Designed and built by Don Gasuinas, (Canada's 'Chip Foose'), this stunning and highly driveable resto-mod (restored & highly modified) 1970 Mach 1 Mustang is a show winner everywhere it appears. This completely unique, extemely poweful, bright red beauty is a joy to drive. It has been designed for a trouble free, low maintenance drivng experience. The brilliant finish, wide, low stance and perfect growl will get you neck-breaking attention at any event and on any street. Guaranteed! A cut above - way above - all the rest.
Beginning with a rust-free, low mileage original 1970 Mach 1, Don added 21st century technology to get the best of both worlds. The contemporary, sophisticated drive train, suspension and interior were encased in the original exciting Mach 1 body. That body also recieved numerous styling and functional improvements using the best professional fabricators, craftsmen and technicians in the business. No expense was spared in choosing the best of everything after painstaking research.
