Process

From a new chassis to a future classic.

Build times vary depending on order timing and options selected. Carbon autoclave. S197 GT500 or S550 GT350 / GT500 through 2024. Factory electronics left intact so a Ford shop can still read the car.

    Donor

    A factory-new or low-mile Shelby or Mustang chassis is selected — S197 GT500 (2013–14), S550 GT350 and GT500 through 2024, 5.0, or a current-year platform. Every modern system stays: airbags, ABS, traction, launch control, OBD-II.

    Chassis

    The car is stripped to the unibody. Chassis braces are welded. Suspension geometry is retained and can be specified with Steeda coilovers or tubular components for street or track.

    Carbon body

    The 1967–68 fastback is adapted in CAD, then realized in dry carbon through autoclave — more than 300 custom parts, 3D-printed components, and widened fenders to cover modern tracks. Doors and tail lamps sit in true 1967 positions.

    Cabin

    A 1967 dashboard is integrated with a modern electrical system. Italian and German leather, Alcantara, Recaro seats, Focal audio, Alpine navigation, push-to-start, dual-zone climate, and Ford GT-style switchgear.

    Commission

    Paint, stripes, wheels, scoops, and interior are specified with the client. Build times vary depending on order timing and options selected. The finished car remains serviceable at a Ford-qualified shop.
