammer! Some cars just make us smile. This one's got wicked power. the styling is spot on. the stance is perfect. the fit and finish is beyond reproach. and it can smell fear. We love it. There's so much to see here that it's difficult to know where to start! Outside. the idea was to keep body modifications to a minimum. allowing the original lines to shine through. Starting with an A code 289 fastback. a full Shelby kit from Tony Branda transformed the look. Very subtle changes were made. like tucking the bumpers tightly to the body and cleaning up the wide factory panel gaps. Original replacement glass. all correct pieces of trim. original emblems and more are in place. If this were a simple tribute car. it would sell immediately on its paint job alone—it's that straight. Inside. the near-stock theme continues. though with a level of refinement unheard of in a 1967 Ford. You'll sit in Procar Rallye 1000 leather seats. which have just the right vintage look. Under your feet. the original poly loop carpeting was ditched in favor of wool. and the vinyl heel pad is now leather. The door panels are now hand stitched leather. and the doors themselves were smoothed to tone down the factory texture. Leather covers just about every other surface. such as the mock console between the seats. the patterned headliner. the rear seat delete. the A pillars and even the kick panels. The stitching is arrow straight and looks amazing. A reproduction gauge bezel set houses all new gauges from Classic Instruments while the glove box hosts an Alpine head unit and the controls for the Vintage Air A/C system. Flaming River's tilt column helps you find the right steering wheel position. JL audio speakers and amps supply the tunes in case you ever get bored of listening to the monster under the hood. The chassis is as wild as the body is sedate. Stock no more. this Shelby now rides on a complete Art Morrison G-MAX frame with unequal length control arms up front and a Moser built Ford 9” articulated through a three-link and a Watts link out back. Putting a frame into a unibody car requires some deft surgery. and doing so while keeping the ride height so low requires all new floor pans. To make a long story short. builder Todd Redenshek cut away everything between the rocker pinch welds. threw it away. and started fresh. It's the level of modification you'll find on all-out drag cars. and it's the upcoming trend in Pro Touring. The frame itself is completely finished in the same blue metallic as the top. as is the T56 Tranzilla 6 speed transmisison. the 9” rear. and every other piece of the suspension that wasn't already polished or chromed. It's striking and fully functional at the same time. Adjustable coil overs are at all four corners. while Wilwood brakes handle stopping duties. With rotors measuring a robust 14. 5” in the front and 13. 5” in the rear you'll have no trouble shedding speed in a hurry. Billet Specialties wheels run 18x6 up front and a massive 20x12 in the rear. holding equally large 235/30 and 335/40 Michelin Pilot Sports. A fully TIG welded 3” exhaust with Borla mufflers massages the engine's audio signature more than it mutes it. You'll love it. Under the hood is a true monster. Measuring 20 cubic inches more than a factory 427. the Windsor-based small block here puts down huge power in a far lighter package. Gellner Engineering started with a fresh Dart Iron Eagle siamese-bore block. dropping in a an Eagle forged crank below four bolt main caps. Forged H beam rods swing 11. 5:1 JE pistons. A custom hydraulic roller cam actuates the 2. 08/1. 60 valves in the Dart Pro1 O-ringed and CNC ported heads. Fuel mixes in a Barry Grant 825cfm carb. travels through a massaged Edelbrock Victor Jr intake. and gets lit by a full MSD ignition system. Billet Specialties Tru-Trac pulleys and polished accessories adorn the front of the motor while a NASCAR inspired air cleaner assembly sits atop. Ceramic coated and wrapped headers carry spent gasses. Power output is nothing short of crazy—try on 667HP and 610lbs/ft of torque on Gellner's dyno!Unlike most show cars. this one was built to drive. That means everything works as it should. Even though the ride height is low. your turning radius isn't compromised. Even with all of the heavy duty equipment it's still tractable enough to drive to shows. It's built to corner. too—it's competed at Goodguys autocrosses.
