- 1966 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Fastback 5.0-liter Coyote Restomod Build Project
Given that, it comes as little surprise that when business mogul and car collector Chris Tawil wanted a 1966 Mustang fastback built, he knew that Detroit Speed was the right outfit for the task. “A while back Chris purchased a previous customer build that we had done, a ’69 Camaro that was originally built for Michael Manning of American Autowire,” Butts explains. “He owned that car for a few years - he really liked the style of it and was impressed by the car overall, so he reached out to us about doing a build that was specifically for him.”
The idea was to create a fastback Mustang that would able to seriously perform, but it also had to remain very streetable and not deviate too far from the car’s original iconic look. Butts says that Detroit Speed’s own ’66 Mustang test car had served as Tawil’s inspiration for the build, but after an on-track incident, the shop car was on an indefinite hiatus. “We tore it up pretty badly at an autocross, but Chris really liked that car. So he basically purchased it as a parts car, and we built him a new version starting with a different bare shell. It still has a lot of similar characteristics to the shop car, but it’s refined to a much higher degree.”
Tawil explained that he didn’t want to go overboard on the exterior mods, so Detroit Speed took a calculated approach to the aesthetic, applying subtle fender flares, flush-mounted the glass, and tucked in the bumpers to tidy things up. As you’d expect, Detroit Speed’s Aluma-Frame front suspension system replaces the stock components and a DSE Quadralink system is installed in the back, and DSE subframe connectors have also been installed to improve the Mustang’s structural rigidity. The fastback’s hunkered down stance comes courtesy of JRI double-adjustable coilovers and DSE mini tubs, the latter of which make room for the wide Forgeline three-piece wheels. Baer brakes with six-piston calipers and 14-inch discs are installed at all four corners to provide modern stopping power.
Under the hood is a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 built by Roush Yates Engines. Outfitted with custom ground cams, a GT350 intake manifold, a Holley Dominator EFI system, DSE stainless Coyote swap headers, and a custom three-inch exhaust system with Hooker VR304 mufflers, the naturally aspirated mill puts out a healthy 530 horsepower at the wheels. The power is channeled through a Bowler T-56 Magnum gearbox to a Dynotech driveshaft with a billet Sonnax yoke, and it makes its way to the pavement through a Gear FX Ford 9-inch rear end with a TrueTrac 31-spline differential and a 4.56 ring and pinion. DSE’s C6-style full floater hubs and axles are also equipped to handle the additional grunt.
As with the exterior, a number of subtle tweaks have been applied to the Mustang’s cabin to refine its look rather than reinventing it. “The whole interior is custom, but it also looks like it could have been there from the factory,” says Butts. “It’s got Cobra front seats that have been upholstered in the same stitch and insert pattern as the original Mustang seats, and the door panels also have a factory appearance to them, but they’ve been reshaped to better integrate the arm rests and give them a sleeker appearance overall.” The car also retains its factory folding rear seat, which has been narrowed to accommodate the mini tubs. Mark Mcdonald and Josh Smith handled the fabrication work on the Mustang, while Michael Neighbors and Austin Moore wrapped up the bodywork before laying down the PPG Wimbledon White paint. Jason Eads completed the electrical and tuning work on the car, incorporating items like the hand-made headlight bezels with integrated turn signals and the custom LED taillights with billet bezels seamlessly, among other details that require a trained eye to pick out.

