Whilst I appreciate the high$$ builds you show.....THIS is much more to my taste. It keeps the beautiful looks from the 60s, but with just enough updates to keep it relevant today. And quite possibly the best sounding Coyote powered Mustang I've ever heard. Awesome!
@@AutotopiaLA yeah for sure, I have a 2017 Mustang GT 5.0, dream is having a restored 67 fastback with 2012 Shelby GT500 heart plant as a daily would be epic.
Absolutely love that car. My first car was a 67 coup. Always wanted a fastback. Thanks for the work you do showing us these awesome cars. Enjoy your channel alot
@@brandonknight7240 mine was white. Gave 950 for it. I was 15., my buddy and i were running the roads , i was on a Big Red 3-Wheeler (the first big thing I ever purchased) paid 1500 for it. I had been working for my Dad since i was 13. After school, all summer long. We did construction and worked many 12-15 hour days in the summer. I made 3.50 an hour. Those were the best times of my life.
The sound of that Coyote engine was the only music I Like to hear, I love it! Thank's for sharing it. Back in '68, I had a 68 Mustang Convertible, red/ red interior w/white top, 390 4spd, I wanted to trade it in if I could have gotten a green 2+2, none in Flint, Michigan at the time.
These cars are my favorites that you do... the not super high end but (almost) Everyman builds, like this one and the old school big block Chevelle you did running 15” rallye wheels still. Absolutely the best versions of these cars. The problem? Not everyone has good taste, even pro builders. They do gimmicky or trendy touches to show off talent, not make a good or well engineered product. Not always but often. Almost always though the cars they build are trends, not timeless. So in a few years these builds are going to look as dated as a pro build from the 90’s does now but classic looks will always be classic, never outdated.
I hear you and agree a lot of time although I really love seeing the builds with radical Fab work for the artistry. But this one is a timeless driver and I love it too!
Being A territory sales manager for O’Reilly auto parts, I did get to see one of The three Eleanor‘s that were built for the movie gone in 60 seconds here in Wisconsin, being a territory sales manager for O’Reilly auto parts I got to see many of the cars built especially the javelin they came out of the hot Rod Magazine and the knight rider. Also got chip Foose and Richard Rawlings as well as Richard Petty pictures sign and autographed. As well as meeting annoying upper management for the company, these people are awesome That’s why I love working for this company. It is my passion. As well as my coworkers and upper management are so awesome. That is my passion in cars of any kind.
Love the old classic Mustangs. And the updated powetrain just makes it better. Nice ride. Get better soon man. But thanks for pushing thru the flu and sharing this video.
You are Awesome for digging into the issues for him with a massive improvement that Kyle might had never chased down knowing no different… No hate on Kyle but because of your experience he ends up with a entirely different car that he never knew was that good….Props to you my friend… Love the car and the package…Wouldn’t change anything honestly…Dig It!
Do really like the fastbacks but partial to my 68 Cougar Dad bought new when I was 5, bought it from him in highschool 40yrs back, Restored it right some yrs ago and get over 400hp through a 302 I detuned for pump gas. Wrinkles the tires no problem and goes. Stacy David built a killer version with the coyote, whole lotta work! I get my coyote fix with my F150, runs like a bat outa hell!
A beautiful car and restomod. By far, one of my favs. I, too, kept expecting that black Dodge to show up, lol. I wish my budget would some day allow for such a ride.
42 years ago, I learned to drive and drift on the very same car, with original 289 hipo... I remember the cool nights in SoFla , windows open, embarrassing corvettes, and laying down 100 yards of smoke.... oh those were the days.... when I find one, make sure its really locked up, or the ghost of 1982 will be driving it on the Ft Lauderdale strip...... mmmmmm
I got a 68 Camaro, always been a Chevy fan but I will say the 67-69 Mustang fastbacks are my favorite body style. Them things are just the coolest looking cars there is
Beautiful build. Obviously needs a new hood. When I was 8 my mom tapped a pole in her "67 GTA (in 67!) Bent the beak down in the same way. I worshipped that car and was heartbroken until it was fixed.
I am very stern on original but some things need to change this build is absolutely beautiful ,I finally decided to upgrade my Mustangs and trans ams to modern drive train so they can be daily drivers I dont want garage queens I want to enjoy them while Im still young and have the money to do the builds great job
I had the same problem with my 64.5 coyote swapped, luckily I had an nGauge attached. When I went through the various gauges, I spotted the AFR showing 26:1 instead of 14.6 on the right bank. I slapped in a new sensor and plugs and was back in the saddle. Apparently those sensors can die easily.
The aesthetic of these cars just does not age. In a hundred years this car will still look better than all the iPads on wheels spat out by the industry.
Shawn - lol, I can’t be the only guy Sub’d to OldCarMemories?! Just minutes before your post, Kevin posted ‘Why the 67/68 turned Mustang into a legend’... Lovely post and engine story. Really sweet homages to Bullitt film in your camera angles, even in the shop... You really made the most of the short-throw shifter!
My parents had a '66 convertible, new, but the 289 never ran like that. Of course, the Ford-O-Matic 3-Speed Auto wasn't gonna impress too many people either but it was a nice looking car, especially in 1966.
I'd love to see a base model 72 done right. Looks more like, but not quite, a 71 from the windshield forward. But, 72 from windshield back. Seems to be somewhat rare nowadays. All you see are Gran Torinos. My first car was a 72 base model with a 351-C. Miss it so much!
Yeah, this car is still just about the perfect blend of old and new! Perhaps get rid of the leaf springs too, but then it really is spot on! Really want one :) (personally I'd probably select a different colour and style of rim, but that just preference)
That’s an awesome car a true daily driver not extreme not shaking all over the place has great power looks like it gets off the line very well now I’m probably gonna have to change up my whole game plan for my 65 coupe
Everytime I see this 68 , FASTBACK I THINK OF STEVE MCQUEEN IN BULLET 😮 UNBELIEVABLE MOVIE 🎥 IT SET THE BEST EVER CHASE SENECES IN A MOVIE AND NO ONE EVER LOOKED BACK I COULD WATCH IT OVER AN OVER AGAIN TWO OF THE BEST CARS 69 DODGE CHARGER RT,

