Rumor
 
OK, maybe I'm just gullible. Anyway, a friend swears that he read about a company building '67 Mustangs identical to the originals but with new technology. Not that I would ever part with my '67 coupe but I would be interested something like this if it was true. Anybody heard about this? I can't imagine Ford allowing it to happen. E.

Not sure about the Stangs, but there's a company out there doing that with '69 Camaros (Can I say that in here??? LOL) Still in the works, haven't built the first one yet. Price range is going to be around the $90,000 mark. Haven't found the website or anything yet either.

I think that'd be cool if FoMoCo let something like that happen! Closest thing I've seen, is the Eleanor clones that you can have built.

Yep - you are correct - there is a company building 2 classic Mustangs. Can't recall the name - it was just in Mustang Monthly in the past 3 months. They are bulding a 1965 Fastback - Like the original GT Shelby - I believe the price tag on that one is about $85,000.00 and the 69 is a GT version at about $150,000.00 . If you are really interested in these - Let me know and I will look up the info and get it to you...

Whoa! Just a bit out of my price range. Perhaps I'll just keep improving on my old '67 daily driver. Anyway, I kind of like the idea of being able to open the hood and recognizing most of the stuff in there. Thanks for the info. E.

Yep - that is what I thought too. They looked really great, but for $100,000 + they should have . I will stick with mine too....Not anywhere in my rance for a new car. Might as well get a new GT (40) that is....

As far as i know, it was a company out california, and they bought the orignal molds to the 65 coupe and the 69 shelby GT 500. i believe they are in santa monica. my grandfather told me about it i guess 6 months or so ago.Kinda pissed me off that it was a 65 if you can just go out and buy one new, then where is the prestige in owning and driveing a classic made from a certin date.He said the 65GT was saposed to go for 85-90k and the 69 was 170-200k he mailed me the artical i got it somewhere around here. ill try to find it and scan it, its from the L.A Times.

It looks like the stock suspension is out, and they are possibly using a mustang II setup. In both of their engine pictures the shocks seemed to be removed. I guess they could use another of the aftermarket set ups like TCP.
