The Ford Mustang Fox Body is one of America’s most recognizable performance cars of the 1980s and 1990s, but Velocity Restorations has transformed this classic Mustang into something far more capable. This stunning Fox Body resto-mod combines the unmistakable retro styling of the original Mustang with a modern 5.0-liter Ford Coyote V8, 10-speed automatic transmission, independent suspension, six-piston brakes and modern performance tires.

With the optional Whipple supercharger producing 715 horsepower, this lightweight Mustang has the performance to match its aggressive stance while still preserving the character that made the Fox Body an icon.
