GT500-Style, Supercharged 5.2L Predator-Powered 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback 6-Speed

This 1967 Ford Mustang fastback was delivered new to Young Ford in Charlotte, North Carolina, and became the subject of a GT500-style build carried out at Motorcity Grind in Royal Oak, Michigan. Power comes from a supercharged 5.2-liter Predator V8 linked to a Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission and a Currie 9” rear end. Chassis upgrades include a Mustangs to Fear C-6 front subframe, a Chris Alston’s Chassisworks four-link rear setup, QA1 adjustable coilovers, a splined front sway bar, electric power steering, and Wilwood disc brakes. Inside, black leather upholstery is complemented by a roll bar, a MOMO steering wheel, a Hurst shifter, power windows, air conditioning, a retro-style digital media receiver, and Dakota Digital gauges. American Racing 18” wheels, grille-mounted driving lights, and an electronically adjustable exhaust system are among the other highlights.

The body was stripped and media-blasted during the build, and GT500-style components sourced from Tony D. PPG products were then used to repaint the car in white with silver over-the-top stripes under clearcoat. Details include grille-mounted driving lights, a rear spoiler, side scoops, and chrome bumpers.

A Mustangs to Fear C-6 front subframe was installed along with billet spindles, electrically assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and an adjustable splined front sway bar. QA1 adjustable coilovers were fitted at all four corners, and the live rear axle is supported by a Chris Alston’s Chassisworks four-link setup.

American Racing Shelby Cobra 18” wheels wear faux three-eared spinners and are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Braking is handled by Shelby-branded Wilwood calipers with six-piston front and four-piston rear units. A mechanical parking brake is also provided.

A roll bar was added to the cabin, which features Procar-style bolstered front bucket seats and a folding rear bench trimmed in black leather with Shelby-themed embroidery. Siless sound-deadening insulation was applied under the carpets, and an armrest console was installed along with a Hurst billet shifter. Power windows are operated via factory-style window cranks, and additional appointments include air conditioning, billet pedal pads, and a retro-style digital media receiver connected to a trunk-mounted JL Audio JD400/4 amplifier and JBL speakers in the rear bulkhead.
