Raybestos Releases Rendering Of ‘69 Mustang Restomod Prize

shiftsstmustangbuildTrends come and go, but there are certain brands that seem to always been cool and stylish. Harrison Ford, for example, is still just as cool today as when he first donned the costume of Han Solo. The same is true of classic Ford Mustangs, which have remained nearly as popular 50 years after they first debuted, an enduring symbol of American virality and pride. That’s why it’s still a common prize for giveaways of all kinds, including the latest build/contest from Raybestos.

Raybestos, in partnership with Schwartz Performance, has released renderings of a restomod Mustang that it will give away to one lucky grand prize winner next year. And lucky may just be an understatement. Our friends at Silver Sport Transmissions have also jumped on board to sponsor this amazing build. Silver Sport is providing the Tremec T-56 Magnum six-speed transmission with all the necessary hardware to mate engine to transmission. These parts include a steel bellhousing, billet flywheel, RAM performance clutch and the SST PerfectFit hydraulic clutch actuator package. Finishing off the look will be the SST reproduction shifter handle and six-speed shifter ball.

“As we rebuild this one-of-a-kind Raybestos ’69 Mustang Fastback, we are keeping in mind the Boss 302 Mustang of 1969,” said Jeff Schwartz, president of Schwartz Performance. “The classic colors and striping are true to the time, and we will install a new Ford Coyote engine that is very similar to the one found in the modern Boss 302.”

Among the many high-caliber components in store for this unique project are off-the-shelf Raybestos performance disc brakes utilizing its Element3 brake pads and a “G-Machine” bolt-in chassis. Last year the two companies teamed up on a 1971 Camaro, and like that car this ‘69 Mustang will tour North America through 2016 until the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) Show, at which point a grand prize winner will be selected.

Might it be you? Only if you enter. For now you can follow along as the rough 1969 Mustang that the project began with gets restored into the vision pictured above.
