You've never seen his car before I take it. It's been posted here many times before. One of those pro touring classic stangs. There are some probably better executed, but hey it's the man's car he has all rights to do what he wants.

He lives in europe and he calls this a mustang.

The front definitely needs some work for the look he's going for I'd say. That being said, that guy has done some serious engineering and fabrication on that car if you look at the previous post. It's not my thing....but then again....it's not my stang...

The car acutally belongs to a gentleman that posts under the name of Preston over at www.corner-carvers.com. It is a very well thought out project with respects to suspension geometry and chassis engineering. It puts over 700hp to the wheels but for some reason I seem to recall him wanting to go for bigger numbers and changing to a turbo setup. Other than the styling (personal taste) its a well respected project car that was built with his own two hands.

What happened there was form following function behind a purpose built track car by a man that could prob. out drive many people in a powerwheels.

Yep, Preston's car is a fine example of SUBSTANCE over style. This is a purpose-built car. I would love to own it, that's for sure!

Yep, purpose built race car, Preston built that car to go around corners and from what I understand it does it well.

Ricer=no

function over form = yep

The flares are more German Touring Car than ricer. These are nicer flares. http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/showtopic.php?tid/1424560/post/new/#NEW

the only thing 68 mustang about Preston's car is the body shell itself. every other piece and part of the car is handmade, right down to the tube frame. the door sills are almost a foot wide about like a c4 vette and the dash is probably a foot longer than a stock one too. there is absolutely nothing about Preston's car that is "rice" at all. the flares are so he could fit , i believe, 275's up front and 315's or so out back and still have a wide enough track that it doesn't effect the scrub radius of the car. pretty sure that car will outhandle just about any other street car out there, whatever it may be, hands down. i doubt if most ferraris cuold hang with it in the twisty bits. well maybe an Enzo...

THe style is not my taste, however, I would be interested to read more about this car. You have to admire a guy who can do that to a car.

My only good impression about the car is that the gentleman built the car outside in his back yard using concrete blocks for jack stands.

I can identify with that.

Yup, IMO that is the most amazing aspect of this car...He literally built it in his driveway somewhere in the upper northwest.

Every once in a while, I see a thread like this pop up about Prestons car. Proves how few people actually know what a real race car looks like.

Yep, Preston has run into this kind of ignorance a few times before, and the proper smackdown has happened every time. This is what happens when one's keyboard is engaged before the brain

Preston could beat any of us on one rollerskate. He knows what he is doing, and built one incredible car

At last year's SAAC convention in Kaliphornia, someone had a recent Trans-Am chassis, full race, covered with a 1970 Mustanf body, painted black. The thing was sinister! Also lapped the entire vintage Trans-Am field by the end of the race.

Similar look to Preston's....

kind of moot at this point

it's been said, but I had the impression after reading the whole story of that car that it was the best handling car-that-looks-like-a-vintage-mustang on the face of the earth. Though just about the only thing "mustang" about it at this point is part of the sheet metal.

Isn't it the sheetmetal that makes it a Mustang. I wouldn't know a cougar from a mustang without it.
