Have you ever dreamed of hopping in a time machine to go back to the 1960s, so you could buy a classic musclecar fresh off the showroom floor?
…Well, as it turns out, you won’t have to bend the space-time continuum to do that anymore.
That’s the idea behind the Brand New Muscle Car shop and its eponymous show on MotorTrend TV.
The team at BNMC essentially builds a new “vintage” muscle car from the ground up, using all-new parts so you get a modern car, with modern reliability, in a completely authentic retro wrapper.
…Which brings us to this jaw-dropping 1967 Ford Mustang.
Built to coincide with the Mustang’s 60th birthday and revealed at the 2024 SEMA Show, this slick fastback is a testament to the quality of work that the Brand New Muscle Car folks put into each vehicle they make.
This build starts with a laser straight, brand new fastback body shell that’s got a 1967 VIN plate and corresponding title.
And beneath that gorgeous “Scorched Apple” paint job resides some serious hardware.
The party gets really good under the hood, where instead of a 289 or heck, even a 390, you’ll find a 427ci fuel injected and supercharged Ford Windsor V8. All in, the boosted powerplant cranks out around 750 horsepower—a far cry from the 320 hp of the top-dog 390 4V from 1967.
Those ponies are reined-in by a Tremec six-speed manual before they’re sent to a Ford nine inch rear end.
And the BNMC team didn’t just focus on the driveline—the Mustang has a full IFS up front and a custom four-link out back, along with disc brakes all-around.
Inside is a deluxe reworked interior with modern instrumentation.
If this sort of old-meets-new-meets-old-again build style appeals to you, check out the Brand New Muscle Car TV show on MotorTrend TV.
New episodes began in October 2024 and the season will run through the rest of the year.
