    1969 Ford Mustang Mach 40 Concept 5.4L Mid-Engine Build Project
    Mustang Mach 40
    Originally a 1969 Mach 1, the goal was to create a what-if mid-engine concept car. The idea: put a '69 Mach 1 and 2006 GT 40 super car together, incorporating the modern Ford technology into the body of a Mach 1.
    The car was being built to be a one off, but also built to perform. The power train, a 5.4 liter dual overhead cam GT super car motor, was upgraded so it has a Wipple 4 liter super charge along with drive by wire throttle. In addition the motor was converted to a flex-fuel system.
    The base horsepower can be dialed in, literally there is a dial control in the car, from 600 to 850 HP. It also has auto and manual traction control.
    It was important to keep the body style a true-to-its-roots 1969 Mach 1, they did not want a modern looking car.

    I don't know why everyone keeps commenting on their opinion of the wheels. They are just an upscale version of 69 Mustang Mach 1 wheels. If it really bothers you guys this much, when you buy this car, which you won't be able too, its 20 lugs to change them to whatever you want. It's not the end of the world. This is the best built car I've ever seen shared, just amazing.

    What a Joy to see such fabulous work. Amazing fabricating by true craftsmen who can do anything with metal. A beautiful Mustang like no other anywhere made by anyone. There aren't enough complimentary things to say. I'm stuck on Amazing. The best of the best is a good description of this master piece of engineering and fabrication. Wish it was mine. Just to look at it gives me pleasure.

    Gorgeous! My favorite year of the Mustang. My first car was a 69 Mach1 with the 351W 4bbl. Love watching the build, the attention to detail, the craftsmanship, the concept, and of course the performance. Just wished you would have left the clock in the passenger dash pod because it's a defining feature of the Mach1. I know, I know, no one's stopping me from building my own... Man, that car is sexy!

      Love this, it's not just the amazing craftsmanship, but being able to imagine the concept and build it. I'd have kept the GT40 theme going on the wheels though, black 6 spoke with a silver spinner at the centre just like the originals. When I hit the lottery jackpot I'm getting one of these

    THE NEW BENCH MARK! I am in total awe of your skills! The wheels are similar in design as to way back in about 73 I made the first lot of chrome 12 slot wheels down under when working for a wheel company! "MULLINS WHEELS" and over the years they have proven to be the biggest seller of ANY WHEEL in Australia, Not really sure though if I would have used them on this beautiful vehicle!
