I can’t beleive how good this car looks. It’s ridiculous. Wipe your jaw off the floor, because I want you to meet my future daily driver,’Copperback’. Copperback is an extensively modified and worked ‘67 Ford Mustang, the product of well-known American modifiders ‘The Ring Brothers’.
The Copperback sold recently at a Barrett-Jackson Auction (think Shannons) for 159,000 Yankee bucks. Another product of these gifted brothers, ‘Reactor’, went for $253,000. If you followed SEMA, you may have known it. These guys show amazing diligence and workmanship to create such things of beauty.
Dazzling amounts of bespoke material is used throughout the cars. Copperback, for example the suspsenion, steering and brakes are all new, custom jobs. A 427 cubie, 560 HP Roush Racing engine is mated to a Tremec 5-speed tranny. Panels have been modified and fabricated all over the place, along with shaved doorhandles to accentuate the car’s beautiful lines.
One hundred and sixty grand? Bargain!
