Unique opportunity to acquire The Ultimate Pro Touring Mustang Fastback
Do your diligence and see for yourself. Mustangs like this rarely come to market as the market is saturated with
lesser quality builds and bad Eleanor clones.
The real deal is right here! A Top build is the sum of the best components and the skilled craftsman behind it.
The Ultimate Pro Touring Mustang FastbackThese are bold statements but considering the offerings on the market over the past 5 years we feel this build
clearly justifies our claim. Cars of this caliber RARELY come up for sale as owner’s commission top builders all
over the USA to build their dream car and they sit in private collections for many years. Some of the wildest Pro
Tour Mustangs built have had blank check funding totaling up to $700,000. The last incredible 69/70 Mustang
Fastback to be sold to the public was the Ring Brothers Dragon, which sold for $385,000+ buyers premium and sales
tax 2 years ago in Scottsdale. The final cost was well over $400,000 for that killer car and there hasn’t been
another 69/70 fastback built to that that level since. The 69/70 Mustang fastbacks are becoming so coveted because
of their historic Trans Am roots and their bad ass styling as buyers today are enthusiastically seeking these
models built with modern amenities and just enough custom flare to make it unique and more enjoyable. If you have
ever driven a stock 69/70 Mustang even a Boss 429 they are nothing to write home about and are unsafe in their
handling and braking on our congested public roads. This Pro Touring Ford Mustang Mach 1 can be shown nationally at
any Goodguys event with honors due to the level of craftsmanship and detail throughout. It can compete in the
Optima Street Car Challenge and any SCCA Autocross and Street Machine of the Year events and be eligible for
vintage racing in specified classes. The Mach 1 was originally built for a private VIP client of ours who
meticulously demanded the best so we designed and developed this car over the course of 2 years. The car is
properly sorted and turn key. The brake system and suspension were developed by the leaders at Detroit Speed while
leading suspension engineers at JRI, sorted and fine tuned the dampening and spring rates for months. The full
sequential 8 throttle body 427 engine is so fine tuned you can drive it in 3 hour long traffic easier than a new
2016 Mustang and the monster 600+hp 427 Stack Injected motor runs cooler than the modern modular 5.0. This car not
only looks incredible but it drives unlike any other custom built Mustang in the country and will out handle any
other Pro touring car on the market with the right skilled driver behind the wheel and planted in the Porsche 997
turbo bucket seats that were custom tailored for this car. This Ford Mustang Mach 1 Pro Touring is a balanced and
well-executed masterpiece. Tenaciously fabricated and built with precision by true artisans and performance
engineers with the goal of creating the ultimate modified Mustang fastback in the world. Not overdone with shaved
door handles and unreliable and jarring airbag suspension or cheap Billet wheels. This car was built with style,
luxury and performance, This car is the perfect mix of original classic 69/70 Mustang styling with the proper
modern touches juxtaposed perfectly to create the masterpiece that it is. The best components and partners were
instrumental in this build to truly make it spectacular.
What stated with an original September 1969 built Mach 1 according to the Marti Report was meticulously transformed
into a work of art after over 2500 hours of true artisan craft was dedicated towards this build. The parts cost on
this project was over $150,000 not including all labor. The rust free original donor car was $52,000. This build
cost the owner well over the current asking price. Do the math and realize a top tier build does not come cheap but
starting with a rust bucket and inferior bolt on parts never makes any sense in the end. This Mach 1 wears all
original sheet-metal and you know how rare this is. The body modifications are so subtle while we retained the true
classic lines of the original design by enhancing just the right areas without going overboard on the theme which
usually takes away from the styling. Our parent division ACS Garage, a team of highly trained custom car builders
and performance engineers who have built multi million dollar cars over the past 25 years, exotic, muscle and
Concour level restorations . ACS Garage partnered with the BEST vendors in the industry to make this project a
reality. This car was built to drive, handle and perform beyond the levels of most custom car builds. The majority
of components on this build are one-off. We turned to the most dedicated racing circle of industry experts in the
world by using Nascar engineers and companies to offer the best of the best in performance parts. The level of key
components that were designed, engineered and perfected for this car all come from Nascar country.
The vehicle has garnered worldwide appeal because car enthusiasts know it was built right. Our partnering vendors
still say it is one of their favorite builds as they regularly blast the car on social media. Detailed top to
bottom from the meticulously polished stainless steel screws and hardware throughout to every square inch of the
custom patterned and tailored Italian leather interior that would be at home in any Hermes workshop. The body is
straight as an arrow and the black paint reflections are nothing but breathtaking, the photos speak for themselves.
The car can be shown with mirrors under it’s gleaming skin as all of the hardware is polished and all other
components expertly painted or powder coated to perfection. The exhaust system itself is a work of stainless steel
sculptural art.
There are a ton of junk boxes on the market these days and if anyone is knowledgeable you can pick those cars out
quite easily. All you need to do is see their spec sheets and look up the costs of those parts versus what we are
disclosing on this build to see the drastic differences. There are even cars on the market priced well over ours
that are running a carbureted engine or a glorified fox body donor 302 and some using a REPOP body shell from
Taiwan with no authentic Ford serial numbers for title and registration. This Mach 1 has serious mass appeal inside
and out, the best parts you can source and some of the most amazing custom car talent thrown in for good measure.
We have over a 1000 photos and support docs documenting the entire build which will be included in the sale along
with testing and development media, software files for different fuels and driving conditions, spare parts and
detailed support for the next owner on set up, alignment, braking. Full disclosure of all build costs and parts
costs will be given to the new owner.

How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe
Wed, 09 Oct 2013
We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