This video purpose is to tell world about amazing car build project and to inspire ever growing car builder community around the world. So if you're inspired in building your own car and want to learn more about how to do it in best way, don't hesitate and read build source page so you can learn something new and if something is not clear you can always ask builder some questions about the build.
Good music. Good Car. I wish I had the resources to restore a car to this degree of perfection. Good Job.
All that beautiful fabrication hidden under refrigerator white and satin black paint. Fantastic build and beautiful car.
Subtle, beautiful, powerful, and just right!
you're doing great stuff. it was perfect, even ford has not made it so beautiful. I like the video style because there is no unnecessary talk, there is detail.
Simply amazing build , congrats to builder..,s for their attention to details , and finished look
Beautiful ride!!!!!!
Absolutely awesome build and excellent video and pictures and execution of the shots and footage
allowing you to see the work that was done and I am a ford guy so I really enjoyed this awesome video.
And I am sure some Chevy guys won’t be happy when they see the taillights disappearing as the
mustang pulls quickly away.
Love this. Wish all restorations and restomods had this level of attention to detail. Maybe that’s the military aircraft mechanic in me . I would love to do a few custom one off ideas and level of restoration to my ‘98 GT one day… but there’s this thing called money. Which I don’t have lol brushed aluminum, some interior pieces wrapped in leather, updates, shaved engine bay, still using the 4.6 modular based engine with a lot of little tricks, etc. I could rattle off an impressive list similar to this build. Anyway, amazing job! If I ever get lucky enough to hit the lotto, I know who’s getting a phone call right away.
Seen lots of nice interiors, but this one actually looks pretty comfy too!
I am sorry they never made a boss 302 in 1966. But excellent effort to make this a recreation of your own
Beautiful work.
Attention to detail, off the chain!
That is my dream car…..badass Mustang
De toute beauté sérieux trop kool vous faites du sacré travail en tout cas force et honneur à vous 👍🏽💪🏽✌🏽🏴☠️
She is amazing! Nice work!
One of my favorites car... Nice job, perfect work
Very good job, I have a question. What car did they use the floor for the transmission tunnel?
It's just. Eye pleasing
Stunning
Me encanto ese trabajo, mis felicitaciones al equipo de constructores que trabajo en este auto, son unos artistas, crearon una belleza de auto, gracias por compartir esos videos tan inspiradores.
Long painful with alot of trial-and-error but Beautiful end result build 👏 congratulations
Big like
Super art work
Very very spacioal❤
I enjoyed the video. I wish we could have seen the car being driven and listened to the engine as it accelerated.
Wow! Clean build!
If ever there was a Mustang that would have deserved an electric windows upgrade, this one is it.
Very nice build
💯👉Excellent work, you have amazing skill..
Mustang forever, best car ever made!🐍
Que trabalho magnífico, ficou irado, parabéns mais uma vez se superou.
Osmar tell Johnny Sanchez two get ready two pick up his car
Beautiful I love it.
Спасибо большое автору за крутое провиденоэ время, не хватило только в конце звука работы двигателя
maybe the best i have ever seen
My dream to see the muscle car in awd modification
Superb
Very well done. I would have done a shelby hood and lower valance, but nice work!
I'm starting on my 65 coupe and have been going back and forth on hood lower valance too. this build just made my decision harder. mines factory gt so I'm keeping fog lights.
Great job!
Beautiful
Great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😱🇦🇺🦘🐨
Whow now 😊 that’s nice 👍
Nice! Front wheels need an inch of spacing...minimum.
Maybe didn’t need to flare front guards as much as they did
What turn signal is been used for this project ?
Actually bought my wife a '66 convertible 6 cylinder automatic. Actually she wrote along with me halfway across the country go get it and it would have been a great RUclips moment. Because she wasn't going to help me get that blanket blank work truck out of there that I bought! When she saw it mustang convertible you would have thought she won the sweepstakes. Beautiful shape inside and out. But the underneath is a different story. All the pans are fine the rails are almost non-existent. Knew that the rails were rough but not like that bad. Get out there and pay for it anyway price that the man and I agreed upon all the over the phone. The point is you have a beyond beautiful 66 mustang and I'm going to use that as a learning tool. Because right now it's either sell the car or fix it! I have a complete police interceptor donor. I have skills but nothing near the skill that put your car together. The hundreds of hours or more. The sheet metal works he done is just totally fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to put this online
awesome
perfect
Can somebody tell which welding is this co2, mig mag or tig?
top demais 🇧🇷
Wow…
what was the cost? anyone have guess
Beautiful accept seats are too bulky for my taste

Beautifull, love this resto mod but not with these wheels.
All part of the restomod package
I agree, but it's a matter of taste. They did a beautiful job on this car, but I'd go for more traditional wheels. Nothing else on the exterior of the car screams restomod. Obviously the owner's preference, and easy to change. I just bought my first Mustang (06 GT) all stock, and I'm thinking about replacing the stock wheels with Cragars. Or maybe Bullitts. But I am old fashioned.

BEAUTIFUL- 1 THING Rims to big. More RUBBER
Mntanp....
Yotuobe oto boyaci ibo denezli beravo
Lots of cash. Not a driver at that level for most. We didn’t even get to hear the engine.
Y ji ji
Too long video.
Boring hour of stills...ok only watched 1 minute then got annoyed with this....
I'd like it better if it was mine.
Beautiful