Dark Moss Green...my 64/5 was that color when I bought it in 1970. Painted it LeMans Blue(GM-corvette-'70).
I love these fast backs. What a clean genuine looking example
It’s so good. Probably my favorite year of Mustang is the 67 Fastback
Whilst I appreciate the high$$ builds you show.....THIS is much more to my taste. It keeps the beautiful looks from the 60s, but with just enough updates to keep it relevant today. And quite possibly the best sounding Coyote powered Mustang I've ever heard. Awesome!
I love em all but yes, this one is more realistic for most of us. Perfect driver
Stance, look, power. This ride has it all. Jealous af.
Me too. Wish this was mine!
AutotopiaLA you should add a mustang logo to the grill.
@@julianholm7531 no shot. This is clearly a Bullit inspired build. No emblem.
@@legendarymoji the bullitt one should have one too
This is my dream car build. If I ever do this and just experience it for one day I could die happy no questions asked.
It’s so good! Total driver and looks great. Love this car!
@@AutotopiaLA yeah for sure, I have a 2017 Mustang GT 5.0, dream is having a restored 67 fastback with 2012 Shelby GT500 heart plant as a daily would be epic.
I'm glad you revisited this one! I loved it the first time!
It deserved it after sorting things out
That sound! I like that it doesn't have 16" wide tires on the back. So cool
Perfect old/new blend for me
I see Coyote and immediately stop what I'm doing and click ! Beautiful Beast right there !
It’s such a well done car and now it runs hard like it should
Absolutely love that car. My first car was a 67 coup. Always wanted a fastback. Thanks for the work you do showing us these awesome cars. Enjoy your channel alot

Thank you. I think the 67 Fastback is the best Mustang body ever personally. This one is so good
@@AutotopiaLA I agree. I think the air vents behind the door look good and the beefed up wider look was a big improvement over the 64-66.
@@AutotopiaLA I like a 67 with a 68 hood.
No competitions, no bad ego, ''Just simply drive'' ... Perfect
Exactly. Perfect driver and looks great left simple
@@AutotopiaLA I wish there was more badass cars like that in Québec city.
I’m glad that car got the second chance it deserved! Another great upload Shawn
Thanks. It’s so much better now. Runs perfectly
I like the overall clean and simple look, no big wheels, no flared fenders, and no added scoops and vents.
Dry simple driver. Perfect blend of old and new imo

Retromods are the future.
Especially as clean as that beauty. Expect that car and others like it to only appreciate in value.
I love this one. Perfect blend of old and new
This video worthily continues the idea of the original movie. Perfectly!

