Nothing is better than making a classic Ford be a "Demon Destroyer" with new Ford technology!

The first generation Mustang is around 3,000 pounds! She don't need 700 HP to put a licking on a 4,500 pound bloated whale in the quarter!

David Athans went low tens with a nitrous boosted 347! Love it!!

For heavens sake an EFI conversion?? What a great add on for a classic car to be more drivable!!

My 351 stroked to 460 is basically a born with engine! Now add a supercharger and YAAAAAAA BAAAABBBBEEE!!! That may be next!!

It is Season 8, episode 8. To be continued in episode 9.

Good example of why you need to thoroughly inspect a car or have it inspected.
When it rolled into the shop, it did not look too bad. But the amount of rust was extensive. A ton of work and $$ just to get the body right.

IMHO, you do not put a Coyote engine in a rare car along with all the changes to make it happen. Just do it to a regular Mustang. But, to each his own.

I wonder if these guys are really that inept or if it’s all for TV.
They also spent over two years on the car.
This photo pretty well says it all.

I hope that the seller gets a good price for it.
The fog lights and hood twist locks look like they could be changed back to stock? Would sure help make it look more like a proper 1968 GT/CS.
I like the console, and deluxe door panel inserts without the deluxe bottom section.

I wonder if it being a real GT/CS will bump the price over a like-kind-quality 1968 modified Mustang coupe? What do you all think?

I doubt it being a real GT/CS will have much if any influence. If you are going to build a car like this, start with a regular solid regular coupe. I hate to see a fairly rare car being modified that much.

Car sold for $65,000. That’s $71,500 to the buyer, and $58,500 to the seller.
