It's a custom build by an incredibly talented and enthusiastic chap called Bodie Stroud. It's unique for many reasons, but mainly because it's got one of the rarest and most powerful engines ever to be put in a first-gen ?Stang.

Sabine Schmitz drives a Ford Transit around the Nurburgring part 1 (series 6, episode 7)
It's one of just ten engines developed for Mario Andretti's 1969 Can-Am racer, a 494-cubic-inch V8 that's dyno'd at 777 horsepower. It was a monster in the race car and even more of one when slotted into a road car. To make sure that power didn't make the muscle car a hedge-magnet, Bodie fabricated a custom chassis with a body-on-frame design that features a unique air suspension setup and exhaust set up. It's also had its roof chopped, wings widened and had some sticky big tyres popped on the back to make it look like a Funny Car. A.K.A awesome.

Watch how it was made below. But grab a tissue (we're sure they're near your keyboard) to mop up your drool, as your mouth will probably be open for the whole five minutes.

awesome car!

What an awesome video! So well done, loved it.

You're better off using tech to get that out of half the displacement.

Fucking amazing :thumbsup

One of the best builds I have ever seen!

It's no Tesla or Camaro, but its ok I guess..

:)

Camaros sucked so bad they stopped making them.

:laughing- camoros look way better than crappy boxy mustangs

lolz.....

thats was awesome.

:1orglaugh No shit, perhaps you missed the whole point?

Go back, watch the video and actually listen to what is said.

awesome video, one of my favourite all time cars

so bad ass

Kinda gay looking, and it doesn't look very safe. They should replace the engine with a nice little 4 cylinder to save gas and make it quieter too. Maybe painting a smiley-face on the hood will give people a smile as the owner drives it around town to get groceries, etc. Wouldn't that be better?

oldies but goldies - thats only what I can say - very nice !!!!

:thumbsup

Absolutely amazing. That hood strikes some fear. ;)

My uncle had one of the first cobras. Finally sold it and made a lot of cash.
