Just an absolutely fantastic take on the Mustang; as a classic muscle-car enthusiast, absolutely love it!

Inboard brakes are kind of cool but I don't really see the point? The argument could be made about unsprung weight and therefore ride, but the suspension doesn't seem to be particularly designed for additional travel up or down. The exposed roll cage is also a really weird and kind of ugly choice, to my eyes. Better than nothing but in all honesty it doesn't keep the lines enough to be better than just adding the fastback body panels. But then if I were building a rally mustang I'd be tempted to grab some portals for it, so I'm weird.

The reason for the inboard brakes is likely just that it's a heidts center section. They're just using a precooked diff casing which comes with brake mounts.

Is that an actual car? To me, the wording in the article makes it sound like it is, but all the photos look like computer renders.

It's not yet. These are all renders, but the firm has plans to build one prototype, and then follow it up with a small production run if the demand is there. (Its other restomods typically have runs of two dozen cars or so.)

Darn good renders, tbh. Had me fooled at a glance, but I can see the signs upon further inspection.

Bowler-ify a Bronco instead.
