1967 supercharged shelby

[chatas1]

Hello! I'm new to the forum but have been restoring cars for years. This is a great site with a lot of awesome builds. For the last few years I have been restoring a 67 mustang fastback. Although it looks way down the line with building, there is still plenty to do. Here are the highlights.

This is a San Jose built fastback - It's also a clone, not the real deal.

2012 supercharged coyote -625 HP
6 speed manual trans
ford 9" (3.89 gear)
rod and custom 4 link in the back
TCI rack and pinion in the front
Wilwood Disc brakes at all corners
Tanks - EFI tank
Branda fiberglass - with a lot of modification required
shaved drip rails
Narrowed bumpers- fit to the body
18 x 10 wheels in back 18 x 8 in front (fronts were narrowed)
2" mini tub
auto meter gauges
and the list goes on.

I'll load more photos later. Probably should go to work now...

You've got good taste! You should post some pictures of the rest of the cars in your garage too

Two pictures??!! What a tease...

What a stacked garage! 2 '67 Fastbacks, a 911 Turbo AND is that a GT40??

And by that I mean, welcome! You're clearly in the right place! ;)

Serious brag collection

Exactly what I was thinking!

Awesome, but we need more pictures! Especially us on the other side of the bridge.

Ha! Thanks guys… I seem to share the same addiction as you all do. I have been lurking around this site for about a year and I finally decided to post! The work on this site is incredible. I love the amount of fabrication that is going on here. The GT 40 is another project in itself. It's a RCR replica. Great kit, a ton of "figuring out" but a lot of fun. I hope to get back onto that one this summer. Trying to finish this black one first.

Here are a few more images of that project. I just ordered the sound system for it this week. Thanks to a fellow forum member (Scott with the 66 Chevelle). Great guy and full of information!

Here goes..



Had to do a little modification for the coyote to fit.



TCI coyote engine mounts. They worked out nice. my original plan was to build a 408 stroker motor.. Then the coyote came out.



Test fit the engine for the 5th time… You will see that I modified the shelby hood to accommodate the supercharger.



..and here is the hood. I went up 1.75" and out 3" for the scoop.. A lot of work.



Shaved drip rails. I think this turned out really nice. I never liked all the pieces that the original used..



Door gaps. We did some pretty extensive work to the sheet metal… New full quarters, new one piece floor pan, etc..



..and some paint work.







a ton of work to get the back decklid to fit properly..



the bumpers were narrowed to fit tight to the body.

[chatas1]

a lot of wet sanding to blend the stripes.. Didn't want any ridges



my jeep scrambler in the background. I love that thing!





It's hard to see here but notice the bumper fit. The gaps turned out really nice. It's amazing on what the tolerances were originally. We added about .75" to the top of the bumper to close the huge factory gap.



295's in the back. I think I could have gotten away with 305's.. The car was mini tubbed (2")



I"m pretty happy with the wheels. They were pretty inexpensive but the look feels right for me at least.



Here I'm mocking up the "rear seat delete". This is foam core. I have since built it out of baltic birch which will be wrapped in carpet. I also added a compartment for the amp.

random underside pics. This is the gas tank. It's set up for EFI with internal baffles and an in tank pump.



Rod and customs linked suspension in the back. Nice setup. Easy install.







Front bumper. A little dirty but you get the idea



rear bumper.







My favorite part of the car.. The 67 shelby front end is iconic… (at least I think so!)



mock up for the intercooler tank. Guess what car this came off of? I will give you a hint. 40 is no longer in the title of the car.. ;)

I just read that.. Too funny. Believe me, I'm a regular joe that loves to build cars.

Awesome, but we need more pictures! Especially us on the other side of the bridge.

I owned a 67 GT350 in the early 70's. I concur with the front end. Great build. Waiting for the test drive.

Badass, loving the color combo and everything. Makes me wish i had more done on my 67 gt500 clone...

I'm in KS all the time for work… I drive down when I'm done!

They are great looking cars. Hey, do you have a big block for your car? I have a 67 GT390 that came with the original engine and a never been fired 428 with a dual quad. It's an amazing engine with great components. I think I want to return the 390 car to it's original glory.. Here are a couple of pics. I am interested in selling the engine and trans (auto). It's around 650-700 HP.

Some beautiful work right there!! Well done sir!

I did the opposite on the engine... thought about the Coyote for my build but I have one in my Boss (and love it!!)... had the 5.4 in my Shelby making 1000hp (and loved it)... but wanted a good ole' fashioned push rod motor making 600+hp with stack injection!! I did the 408, 8 stacks, big heads and custom cam!!

Lovin' the choices we have today!! Good luck with the build! It's sweet!

[lucky13firebird]

Man i wish, but i wouldn't be able to afford a 428 setup... i snagged a low mileage 429 and c6 out of a 69 thunderbird, that'll have to do for now...

[chatas1]

I did the same with my 69 Mach1. It had a 408 (minus the stacks). Great engine. Lot of torque. Here is a couple of pics... I like the rendering of your 65-66. Nice!









I'm kind of am into the mustangs…

Don't worry, check back in 5 years! I'll probably still have it.

I have an addiction to Mustangs too, I'm having troubles not drooling on my keyboard right now...

I noticed it looks like you are running and MT82 with remote shifter.
You should check out this bracket.http://www.cjponyparts.com/mustang-parts/p/MSSB2/
It is a shifter bracket for the MT82 that essentially converts it to a solid mount shifter like a T56 would have.
Here is a video.