And I could drive it all day 👊

Shawn, we want to see you get better soon. Don't push too hard. Listen to your Mom... lotsa chicken soup... it'll do ya good!! ;^)
Thanks guys...close to better finally! Driving cars like this helps
Thanks @gary goodlund! Getting close now
Yes definitely a perfect car! Steve McQueen would be proud!

That's how you drive it bro . Makes me happy man So nice!!!
Awesome!! So much more to go. Barely hitting it through the gears
I've always admired this build. In the perfect world this would be my daily. Sadly, the world is not perfect...
Same for me. Everyday if it was mine
This was definitely worth a second review! Thanks for the drool factor throughout! 😷👍
It deserved it after getting it all sorted out
Oh jeez that looks like fun. Glad the exterior looks stock.
It’s really fun! If it was mine I’d drive it all the time
437 horsepower......you'll put your eye out!
😂
A beautiful car and restomod. By far, one of my favs. I, too, kept expecting that black Dodge to show up, lol. I wish my budget would some day allow for such a ride.
Beautiful car tastefully done!
Agreed 👊
Dang Shawn!! With the exception of it being a 67 that is EXACTLY what I hope get some day. Love it!
It’s so good Ray. Perfect blend of old and new imo

67 fastback in all configuration. Love it.
Love the Dark Moss Green Metallic paint. I have, also, a ‘67 Mustang coupe in the same color. Great vlog, thanks for posting and sharing with us.
im waiting for the day someone does a voodoo swap into a classic mustang, that would be sweet
Yeah that would be badass.
Yes It would
@Jack Russelle Lewis voodoo has a flat plane crank you nugget. it sounds way better, like an exotic european supercar.
Yaze 76 Phillip at Cortex is doing or has already done this.
Jack Russelle Lewis lol no it’s not!
The real Bullitt is back alive . Gorgeous drivers car.
Perfect driver. Begs to get on the road and go
Beefed up Mustang Bullitt ❤️
And different year but close. 67 not 68. Killer Mustang for sure
@@AutotopiaLA still highland green though.
I love it!!!! I like how it has a nice balance of engine and exhaust noise
This is such a perfectly balanced old Fastback with modern power. Love it!!
I got a 68 Camaro, always been a Chevy fan but I will say the 67-69 Mustang fastbacks are my favorite body style. Them things are just the coolest looking cars there is
Dream car right there, feeling like a modern day Steve McQueen
PERFECT BUILD!! LUV IT!! I think Steve McQueen would love it too...
1967 Ford Mustang and California sun
Perfection
Man you got the best job in the world
It definitely doesn’t suck 😂
Beautiful build. Obviously needs a new hood. When I was 8 my mom tapped a pole in her "67 GTA (in 67!) Bent the beak down in the same way. I worshipped that car and was heartbroken until it was fixed.
I’d love to see this hood fixed or replaced too. Otherwise perfect old/new blend
Timeless classic!
It really is. Perfect blend of old and new makes it a great looking reliable driver car
I am very stern on original but some things need to change this build is absolutely beautiful ,I finally decided to upgrade my Mustangs and trans ams to modern drive train so they can be daily drivers I dont want garage queens I want to enjoy them while Im still young and have the money to do the builds great job
That’s awesome! It just makes them more enjoyable and reliable
BIG YES, fucking beautiful classic muscle car.
I’m with you all the way here!!
Man that highland green on a 67 to 68 fastback is unlike nothing else hopefully one day I'll find a fastback or find a coupe to convert
This is exactly what Id want for myself. Future dreams man
I had the same problem with my 64.5 coyote swapped, luckily I had an nGauge attached. When I went through the various gauges, I spotted the AFR showing 26:1 instead of 14.6 on the right bank. I slapped in a new sensor and plugs and was back in the saddle. Apparently those sensors can die easily.
They’re not very reliable. One of them went after replacing with brand new. But once it got sorted it was incredible to drive!
Very clean, love the stock look & meaty sound man! I had the same color with my '67 GT Fastback with 390 & 4-speed.
Very cool. I love the set up of this one
I love this car. Something i would drive every day.
lovely stuff
Truly perfect blend of old & new
Clean Clean Clean🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, really clean simple build that drives great
I even love the fastback Torino, a lot of people really don’t care for them but if you get the right rear wheels and tires on them they look beast too
Nice work gentleman 💪
Thank you...it’s a perfect old meets new blend for my taste
perfect car!! the best of 2 worlds!!
Agreed all day here
A little bigger tire on the back and this car would be perfect. Super clean build and so glad you guys got the cobwebs out👍🏼
A little more tire and stickier compound for sure!
Nice old school Mustang!
Yeah, perfect blend of old meets new
What a beautiful car
The aesthetic of these cars just does not age. In a hundred years this car will still look better than all the iPads on wheels spat out by the industry.
Agreed 👊
It’s hard to beat the old carb sound but a 5.0 is awesome.
Agreed all the way here
Love the car it was so nice you had to show it twice .
It deserved it after the tune and got it running right
The GT350 sound from your other video needs to be replicated for this car , love both cars but damn the sound on Dave’s 66 Shelby GT350 !
Nice lil classik!
Really nice. Would drive this all the time if it was mine
Awesome video dude.
Thank you 👊

