Must-Have Mustang: Why The Classic Ford Mustang Restomod Is The Ultimate Collector Car

Why settle for ordinary when you can experience extraordinary?

Forget Ferraris and Porsches; if you’re looking for a vehicle that embodies history and performance, add a classic Ford Mustang restomod to your collection. The early Mustang is more than just a car—it symbolizes American muscle and rebellious spirit. A restomod Mustang doesn’t just maintain the look of the past; it reinvents it, marrying timeless design with cutting-edge technology and innovation.

While any early Mustang would make a stunning addition to a collection, a high-quality restomod elevates the classic Mustang to a whole new level, offering the same prestige and exclusivity as a vintage Porsche 911. But what makes these restomods so special? Let’s dive into the allure of the classic Ford Mustang restomod and explore why it deserves a prime spot in your garage.

Old-School Looks

The timeless appeal of vintage cars lies in their classic, old-school looks. For many, these vehicles evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding them of a bygone era when cars were designed with passion and flair. The vintage Ford Mustang is a prime example of this, with its aggressive lines, muscular stance, and unmistakable silhouette. It’s a car that has left an indelible mark on pop culture, thanks to its appearances in action-packed movies such as Bullitt and Gone In 60 Seconds as well as its domination in motorsports. The 1967-68 Mustangs, in particular, are among the most sought-after and recognizable models, making them the perfect candidates for restomods.

In the Signature Series, Velocity’s classic Ford Mustang restomod shows off mag-style wheels and lots of chrome trim, while the Street Series adds a bolder style with billet accents, 19” Forgeline three-piece wheels, and unique louvers on the Fastback. The Velocity Mustang Convertible Package receives a power-retractable soft top that retains the style of the original Mustang while adding modern mechanical and electronic components for easy, carefree operation. Both versions of the Velocity Ford Mustang have various stripe options, including racing stripes and side stripes.

Modern Comfort, Exhilarating Performance

Beneath the vintage exterior of the Velocity Ford Mustang restomod lies a powerhouse of modern engineering. While it may look like a meticulously restored classic on the outside, its performance is anything but old-fashioned. At the heart of each Velocity Mustang is a Gen III 5.0L Coyote V8 paired with an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission. For those who crave a more hands-on driving experience, a Tremec six-speed manual transmission is available as an optional upgrade. This combination of power and precision ensures that the Velocity Mustang delivers a thrilling, high-performance driving experience to back up its vintage style.

But it’s not just the engine that sets the Velocity Mustang apart. The custom exhaust system, featuring Borla mufflers, provides an aggressive tone that resonates with enthusiasts. The driving experience is further enhanced by the Velocity Exclusive chassis from Roadster Shop, which boasts optimized chassis geometry, adjustable coilover suspension, and four-wheel Baer disc brakes. These components work together to offer smooth, responsive handling, making the Velocity Mustang a joy to drive, whether you’re cruising on the highway or tackling twisty backroads.

The interior is thoughtfully crafted to retain the vintage Mustang’s charm while incorporating modern comforts. Features like the Dakota Digital instrument cluster and Vintage Air climate control system ensure that the driving experience is as comfortable as it is exhilarating. The Street Series takes luxury to the next level with custom-machined billet accessories and hand-stitched leather upholstery, providing a bespoke feel worthy of a true collector’s car.

Whether you prefer the sleek Fastback or the Convertible, both body styles are available in either series, offering a range of configurations that cater to every taste and style.