Another great video 👍👏👏👏👏
Thank you
brutal sound
Perfect Fastback for a driver. Love it!
Can not wait for gt500 swap 🤟🏼
That would be a lot of power for this thing. Definitely more tire needed for that
old, but very tempting 🤤
My parents had a '66 convertible, new, but the 289 never ran like that. Of course, the Ford-O-Matic 3-Speed Auto wasn't gonna impress too many people either but it was a nice looking car, especially in 1966.

Steve McQueen Mustang....mad respect guys...bring it up to San Francisco for the Bullitt run!!!!
Would love to but it’s not mine to bring. Sounds like fun
Any '67 Fairlanes??
Nothing sounds like a cross plane V8. Sweet vid
We did Stropes Fairlane a while back. That is an incredible build
It's got Dat bullet look...😎
Yes it does and it drives great!
Beautiful car
Agreed 👊
Very nice! Still waiting for my Torino tho!... : )
I’ve been searching for a Torino!! Sooner or later
I'd love to see a base model 72 done right. Looks more like, but not quite, a 71 from the windshield forward. But, 72 from windshield back. Seems to be somewhat rare nowadays. All you see are Gran Torinos. My first car was a 72 base model with a 351-C. Miss it so much!
Beard looks good on you man...
Thanks. Started as lazy and now I kinda like it
Dream car😍
For you and me both 👊
Now that 1967 fastback is the shit
Yes it is! Would love to own it
great job, I liked it a lot, 👏🏽 I just left it like👍🏽
It’s such a great Fastback! Love this one!
Just awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, I love this car!
Love that car, glad your shot it again. What transmission is in it?
Trans, engine and rear end are all from a 2014 Mustang 5.0
Shawns a Ford Man for sure
Yeah, this car is still just about the perfect blend of old and new! Perhaps get rid of the leaf springs too, but then it really is spot on! Really want one :)
(personally I'd probably select a different colour and style of rim, but that just preference)
Same for me. I’d go 4 link rear and a little bigger & stickier rear tire. Otherwise this thing is perfect
Super cool!!!
Such a good car
That’s an awesome car a true daily driver not extreme not shaking all over the place has great power looks like it gets off the line very well now I’m probably gonna have to change up my whole game plan for my 65 coupe
This is what a restomod is supposed to be!
Esse mustang é uns dos mais bonitas de todas as geraçoes ! Muito loko esse video ja deixei meu like ! Traduz ai!
Wow, screw that Bullitt Mustang this is the real Bullitt. It has to be frightening. To drive I love it.
Perfect driver. Not overpowered. Perfect
I think Steve McQueen would have a big smile driving that one.
I do too!
That thing is a rolling wet dream...
It’s so good
Perfect car
Agreed 👊
Thats amazing!!! Like it so much
Nice stang 👍
Really good one right here

Agreed 👊
Drink every time he says "it's a completely different car". 😂
Always wanted these kinda Mustangs but the 67-69 model prices are skyrocketing like crazy.
They are because they’re probably the best looking Mustangs ever made
Hey man, I think you do a great job with this channel! Keep it up
Nothings wrong with leaf springs. I go 10s in the quarter and drive it down the highway comfortably 💪🏾
bad ass car
It really is a prefect blend. Great looks and drives incredibly well
